Boycott ABC.
I will if you will, because this is outrageous.
Drudge:
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!But wait, there's more:
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.
The special edition of “Primetime” will air from the White House on Wednesday, June 24, at 10 pm ET. “Good Morning America,” “World News,” “Nightline,” and ABCNews.com’s “Top Line” will all feature special programming on the president’s health care agenda.From Michelle Malkin:Diane Sawyer will have an exclusive interview with President Obama airing Wednesday on “Good Morning America.”
On June 24, Drudge reports, the network will broadcast from inside the White House to air a propaganda special for Obamacare.NTC News and Memeorandum have more reactions.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.
So ABC has dramatically emerged from the closet (not that we didn't already know they were in thrall to Obama), giving up all pretense of independence, objectivity, and balance. They're pleased and honored to serve as the main propaganda conduit for the Obama health care takeover, offering up four different broadcasts -- Good Morning America, World News Tonight, Primetime, and Nightline -- in obeisance to the Supreme Leader's agenda.
And what's truly beyond belief is ABC's refusal to include opposing points of view.
I don't feel like a valued ABC viewer. Do you?
What do you think are the chances of Charles Gibson assuming his condescending professor persona on this one? Right. Zero.

I'm already boycotting 'em.
It's outrageous; I bet NBC is steamed they didn't get the nod! ;)
LOL
We need a list.
I've looked but haven't found. Don't make me watch these shows. My family will call 911 if I turn GMA on in the morning, but I might have to take one for the team if no one comes up with a list pronto.
NBC already did an "Inside the Obama White House" special, I believe. They wouldn't want to be redundant or anything.
Wish I watched that network so I could boycott them - but my good sense told me to turn it off years ago.
They've been in the tank for Obama since the begining. Now they are just out in the open about it.
Here's a novel idea...Don't watch it! Just make sure it's on for those of us who do want to watch it afterall, you Kim Jung Tea-baggers seem to forget you live in America.
Watch Fox news instead!
Boycott ABC Boycott Disney Channel, ESPN and the Networks, Boycott Lifetime and Its Networks, Boycott Soapnet, A&E, ABC Family Disney's Parks at Disney World and Disneyland as well as the ABC Network Itself.
Its a Huge Enterprise Obama has just Brought into.
@Timothy - We live in America? Is that the America where the Democrats have been calling for a revival of the Fairness Doctrine? Apparently fiarness only applies when ideas are being expressed that they disagree with. But it's always that way with Democrats, isn't it? It's only fair if it supports their agenda. Control of what is expressed in the media is what rulers like Kim Jung Il do, not free democracies.
Re Timothy: So some people actually want to be spoon-fed the government's point of view by a media pretending to ask "tough questions" but excluding opposing points of view? It's time to switch your brain into the "on" position and think critically about this. If ObamaCare is so wonderful why can't we hear the other side except, as you point out, from just one source? And why the big rush? You've got to think about this.
No Longer should they call themselves the AMERICAN Broadcasting Network....rather SBC the SOCIALISTIC BROADCASTING NETWORK. SHAME ON THEM!!!!
You need to start a Facebook group - Boycott ABC (The All Barack Channel). We need to reach more people.
OOPS...there is a boycott ABC group! Great! Join it and invite all of your friends to join.
