ABC: The All Barack Channel
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.

‘studies’?
That’s because
1) it’s not true
and therefore
2) it doesn’t exist.
Cite TO EVIDENCE. Otherwise, I’m calling BS on you…
again…
some more….

The linked font oral sex logo really is bizarre.
Oral….???
So will Charles Gibson be doing a live colonoscopy of the One using his head?
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…):
This is proof that ABC is lying because even they know that only those who lack understanding would watch ABC in the first place.
Wow!
This sounds like an even edgier, newer version of the new Sybil.

Thank you Thank you I’m here every day Please try the veal
Rags – click the Doug Powers link in MM’s post to see his vulgar version of the ABC/hussein network. I really just don’t get why we on the right would see the need to depict things with such vulgarity.
Michelle’s logo says it quite clearly without even a bit of vulgarity. I just really wish the right would leave the vulgar to the left.
getting a tad testy there sporto! IF you think republicans are benefiting from anything reporters do, well, we gotta lake called Optima here in Oklahoma we’ll sell ya.
Uh-oh…
The moonbat Statist organs are turning on the AMA…(a reliably Leftist organization until their rice bowl is threatened)

Interesting, no…???
I was wondering when LGM would show up to defend this blatant takeover of media by the government.
BTW an interview of bush does not equal days of government issued propoganda.
Better a sister in a house of ill repute than a brother in the employ of ABC (or NBC or CBS)
anyone? Bueller?
As I said elsewhere:
ABC — All Barack Channel
NBC – National Barack Channel
CBS – Clearly Barack’s Syncophants
Oh, so I guess there will be a ‘primetime special’ on the opposing view broadcast soon.
Hello? Is this thing on?
CW4, you forgot
PBS–Pusillanimous Barack Suck-ups
FIFY, Kerry.
Again, it’s striking that the usual, so-called “thoughtful” regular lefties on this blog have nothing to say. It is always silence, smart aleck comments, or defense.
Wondering when one of the “reasonable” will weigh in with an honest admission that this move by ABC does nothing if not give credence to conservative claims of media bias in favor of Democrats.
And the 52% of voters who voted for this idiot, along with the millions of brain dead sheeple who didn’t vote at all, will believe everything they are told by the TV once again.
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.
I would boycott ABC but I don’t watch it anyway.
ooooppsss, I hit submit too soon.
I’d boycott the sponsors, but I don’t even know who they are.
Indeed. I used to watch “Pushing Daisies” but I think the series finale was this past Saturday. So nothing on ABC for me.
Well, ABC, NBC (National Barack Channel), what’s the difference? They’re all in the tank for the guy, and have been for two years.
Nothing new here.
Jeez, if only we had voted for McCain. It’s all our fault, just ask Atheling.
If I ever do anything illegal…don’t send me to prison, make me watch Obama on television.
I refuse to watch him anymore. If he was on Fox, I wouldn’t watch. As was noted on a different blog – I would rather watch paint dry than subject myself to one more moment of his obnoxious narcissism.
I use “thoughtful lefty” when someone asks me for an example of an oxymoron.
Perhaps that is why they have nothing to say. They don’t exist.
Let’s see here, if we start to:
Nationalize the Industrial base (check)
Nationalize the Economonic base (check)
Convert to a State-run media (over the top check)
Create a private army that is loyal to the leader (vice constituion) (ACORN checks in the mail)
Declare emergencies where none exist for the sole purpose of obtaining greater power (check, double check, ad infinitum)
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS IS THE US?
As soon as I saw this on Drudge this morning, I hammered out a complaint to ABC through their website and in it I told them I was considering filing a complaint with the FCC. Not that any of it will do any good, but I just can’t sit by quietly and let this nation go away.
And NBC can be National Board of anti-obama Censors!
New Fall line-up for ABC:
I Survived a Government Clinic!
Dancing with the Czars
Better off Red
Extreme Makeover: Economy Edition
Supernannystate
Dexter–you can’t imagine how many would watch the ‘dancing’ one. If what they have now is any indication, people will watch anything.
Um, HOMEBOYS IN OUTER SPACE ran for 21 episodes. People will watch anything.
I’d watch a documentary on wood grubs before I’d watch any of the crap on the major networks these days… except for the shows my wife puts on. Ya gotta make reasonable accomodations.
HOMEBOYS IN OUTER SPACE?????? eeertrrr
How about
‘The Biatch-lerette’
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.
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.
ABC’s response is exactly what I expected from them AND from elections in Iran.
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?
L
At least we are precisely identifying the enemy . . . it’s important to know your enemy.
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!
It would be great if we all could get the word out to support FNC during ABC Shmooze’s obama-ass-kiss-fest on Wednesday night.
From ABC’s reply:
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
Well, that makes it stink even more.
God, I hope their ratings plummet!
Guess it’s time to dust off the old, familiar term whitewashing the news.
Or is that racist in the Obamanation?
Everything is racist.
Gawd, now THE ONE is carping about how Fox doesn’t show him ‘da LOVE he so clearly deserves…

What a poor, poor dear…
ABC – owned by Disney. Something to chew on…
ABC = Any Bailout Checks accepted.
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?
Now THAT’s funny!
saw this posted on another site:
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.
Those with a view differing from the Pres. need not apply.
This means any-one with a differing view.
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!!!!!!!
lgm, you have got to have the IQ of a cherrystone clam.
Just what does “efficient” mean? Unless it means “patients cared for in a timely and effective way”, it means nothing.
You have been alerted to a number of articles spelling out, quite specifically, how long people in Canada and the UK, for instance, have to wait to get access to specialized care and equipment vs the US.
You have also been pointed to articles that compare outcomes for UK patients with certain serious diseases vs. similar patients in the US. If you live in the UK, you are generally out of luck.
Yet you persist in ignoring not just the evidence, but the frackin DATA.
I want you to you go upstairs from your basement digs and ask your mama to straighten you out–preferably by her giving in to a lifetime of forebearance and finally taking a ballpeen hammer to your medulla oblongata.
It would a very appropriate way to reduce your carbon footprint, by not breathing.
Gawd, everyone…
Just please collectively ignore “lgm”. Eventually he/she/it will go away. Mindnumb libs like that get high on reactions.
kapo lgm, you nitwit:
Propagandizing socialist policy is not “warm and fuzzy”; only your brain is.
Well we wouldn’t have the networks kissing ass all the time, would we?
Thanks alot for the socialism, Rogue Cheddar.
You and me both. Is there anyone who still watches that worthless network?
Yeah, yeah blah, blah, blah.
A robust debate — that’s original. That’s what got Iran where it is today. Go on back to Egypt ‘bama.
After reading that response, my BullS-O-Meter just exploded.
Fox should have counter program for this. Have sarah megyn mm mkh john bolton fred thompson and his wife mark levin rush make it a fun but truthful show.
I’m not sure Iran’s crackdown on the media is any worse than this country where a major network (ABC) has become the official propaganda arm of the Obama regime.
Now that’s a good phrase! Gotta use it more.
You’re welcome. Anything else I can do for you? Get you a nice cold bottle of Enfamil? Change your Huggies? Find you your favorite Nuk Nuk?
Bull?
This isn’t a “warm and fuzzy”. This is an Infomercial about Obama’s attampt to jam through spending our money on a multi Trillion dollar Health care giveaway. There is a HUGE difference.
So spare us the BS lgm.
I have been keeping track of the rassmusen presidential polls. Beginning in January, Obama’s spread was +28. It’s now +4. People are waking up. I’ve been viewing other blogs as well, and I’m not quite as pessimistic as I once was. What is really telling is that people’s opinions of this man are the same, regardless of what blogs they “associate” with. A huge number see him in the same light. If the next election is left up to the people, he’s toast. I am sure though, that this chicago thug will do anything he can to stay in office as long as he can. He’ll have to be thrown out and the sooner the better.
If everything was about the economy and not control they would do what would make the most sense, even to a 5th grader. Give every American citizen (I don’t know the acutal figure if you break down population vs stimulus dollars) their portion of the stimulus package. We then could buy the health care we want, send our children to college we want. We could afford to buy the homes we want, where we want. I could go on and on and on.
The reason they don’t do this, is because it’s about keeping us dependant on THEM and who’s running this asylum – that would be congress, Obama and his cronies. Why do people like LGM defend what Obama is doing and not understand this basic concept. What is so hard about this? It’s not about helping anyone – it’s about keeping us down and them in power. It’s about controlling us and our lives.
What I am disapointed in, is that more people didn’t stay focused. Why are we allowing the administration to side track the real issue by throwing out things that don’t address the real issue – what they are doing to us to remain in control. Obama is rushing to gain complete control.

Rogue Cheddar:
Piss off, traitor.
Oh, because I didn’t vote for the weaka$$ed candidate foisted upon us by an out of touch GOP, but instead with clear mind and conscience voted in accordance to what our founding fathers advocated, I’m a traitor? I don’t think so! I submit that your strategery for voting for a lesser communist is what worked for the liberal side. I submit that you are the traitor! Now you piss off, you GOP rumpschwab!
LOL @ cheese maverick
The Kos kids are rabid over this accusation. Why? Because in 2005 Fox News got exclusive access to the White House and the Bush Administration. Yeah, I’m not kidding. They even captured footage for DKosTV that show Brett Baier driving around the ranch with W in Texas shooting the breeze. Somehow this proves that it’s ok to have this one sided health care Obama love fest on ABC. Maybe that’s why some call these morons “moonbats”?
