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 thought our Country could survive 4 years of anybody, but now I’m not so sure.

Comrades! do not trouble yourselves with doubt or questions. As a great leader said, "There . . . ah . . . is . . . um . . . nothing to . . . ah . . . fear but . . . uh . . . Bush. . .er . . . fear itself." After all, we have entirely too many news sources now and some weeding out needs to be done. Hate speech found on the Internet and deceptive reporting like the Wall Street Journal and Fox News, as mild as they may be, send only negative vibrations to the people. Haven't we had enough of that ???

The new All Barack Content news will simplify things for our loyal citizens. Uh, you are loyal aren't you?? Never mind, we will be checking up on you from time to time.

“So it’s business as usual in the MSM?”

Only slightly more blatant.

Will the rest of America care that we no longer have an independent press? Will the rest of American care that the ‘press’ children, who implore us to trust them and their objectivity, will only report corruption on one side of the aisle?

I recall some effort a few years ago to monitor world freedom. I suggest to those folks they remove from the tally 300,000,000 souls. Maybe... maybe, they can add them back, in 2012.

Actually according to Rush, ABC is appealing to Nielsen to audit the numbers. Their nightly news dropped from 7million to 4million viewers (even less than Katie’s 5million viewers) when the tv signals went from analog to digital.

The public is tuning them out. Get ready for another government payoff.

Just rename the MSM “The Ministry of Propaganda”. That’s what they are. Truth in advertising.

We do nothing

By the time we do do something, it WILL be too late.

“I could get everything else but Free Republic.”

It’s a mystery. For a moment, I thought the mullahs had taken over. };>)

Actually I see this as a plus.
They are dropping any pretense of neutrality.


I agree that it may really blow up on them—the independents are starting to get uncomfortable with some of the shennanigans going on, this will only fuel the fire. I also saw a preview that Obama is giving an interview to main Washington business reporter on CNBC—I recently stopped watching CNBC for business news when I heard that GE Pres. put pressure on NBC to go Green and support Green initiatives.

First thing each Patriot should do is to boycott this ABC/Obama propaganda.
