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)

It is their last gasping breath, the leftist media is running on borrowed time.

I rather *like* the idea of having our President holding such a town meeting like this on ABC News.

All I ask is that half the audience and half the questions of our President are Freepers!

Since ABC News will never agree to this, this program will turn out wretched. But one can still hope. Jesus advised us to do so.

Hi, ABC News people! We know you’re surfing here! How about getting people like Kristinn, and enough of us here to make up half the audience! We’ll make your little “town hall meeting” with Charlie Gibson exciting television!

Who knows? Every time I check the news, I'm frightened by what I read.

What we do is quite simple. We boycott ABC and it’s sponsors. Start an email campaign where everyone sends it to everyone they know. Hey, it worked on Letterman.

They might as well stop pretending they’re a nonpartisan network.

All house and Senate Republicans should stage a sit in on the Capital steps that evening the media should/maybe cover it and then they can offer their Point of view on the other news stations.

If not that then I say the Iranians seem to be getting a fair share of press with their protests...

Street protests may be the only way to counter American Pravda.

I actually think that the old liberal Howard K. Smith would have spoken out against this if he were still around.

ABC, the Obama Network...

This means that NBC and CBS will now try even harder to please Obama. Expect more groveling.

I told someone before the election, that I thought our Country could survive 4 years of anybody, but now I’m not so sure. Things are heating up so fast and furious that I’m afraid of the worst case scenario for our Country and the options to save it are looking less and less pretty. Of course we must save the Nation, at all costs, but I sense a foreboding that I’ve never felt before. Pray for our Country and even though we may not deserve it, ask God to not remove his divine protection over our Nation.

I’m with ya’. Ratings and money are BAD for the networks right now. Any sort of pressure would be noticed.
