All Barack Channel aka ABC

[dinojen]

Almost all day long.. ABC will be at the White House, the day starts with Diane Sawyer, moving on to Robin Roberts interview with the first lady, the we have Charlie Gibson doing the nightly news from the Blue Room at the White House.. then finally the POTUS comes back to "openly and without bias" to discuss his health care program. That's a busy day at the White House.

I have two links.. one of course is ABC discussing what is going on today on their network.. Second is one questioning how this can actually be non-bias. All just my opinion.. don't plan on watching any of it, will get the snippets tomorrow, can't take a whole day of this administration.. JMO.

Imagine if from sunup to sunset — and beyond — ABC were to broadcast its news shows for an entire day from the heart of the executive branch of our federal government. The lineup would start with "Good Morning, America" from the Obama White House and progress through the day's entire lineup of news programs, culminating in a "Town Hall" meeting at the White House that night. The topic? Obama's plans for a government takeover of the nation's health care system.

No opposing points of view would be permitted, which means that those in the "Town Hall" would be hand-selected by ABC and the White House. Additionally, ABC would decline to run any advertising that day presenting any other points of view.

Well, imagine no more, because that day has arrived. Are you comprehending this, America? Welcome to Pravda USA!

Guess we will see at the end of this long long day of Obama TV how balanced this "town hall" really is..

All JMHO..

as do the ones who dislike Fox...

I switch over to Fox occasionally just to keep informed on what lies/misrepresentations they are spreading at the time. It is funny sometimes to watch the people on there and their outrage over their own misrepresentations. IMO

I have never seen a president so consumed with media before. He certainly chose appropriately, Administration Biased Channel.

It is called Transparency. IMO

I know we are all used to the old ways of Bush. Everything secret secret. What were all those secrets? Why was GWB so afraid of the media? Why did he have preplanned questions asked of him and why did he choose to lie to the American people and then hide from them?

This is better much much better- BO has nothing to hide. I like that about him.

IMO

I applaud your honesty. I don't believe Fox shares that honest trait, but I think you'll be much happier viewing your own opinions echoed.

I so agree with you on this. That is exactly what people who watch Fox get - their own opinions shouted back at them. So reinforcing for the people in denial about the true facts. IMO

Thank Gd for TV remotes and we have a choice not to watch this stuff. I will be interested in the viewership after the day is over. ABC and CBS news have gotten their lowest rating ever last week and the decline will continue.:thumbsup:

Scroll down to the scorecard. There must be a lot of TVs on the wall.

There sure is. IMO

Everytime I am in an airport, they have CNN on.
Dr's offices must be making up the balance.....but why not? They aren't owned by the govt......yet.

They are in Motomarts, they are in Burger Kings, I see them everywhere now. I am standing in line at Kroger watching the big screen, very sureal but a sign of the times I guess. Usually, but not always the TV is on Fox. Others are ESPN or CNN. This is what I've noticed.

ETA- another thing I've noticed is that Wal-Marts have little video screens with ads playing all the time talking about the product they are near. That's also very weird to me.
