What do you think about ABC giving hours of air-time to Obama's Healthcare plan and denying any sort of opposing or alternative views .... even denying paid for ads? Here's the link to the report .

I think ABC can do what it wants. Freedom of the Press states nothing about reporting accurately or fairly, while that would be an altruistic idea, it is just not reality. However, we all have Freedom of the Press, this right is afforded to all citizens and there are other networks including Fox that would like air opposing viewpoints even if ABC doesn't. Some folks with think this reflects poorly on ABC as I do and others won't.
I think it is pittifuly that they can not view multiple opinions, but as PEF says, they are not required too.
But it is also just proof that you can not get all your news and information from one source. You have to take multiple inputs and form you own conculsions.
I have not been a fan of ABC ever since they hired George Step-'n-all-over-us.
How is this any different than the NBC program "Inside the Obama White House" or whatever they named that program. We are going to hear what THEY want us to hear.
Media is treating him like a 'black Kennedy'. Lets pray he doesn't end up a dead Kennedy - no pun intended.
There are nut cases out there that want him whacked. To be clear I do not want Obama, or family, hurt or harmed.
But you have to ask yourself, darn near every President has been shot at since Ford (Squeaky Frome), Reagan (Twinkie nut case), and Clinton (AK 47 White House guy, plane crashed into WH). If Carter, 'George Herbert' and "W" were shot at I'm unaware or can't remember, so pipe in if you know.
ABC is gonna show what ABC wants, and all the other networks for that matter; and all for ratings - nothing more. Don't be delusional and think it ain't about ratings cuz I know the producer for Fox 4 and he says all this 'caring about your ***' b.s. is just that. It's ALL about ratings.
Groucho Marx (genius) said - "I find TV very educational. Whenever the set is switched on I go into another room and read a book'. Timelessly classic statement!

what happened to GOOD reporting?????? it saddens me deeply to know that our free nation has been sold out when it comes to accurate reporting. I believe both sides should be put out there. How are we suppose to make an educated decision without it. BLAH!!!!!!!!
