Frankly who cares if ABC has a slanted infomercial about health care broadcast from the White House?

Does anyone even watch ABC anymore? and can it possibly be worse than the drivel spit out over at MSNBC 24-7.

Seems it’s too little too late GOP. Should have had these concerns a LONG time ago and stood up to a lot of things. But...they didn’t. What else would they expect from networks and this administration and the left??????????????? Are they surprised??? Shocked? What a joke all of them are ... BOTH PARTIES!!!

Slanted reporting on ABC?

If they get any more slanted, they will be perpendicular to the ground.

I guess that’s where they’re headed.

Let’s hope that they crash into the ground, as well.

B’bye ABC ...

Now what was it that Hillary complained about “the vast right wing conspiracy,” well I guess we’ve found the real conspiracy. “A Big Conspiracy” is usually hard to hide.

Fear is such a lame cop out. Why doesn’t the GOP get some raw courage?

Fear is making Obama larger than ever. Obama should be impeached and ran out on a rail for some of his actions....yet everyone is intimidated and cowering in fear.

The whole thing is disgusting.

I want the US government out of control of my life.

Just use a parental channel lock for any ABC station, since most everybody has some form of digital set its not difficult at all and what most people do not realize is that all sat receivers send a signal back of what channel you are watching and these are tallied up for advertising selling, less people watch ABC means less people willing to buy ad time.

Yes, as opposed to level.

We survived the Clinton News Network, (I think their ratings will never recover) and we’ll survive this All Barrack Channel. Thank God there are other sources (at this time) to turn to. ABC will plummet.

Speaking of other sources does anyone know what happened to FR yesterday?

“If they get any more slanted, they will be perpendicular to the ground.”

Actually, being perpendicular (at a right angle to the ground) would mean they’d be standing up straight, which means they wouldn’t be leaning either way.

Where the hell has the the GOP been? Ever since Nixon was in office, the media has been pro dim party. Anyone remember the media’s coverage of Reagan? Jeez, they savaged the man even at his funeral. The media has been 85 to 90% lib dim rat until the “one” came along. When he got into the race, they just went completly nuts throwing all objectivity/nuetrality out the window. They have morphed from liberal leaning to full out on the train for obama and his fellow travellers. The ironic thing is that as the ecomony worsens, the media will continue to lose business forcing more layoffs, putting more of these rats out of work. At some time, there will be talk of a bailout/takeover of the media. Then the bamster will tell the media how to report the news and it will be official. They are defacto state run media and heading down the path to making it offical. Funny thing is that these people have been the most vocal about protecting the 1st ammendment which guarantees their very existance and they are happily participating in their own demise. These idiots are educated WAY beyond their collective intelligence.
