ABC is refusing paid ads for its health care program at the White House. Thus they're refusing even a paid-for alternative viewpoint.
Conservatives for Patients Rights requested the rates to buy a 60 second network spot immediately preceding the broadcast of the Town Hall meeting.
Here is statement from Rick Scott, chairman of Conservatives for Patients Rights.
"It is unfortunate - and unusual - that ABC is refusing to accept paid advertising that would present an alternative viewpoint for the White House health care event. Health care is an issue that touches every American and all potential pieces of legislation have carried a pricetag in excess of $1 trillion of taxpayers' money. The American people deserve a healthy, robust debate on this issue and ABC's decision - as of now - to exclude even paid advertisements that present an alternative view does a disservice to the public. Our organization is more than willing to purchase ad time on ABC to present an alternative viewpoint and our hope is that ABC will reconsider having such viewpoints be part of this crucial debate for the American people. We were surprised to hear that paid advertisements would not be accepted when we inquired and we would certainly be open to purchasing time if ABC would reconsider."

That’s what Rush suggested today.

This is a harbinger of what’s to come....you won’t BE allowed to pay for your own healthcare with cash.
Zerobama has to have TOTUS. He doesn't memorize well.
“This is a harbinger of what’s to come....you won’t BE allowed to pay for your own healthcare with cash.”
I was at the doctors on Monday. I handed them some cash...they refused it. Only credit cards.
Welcome to Iran/China/Russia/USSA
The time is upon us.
watch for this injustice to hypocritically be used to push the “Fairness Doctrine”.

Of course ABC does.
Meanwhile ABC’s Congressional friends are pushing for the Fairness Doctrine for talk radio...
You and me both sister.
It is utterly frightening what an Oligarchy can do. We no longer have a republic.
Proud to say that I live 10 miles from Anaheim and have never been to Disneyland and do not intend to go.
That would be funny, ABC woul BY LAW be required to give equal time thereby shooting itself in the foot LOL
They aren't state run, they are run by people from the far left who put their ideology ahead for the truth.
They do that regardless of who is in office and what the official policies of the government are.
I respect their right to free speech, but I question how blocking opposing views on broadcast bandwidth they lease from the public advances free speech. As long as other networks allow opposing viewpoints, the government should probably stay out of it. I disagree with what they are doing buy I fear government intervention more than I fear their propaganda as long as people have means to get other viewpoints heard.
However, the public does need to know that they are blocking opposing viewpoints from being heard on their network.
There is another option. Think hard. It'll come to you.
The SOUP line?
Anyone know when this infomercial will air?
We’re forcing them out in the open...like the rats they are.

Well, it’s sort of like his press conferences where no one is allowed to ask questions.
No, WHABC.

lol
Word is that it’s set for next Wednesday evening, June 24.
