ABC: The All Barack Channel

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 16, 2009 11:23 AM

ABC News should be required to register as a federal lobbyist.

On June 24, Drudge reports, the network will broadcast from inside the White House to air a propaganda special for Obamacare.

Opposing voices will reportedly be excluded. ABC News says “thoughtful” and “diverse” points of view will be allowed. In other words: Shills of all colors!

ABC: The All Barack Channel.

Rush calls ‘em our state-run media.

I call it government-controlled stenography.

Sharpen your pencils, boys and girls, and look spiffy when Dear Leader comes to greet you.

    OK – I may be dreaming – but aren’t all broadcaster licensed to work for the benefit of the public good? They are by definition ‘public airways’.

    What would it take to have the RNC or some well heeled Senators and Representatives to go and demand that ABC’s FCC licenses to broadcast be lifted as this kind of broadcasting is not in the public interest?

    We have GOT to boycott ABC and if necessary, drive it out of business! We cannot, for the sake of this country, allow the government to coopt the news organizations. This is just the first step and it is an obvious one at that!
    Contact the sponsors of ABC programming and make it clear you will not buy their goods as long as they advertise on ABC. Contact your representitives and let them know that this is unacceptable! This is worse than it looks people!

    Which begs the question…. who the hell are these people in that 60% that think he’s doing a good job? I can understand that 10% to 15% of the people in this country will still approve of him even if he was caught loading his car trunk with money from the Treasury on live TV. But beyond that whack-job portion of the population, what exactly do these people think he’s doing that’s actually good?

    They apparently must not be paying attention.

    Somehow I don’t think people like “Mr. Thug Thizzle” voter in Ohio (?) or the ones questioned right after voting who had no idea who Pelosi is or who was really in control of congress, paid attention before or after pulling the lever for the person ‘everyone else’ was voting for.

    I believe the snap back to the right after this debacle is going to be severe and long lasting- we just need to figure out how to survive this onslaught until Nov. 2010. Unfortunately that’s apparently going to be no mean feat.

    the big media push is their solution to everything… and it hasnt seemed to work too well yet. we would all like to see this Pimp get a toilet plunger to the face in the middle of speech about his policies (that are losing support as we speak)….. but resistance and defeat of Soetoro will be slow and arduous…..but even without a hostile media, healthcare is not going to pass.

    Here is a hard, cold fact; THE ONE was elected because of his race. He maintains the popularity numbers he has because of race. His polling numbers are an aberration.

    This is apparent when the polls gauge BIG BRO’s programs and policies. The support for several of those are in the toilet… It is an apparent, but readily understood, paradox.

    Bull! The major networks are constantly reporting the inane Republican positions on things, and mostly (though this is hard for reporters who actually know things) with a straight face.

    Just yesterday ABC reported John McCain saying that the US has the most efficient health care system in the world. ABC reporters refrained from then reporting studies showing we have one of the least efficient systems. Republicans have no idea how much they benefit from unquestioning reporters shoveling their s**t.

    Gee, comments at The ABCucaracha-network response are closed…

    Just like their minds.

    Could a group who closed comments to limit opposing/exposing comments reasonably be expected to air all sides as quoted here (… with correction and additions on behalf of full-disclosure…):

    To that end, ABC News announced plans to broadcast a primetime hour from the White House devoted to exploring and probing the President’s position and givingmuting voice to questions and criticisms of that position. We hope that any American concerned about health care will find our efforts to be informative, fair and civilcloying, farcical and somnolent.

    Second, ABC News prides itself on covering burying all sides [opposing the messiah] of important issues and asking direct [though irrelevant] questions of all newsmakers our owners — of all political persuasions — even when others have taken a more partisan approach and even in the face of criticism from extremes on both ends of the political spectrum. ABC News is looking for the most thoughtful and diversehomogeneity and conformability of voices on this issue. ABC News [The Prophet] Rohm Emmanuel alone will select those who will be in the audience asking questions of the president. Like any programs we broadcast, ABC News will have complete editorial control. To suggest otherwise is quite unfair to both our journalists and our audience. [We Obey Our God, Lord Cucaracha after all...]

    The Networks often give time to a President to make important speeches like the State of the Union. I don’t believe they are required to do so. They do it because the other guy is doing it and perhaps out of the spirit of patriotism. That is what they are doing here.

    One network decided they will help the cause of Nationalized Health Care which “they” support. To allow dissenting opinions would lessen the impact they want. Pure and simple. And just wrong on many levels. They could run their “60 minutes” type special on it any time they want, any way they want.

    The people in charge at ABC must feel it is their duty to support political agendas instead of just fairly representing both sides of the issue. That would be too logical and not a good use of their “power base” that they have being in charge of such a powerful entity as broadcasting info to the citizens. They can control people by controlling the info.

    This is what Alynsky and others were talking about. Leveraging your power to maintain control. Once in control, you can do what you want and work to attain more power and more control.

    No, I don’t think they can do a show on a sitting House Speaker.

    And such a documentary would probably be far more entertaining and educational, stimulating your brain cells…. instead of depleting them, which is the natural outcome of watching most major network programming.

    Um, HOMEBOYS IN OUTER SPACE ran for 21 episodes. People will watch anything.

    A few months ago I was sitting in a bar in Anaheim having a brew with a business associate, and the oversize televisions were showing —- Seguay Jowsting. You’re right – people will watch anything.

    Fox news is the only channel that gives both sides. That means, they gotta go. Any form of news that does not give bho, in his warp view, 100% ok has to be under the bus. MM, HA, Rush, Sarah, Hannity, the list goes on and on are targets. We American’s need to say, enough!! If we can’t see what the Iran people are going through for a tiny bit of freedom, our country is next. Gotta wake up America. TEA parties anyone?

    Ok… here’s the mini-letter I sent to ABC Shmooze:

    Dear ABC:

    It’s incredibly disappointing (though, not at all surprising) that ABC News would appoint itself our new feuhrer’s first main department of propaganda. You see, THIS is why I have watched FoxNews for 8 years straight, and why I will CONTINUE to get my news from them… because they report actual NEWS, not forcefeeding socialist BS to the masses.

    I can’t wait to see what this sh!t does to your stupid ratings.

    I hope ABC fails!

    From ABC’s reply:

    In the end, no one watching, listening to, or reading ABC News will lack for an understanding of all sides of these important questions.

    If you say so. No need to look elsewhere now.

    Wait a minute. What are the answers to the questions we’ll understand? True or false, multiple choice, or essay? Fingers crossed for true or false.

    Again we see the use of one of the three primary weapons of the Marxists: the media (the other two being the church and state-run eduation).
    “A quiet revolution can be dispersed throughout a culture over a period of time to destroy it from within. Mass psychology and media can break the traditions, beliefs and morals and the will of a nation so there is no possibility of resistance.” ~ Antonio Gramsci
    “Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity. … In the new order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society.” ~ Antonio Gramsci
    “Of all the arts, the motion picture is the most important.” ~Vladimir Lenin
    “This weapon [cinema], which cries out to be used, is the best instrument for political propaganda, which cuts into the memory and may be made a possible source of revenue.” ~ Leon Trotsky

    It turns out the Director of Communications for the White House Office of Health Reform, since last month, is former ABC News correspondent Linda Douglass, who left journalism last year to join the Obama campaign.

    We don’t care how much butt we have to kiss, we want those greenbacks. If you don’t watch, we don’t care, we expect in the future for you to have much fewer choices, so you’ll end up watching us sometime.

    ABC is owned by Disney. I don’t plan on chewing on it. I plan on boycotting it, their advertisers, and their products. What matters is the bottom line, and the bottom line here is that I have extreme Obama fatigue. I can’t get a break from this guy and I sure as heck don’t want him leading the charge for health care reform. He can’t get a stimulus package together for 787 billion (or whatever ginormous amount)and we are all hurting for it. Why do I want this man meddling in my health care?

    I have been calling ABC News at: (212) 456-7777. They will tell you that you have to leave a message with the recording thing, just tell them to connect you with the office of ABC News Senior Vice President Kerry Smith, they will. You might get an answering machine or you might get a person. BE SURE AND TELL THEM THAT YOU AND MILLIONS OF OTHERS WILL BE TUNING OUT!

    ABC reporters refrained from then reporting studies showing we have one of the least efficient systems.

    lgm, links please. I would like you to prove what the reporters did not do. Then I would like to see the links showing that our system is one of the least efficient. The AMA booed BHO, I think I would be more interested in what experts have to say, least of all you or these reporters who have to do it with a straight face…snicker. I couldn’t even write that one with a straight face.

    Love this line:

    Indeed, we’ve already had many critics of the President’s health care proposals on the air – and that’s before a real plan has even been put before the country.

    That is, we broadcasted criticism of the President’s proposals – but we won’t broadcast criticism of a real plan. Ie. we allowed untargeted criticism of a proposal but will not allow targeted criticism based on aplan put forward.

    I love Democrats.

    They already know what is good for me and the country.

    Cheap mortgage, lower taxes (by $13 a week), Cheap-clean green energy for my home and car, saving jobs everywhere (UAW, AIG, Teachers,…), stimulating everybody (GM, Banks, local governments,…).
    Soon the whole sky will turn into a giant pancake and all the rivers and lakes will be filled with real maple syrup. I will never go to bed hungry.

    Ahhh, the paradise!

    Folks, Please, don’t wake me up!!!!!!!
