DRUDGE REPORT: ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA 2009®
On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Highlights on the agenda:

ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.

The network plans a primetime special -- 'Prescription for America' -- originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate.

Late Monday night, Republican National Committee Chief of Staff Ken McKay fired off a complaint to the head of ABCNEWS:

Dear Mr. Westin:

As the national debate on health care reform intensifies, I am deeply concerned and disappointed with ABC's astonishing decision to exclude opposing voices on this critical issue on June 24, 2009. Next Wednesday, ABC News will air a primetime health care reform “town hall” at the White House with President Barack Obama. In addition, according to an ABC News report, GOOD MORNING AMERICA, WORLD NEWS, NIGHTLINE and ABC’s web news “will all feature special programming on the president’s health care agenda.” This does not include the promotion, over the next 9 days, the president’s health care agenda will receive on ABC News programming.

Today, the Republican National Committee requested an opportunity to add our Party's views to those of the President's to ensure that all sides of the health care reform debate are presented. Our request was rejected. I believe that the President should have the ability to speak directly to the America people. However, I find it outrageous that ABC would prohibit our Party's opposing thoughts and ideas from this national debate, which affects millions of ABC viewers.

In the absence of opposition, I am concerned this event will become a glorified infomercial to promote the Democrat agenda. If that is the case, this primetime infomercial should be paid for out of the DNC coffers. President Obama does not hold a monopoly on health care reform ideas or on free airtime. The President has stated time and time again that he wants a bipartisan debate. Therefore, the Republican Party should be included in this primetime event, or the DNC should pay for your airtime.

Respectfully,
Ken McKay
Republican National Committee
Chief of Staff

This is outrageous. Once upon a time, it was merely suspected that the mainstream media was biased towards the Left. Nowadays, the MSM is blatant and "in-your-face" about it. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

We are quickly heading towards government-controlled mass media, AKA PROPAGANDA.

Anyone remember a somewhat obscure Austrian many years ago who rose to power with smooth words and eloquent speeches, and accomplished the same thing with the media as he took over Germany? Oh yeah, and he also registered everyone's guns prior to confiscating them.

[Scarecrow]

I seem to recall learning about that guy... even saw some of his museums when I was in germany.. freakin nut job.. now we have our own version of him running our country. firing ceos of non government businesses, trying to take away our means of protecting ourselves. are enough people pissed off enough yet?

For those of you that believe the Bible, as I know many of you do, scripture teaches that many anti-chirsts would come before the day of "The anti-christ". Nero was one, Hitler another and may more. History does repeat itself.

You're right about that!

Obama is not the anti christ. Get real.

We do need Free Universal Health Care for all american's. For Gods sake we are 34 in the world in healthcare. Our insurance company's stood under oath the other day and were asked the question. If your clients pay their premiums will you cover their claims and they said no. So if we commit the crime and get sick the health company's don't have to pay for our bills, they can do whatever they want and jack us around. You will pay more for your premiums now and you might be covered or you can pay less or no more on your taxes and not have to worry about it. Its not socialism its our right and we all deserve it. Even the conservatives in other country's are for it and wouldn't change it and call it one of their great national treasures. What our government needs to do is quit wasting all our tax dollars and start putting it to work for ourselves.

No where in the Constitution does it say you have a right to free health care, free education, or any other free S*it on your neighbors tax dollars... nor does it say anything in the Constitution applies to Illegal Aliens...

Socialism:
A Great Idea...
'Til You Run Out Of Other People's Money.



In the history of the world, UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIALIZED MEDICINE; HAS NEVER WORKED...

There are no free lunches...

The fix for our broken health care system is not Universal Health Care...
Its tort reform, sealing our borders for starters...

+1. Free health care, free this, free that. These left wing Marxists just have no clue. There is no free lunch. What is free for some is paid for out of the pockets of the working middle class. The Usurper does not have a money tree in the back of the White house to pay all you free lunch guys whims and wishes. Hello! The socialist/Marxists in this country should spend less time meditating on the communist manifesto and more time on the Constitution.

I have an aortic aneurism that requires surgical attention in the future. It will run well over $100,000 to fix...Will YOU please pay for it? How about my kids college??? I did'nt think so! Obama Care is a vast failure waiting to happen. We have the best healthcare system in the world. don't screw with what ain't broke.

Obama has doubled the Ntl Debt since his being placed in office. He is running this country into the ground financially.

Put down the cool-aid and drink from the firehose of truth!
