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 means no NASCAR when it moves to ESPN. How ironic. They should have stayed with FOX but I guess they're aiming for a "crossover" audience... don't know.
Thanks for providing the link. Very scary - we are right on the edge of losing everything we, as Americans, love about this country and hold close to our hearts. Everyone should listen to this recording.
Apparently along with every other American who is not either wheelchair-bound or confined to a hospital bed.
Boycott Disney!!!
where can i buy this? i just checked ebay - nothing there....
With ABC now broadcasting from the White House Propaganda Room, you can bet that the Justice Dept will quash any investigation.
BOYCOTT ABC. SEND THEM YOUR MESSAGE. DO IT NOW.
If we want to punish ABC, we’re going to have to hit them in the ratings department not just their sponsors. Target specific shows and sponsors so they know where the message is coming from rather than allow them to generalize the overall drop.
Give up LOST this year. If they watch their top show bomb in the ratings they’ll get the message.

It would be sacreligious to question the Messiah and his healing works and powers.
The Psalm of B.O...
Obama is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me measure my carbon footprint
He leadeth me beside the closed factories.
He destroyeth my faith in the American electorate.
He leadeth me down the path of Marxism for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the hope & change, I fear this evil:
For the media will cover for him; The fairness doctrine will silence me.
Thou preparest an unconditional meeting with our enemies:
thou anointest my head with ACORNS and kool-aid;
my income tax bill runneth over.
Surely hope and change will give way to reality and anger
And we will only live with BO for 4 years.
Six months? This is a takeover that has been methodically plotted, planned and orchestrated by an anti-American group of marxists for many years, including the economic meltdown in September. There is no way that in a short six months anyone can achieve what this man has done on his own.
EVERYBODY. I REFUSE to watch ABC, NBC, CBS (except for sports) and CNN isnt even a consideration. Stop watching those channels.
Believe me, that's old news. The major American media outlets (print & broadcast) have all been propaganda organs for the Democrat Party and the leftist/socialist way of thinking for decades. They started showing their intentions during the Vietnam War era and really shed all objectivity when Richard Nixon was elected.
There is only one view needed — that of the State Media arm of the People’s Democratic Republic of the USSA.
You're getting colder. A little more to the right...
Time to hang the mouse.
GOVT RUN MEDIA, this is Germany in the 1930’s. People need to write ABC (American Bogus Channel) and scream at THEM ! Boycott the trash FOREVER !

How about we see you on the front lines instead?
Jesus... When did Americans become such pacifist p-—ies?
