ABC Becomes the Official Government News Outlet; Will Anchor News From the White House

  It is no big secret that the mainstream media is in bed with the president but this news takes the cake. ABC has worked out a deal where they will be broadcasting their news from inside the White House.

  As part of the deal ABC will be touting the president’s troubled healthcare reform bill; including a prime-time special that will not voice an opposing position. If this were talk radio the cry for the fairness doctrine would be re-established.

  This deal is taking the media bias to a whole new level. How can ABC even pretend to report objectively on the president when there will be the threat from the president that they will have their premium position in the White House rescinded and replaced with another network? At least before ABC pretended that they were an impartial news organization. Now we know that they are nothing more than a mouthpiece for the president.

  Is there really anyone out there besides the administration that doesn’t see a major problem here? The president has made ABC the official news network of the presidency. This strikes very closely the same note that Hugo Chavez is ringing in his country.

  The president now has an official government news station. He will be able to dictate the news and the angles that ABC pursues under the threat of removing them from their unprecedented position. ABC will fall in line with the president on all issues. They have sold their souls to the president and as such they will cater to his every whim.

  How can anybody consider ABC a legitimate news organization any more? They have now become the propaganda arm of the government. At least now they are out in the open, there is no longer any debate that they will carry the president’s water.
