Effing-Amazing! Effing-Unbelievable!

Drudge reports: ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE

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.

Michell Malkin writes:

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.

From the Drudge story comes this statement, part of a complaint by Ken McKay, the RNC chief of staff, to the head of ABC News:

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.

Looks like NBC just got some competition to be Obama’s network booty call of choice.

I don’t know what else there is to say about this (I’m sure Ace will have some thoughts). It’s not like we don’t know the networks are in the bag for Obama, they have been for over a year. It is hardly surprising that ABC is simply trying to get in on Brian Williams’ sloppy seconds.

People are dying in Iran in search of their freedom and we’re laying down ours like it’s nothing.

Boycott ABC and its advertisers. Screw these guys!

[Update: Bookworm also is calling for an ABC News / ABC / Disney (why didn't I think of that one?) boycott -- the discussion over there is getting pretty hot and heavy, too! Way to go!]
