ABC News is Censoring Me
Vanity
Posted on 10/15/2008 10:34:24 PM PDT by SantaLuz
I've been following me own advice from today and posting on ABC News site. I've been doing this over the last couple of weeks. I've done it long enough to notice a pattern. My posts show up for about 1 minute and then are deleted by the moderator. In other cases they are deleted immediately. My posts are not vulgar or hateful, but conservative.
I also noticed tonight that other posts that were critical of George Stephanoplous were allowed to live for less than a minute before they were deleted.
So much for first amendment rights. These aren't for us little press people, but just for the Press. (Who defines what the Press is in this Web 2.0 age). Of course this isn't censorship in the literal sense, but it's censorship in the liberal sense. ABC is seriously in the tank for the O. They are big losers this election.

Here's where it gets blurred. Is George Stephanopoulos a reporter or commentator? (He is not a trained journalist). ABC in my view treats him as both. When he speaks he speaks with the voice of ABC. In one of the posts that I sent to ABC (that was deleted) I pointed out that this was equivalent to ABC hiring Karl Rove and letting him report for ABC News. In my mind George has never left the DNC ranch. He gave Obama and Biden all the debate victories, and a myriad other examples over the years. Even liberal Mark Halperin of Time, awarded last night's debate to McCain. So ABC News and the MSM get to say who a reporter is; not the Government. This will be an important distinction when the (Un)Fairness Doctrine kicks in, and the Obama truth squads become part of the Government. (Actually in the case of Missouri they already are).

I was banned from ABCNews boards a long time ago for similar things - nothing offensive, just conservative.
Maybe it’s time to go back...
