ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE
Tue Jun 16 2009 08:45:10 ET
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)

I said it once, twice, three times and I’ll say it again.
Jackie O, my ass!
I hope we start partying like its 1776 or 1861. This absolutely crosses the line and frankly tea parties or writing your congressmen or voting in 2010 or 2012 just isn't going to cut it anymore now that the media has officially declared they are controlled by Obama.
Your remark is soooooo Right! When are the People going to wake up? God help us in the USA.
This give FOXnews a week to prepare an evening of programming featuring a “fair and balanced” discussion of the issues.
Perhaps they could host it at a location such as Independence Hall.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if, with the right promotion, this was the first time that cable news programming beat a show from the alphabet networks?
So this makes it official... I KNEW it... when Obama said in that speech promoting ObamaCare to NOT LISTEN to scare tactics on this.... He is a dangerous man, period end of subject.
And this isn’t the Onion.
God help us.
“so far the government has bled dry every industry except for healthcare”
The US government is hugely into healthcare. What´s coming is just going to deliver the coup de grace and make it official.
In a perverse way it might even be (slightly) good. Better a socialized system than a semi-socialized one where the (unsurprising) problems caused by socialism are blamed on “greed” or “capitalism”.
Of course, that’s just a possible silver lining on the huge black cloud presently hanging over the US health care system...

TIME TO BOYCOTT EVERY SINGLE DISNEY/ABC/NBC product and advertiser folks!
Enough is enough.
Is Gibson going to look over his glasses at Zero in that condescending way of his like he did Palin? DOUBT it.
Fox News should put together their own healthcare forum/debate at the same time and same day to counter ABC.
Collusion between the Media and the DNC continues. And Yellow Dog Democrats insist there is no bias.
Boycott DISNEY. Parent Corp of ABC.
HIT THE LEFT WHERE IT HURTS. In the pocketbook.
They may be liberals but they still worship money.
Thank you for your feedback and questions regarding the ABC News Special, “Questions for the President: Prescription for America” which will air on the ABC TV network on June 24, 2009 at 10 PM ET.

ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: With the Republican National Committee complaining to ABC News about plans to broadcast a health care “conversation” from the White House next week, ABC today has responded to the complaint.
The letter -- to RNC Chief of Staff Ken McKay, from ABC News Senior Vice President Kerry Smith -- points out that ABC “will have complete editorial control” over the broadcasts, and says that “no one watching, listening to, or reading ABC News will lack for an understanding of all sides of these important questions.” Read the full response HERE.

E-mail ABC and let them know that this is unacceptable! I just did.
Voters. Very impressionable, politically uneducated and ideologically unsophisticated voters - who's votes count the exact same as either yours or mine.
People wonder, including me, how Gallup can put "conservatives" at 40% of the electorate, yet at the same time say that 39% of those "conservatives" support Barack Obama. I'll bet a significant number of those "conservatives" that support Obama, also watch with regularity ABC World News, NBC Nightly News and Couric's News program, in addition to the morning broadcast chat shows.
Between last week's NBC/Brian Williams love fest of Obama, and next week's ABC Obama worship hour, and the inevitable prime-time CBS special about Barry, it's a wonder that Obama's approval rating isn't at 80%.
Hosted by Shepherd Smith?
Fox isn’t conservative.
