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 have blocked all ABC related channels on my televisions. I cannot do much more other than send letters of protest, boycott advertisers and picket the local station on weekends.

I can't help but hope that most of the citizens of the country will wake up to the “O” plan before it is too late. Once it gets to a certain point there will be no turning back.

Who even watches ABC?

Those with the most to “gain” from nationalized healthcare watch ABC & other broadcast networks.

And lest anyone laugh this off, remember that just last week, over 700,000 phone calls were fielded on the “DTV Hotline” because so many people were confused about how to make their TV’s work now.

If he did that, then Republicans could gain control of it by winning the Presidency.

ABC, the Obama Network...

You mean, OBC, don't you?

But, why not change the whole MSM to OMS (Obama Media Services), which would include, of course, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, NY Times, PBS, NPR, etc.

Thank you, daaaaahling!

I offered to make clothes for the Obama family, but they didn’t want to pay my fee. Oh well, I don’t dwell on the past, I just live in the now!

I have emailed ABC that as of now I am boycotting all ABC programming and advertisers because of ABC’s unethical bias in propagandizing the disastrously unaffordable and damaging 0bama health care plan.

Well, I loved watching “Dancing with the Stars”, but no more. I’ll not watch anything this network shows, ever again!

This is what happens when the voters elect a marxist to power. Perhaps soon, people will finally understand what communism is all about.

I have pretty much quit watching anything—once in a while local weather on the local news. I have watched the Sunday morning propaganda ocassionally, but I basically watch Fox News and now Fox Business because I don’t trust the “news” on CNBC since they are owned by GE.

Just wondering if anyone knows, but does Nielson use our cable box settings to compute ratings or just certain chosen households?

Pravda. Joseph Goebbels.

Right. Should be about as successful as that Air America gambit of algorithm. They’ll need an ‘in house’ ratings system like the mullahs have going in Iran.

It’d be pretty cool to have a “This is John Galt speaking...” interruption that night.
