ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE
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.
Can we all at least admit that ABC has ceased to be a news organization and is just a mouthpiece for Obama and the Democrats? Our press has decided to kill themselves, be polite and don't watch.

They could have run the story like they usually do, without overrunning the White House, in keeping with their usual flak. Now they ADMIT their bias openly. There is no longer any line between ABC media and politics.
I rather think they've sold their souls, and quite some time ago, not that they're committing suicide.

at least we can finally put that myth to bed that the media is unbiased. They just came out officially, not that it wasn't hard to tell before. I liken it to Clay Aiken coming out as gay 3 years after everyone figured it out.

Who's Clay Aiken and why would I care? Although it is a pretty funny name for a gay guy(?).

All I see is some douche with a funny haircut. Should I waste my time reading about him? I don't watch Entertainment Tonight, either.

I know you have all his music formatted for your 8-track.
Don't play coy.

ABC seems to have decided it wants to be the main mouthpiece for the State. In an era lurching towards Statism/Fascism that may be actually a survival strategy. Not much of a loss for all us plebes who won't fall into line - we already get our news elsewhere.

I can honestly say I don't think I've ever actually sat down and watched ABC World News Tonight. I used to watch Brokaw on NBC and Brian Williams was ok before he fell in love with Obama. Since then I stick to Drudge and Fox and CNN.com (not CNN) for my news. And CNBC for financial news.
