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 bet NBC is asking why it wasn't them.

Nonetheless, where is CONGRESS in all this? This is nothing more than collective brain washing.

As far as the opposoing views.... I figured they would do as they normally do..... have the opposing view aired but aired in a maner to make the opposition look like a crazy radical and dismiss him as a right-wing freak.
Sometimes I think they show opposing views just to have the opprotunity to belittle them.

OPN
Obama Propaganda network

It wasn’t enough to have the MSM being his cheerleaders, they still might question something every now and then.

better for him to take right over now and avoid the rush ...

I wrote the following to my ABC affiliate:

Gentlemen,

It has come to my attention that ABC, of which you are an affiliate, intends to turn their programming over to the Obama administration in furtherance of the President’s health care policies on June 24th. I would find this acceptable only if those in opposition to the President’s Big Government Plan where given the opportunity to showcase their ideas as well. Unfortunately we both know how Mr. Gibson and the rest of ABC have decided to play this. On June 24th your station will be used by your big brother as an extension of the White House. No opposing views will be allowed*. So in short, you will turn your facilities over to a particular ideology so they can help indoctrinate your audience into believing the President’s prescription for health care is the way to go.

Shame on WSB on two counts. First, by allowing this travesty to be broadcast, you show your tacit approval for this un-American display of bias. And secondly, you show those in your audience who do not share your love of all things Obama, your utter contempt for their views. When the media takes sides in what is decidedly a political fight for power, you have abrogated your responsibility as journalists.

Should be titled:

“Deathcare: Our plan to reduce America's population”
(He He He...YOU'RE just to stupid and busy to realize it.)

It is going to be an hour long infomercial for this piece of crap idea. If ABC wants to prove they are nothing but a propaganda machine they should let someone do an hour long rebuttal right afterward. Isn't that what the “Fairness Doctrine” idea they are so keen on pushes?

The ABC audience consists of liberal koolaide drinkers. I guess BO wants to reassure them.

What do you mean the pic makes her look fat, she is fat. She needs a “wide load” or “this vehicle makes wide right turns” sign on her back.
