On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Highlights on the agenda:

ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.

The network plans a primetime special -- 'Prescription for America' -- originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate. (snip)

Of course, anybody who opposes this will be branded a "hater."

Remember when the Clinton administration was letting networks get PSA credit for inserting anti-drug messages into their sitcoms? I guess the MSM only bends over for Democrat administrations.

Well Obama found it important to use Teddy Roosevelt’s name during his AMA briefing, maybe he really didn’t understand Teddy. Here is Teddy Roosevelt’s quote against nationalized Health Care.

“If a man stumbles, it is a good thing to help him to his feet. Every one of us needs a helping hand now and then. But if a man lies down, it is a waste of time to try and carry him; and it is a very bad thing for every one if we make men feel that the same reward will come to those who shirk their work and those who do it. Let us, then, take into account the actual facts of life, and not be misled into following any proposal for achieving the millennium, for recreating the golden age, until we have subjected it to hardheaded examination.”

What hardheaded examination with PRAVDA allow?

"ABCNEWS alone will select those who will be in the audience asking questions of the president. Like any programs we broadcast, ABC News will have complete editorial control.

We know.

All this publicity stunt does is re-enforce the notion that the media is in Obamas pocket.

This actually good —

Believe it or now, there are some dumbasses who didn’t know that ABC (and the rest of the state-run medjia), are nothing more than propagana arms of Chairman Zero and the Demon Party.

Now the dumbasses have been informed by their favorite news source, “Hey dumbasses, we’re completely biased.”

Dumbasses all over the US are SHOCKED!!

I feel like Dorothy Parker who said that no matter how outrageous things were, she couldn’t keep up. Just when she thought she had “seen it all”, something else happened.

“this is just...I don’t even know where to start...”

It ends at the line in the sand.

I just left the following comment for ABC:

So, no dissenting opinions on Health Care on June 24th? Just the (Democrat) Party line?

I guess I'll have to look elsewhere for fair and balanced coverage.

The media has gone from watchdog to lapdog.
