ABC Allows a Scant 21 Seconds for ObamaCare Grilling, Hypes New 'Thor' Movie
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 11/07/2013 10:20:26 AM PST by chessplayer

ABC on Wednesday and Thursday managed a mere 21 seconds total for the latest revelations about the botched ObamaCare rollout, minimizing the grilling that Kathleen Sebelius took before Congress and the resignation of one of the people behind the website. Instead, Good Morning America focused on deeply irrelevant topics such as promoting "Thor's leading lady," star Natalie Portman. In comparison to ObamaCare, the actress appeared for over three minutes on Thursday.

NBC's Today also yawned at the resignation of Tony Trenkle, the chief information officer at HealthCare.gov.

Now the media will go into ignore mode, like they did with the IRS "fake scandal."

if the SCM doesn't report it, it doesn't exist...plain and simple truth...

while most of us get our news from the internet, even the young technically superior yutes still listen to the SCM and npr...and its misrepresentations, its ignoring issues, its embellishing...

if there exists any really rich conservatives, and they care about this country, they would buy the large media...

The operative word in “The Corrupt Liberal Media” is “Corrupt”.

Liberalism has killed journalism.

You do know that Disney is the parent company for both ABC and Marvel, right?

Ignoring the story will not work.

The media isn’t trusted. people can see, feel, taste the fact that they lost their insurance

Wouldn’t watch ABC News on a bet. They’ve been found out long ago.

You can only ignore the stories where the bill does not arrive in people’s mailboxes.

Reached that conclusion years ago when everytime I turned them on some Canuck was reading the news. No one south of the 49th. Parallel liberal enough to suit them, I guess.

The MSM is a pop culture media. They know the future is with the youth.

I haven’t watched ABC news since Peter Jennings accused Republicans of throwing a “temper tantrum” following results of the 1992 election came in.

News for LIVs. Their average attention span is now shorter than that of an average rhesus monkey.

Remember about twenty years go when ABC got caught faking video to go with their news report?

Real news with a fake video.

Nobody with a regular day job watches GMA and they know who they are aiming at. Not surprizing at all.

We’re all enjoying bashing ABC, but the video you refer to was faked by NBC. They put explosives under a truck and set them off to prove it was “unsafe”.

***the video you refer to was faked by NBC. They put explosives under a truck***

That was a different video. The one I am thinking about was either a spy or a bribery case in which the video showed a fuzzy distant shot of two people exchanging a brief case. That video was faked to go with the news story.
