Goverment control of the media

[SteamWake]

Wow this seems awfully familiar. Pretty sure Ive seen this before.

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!

Now Im pretty sure this is just a one night thing and drudge with its usual hype is trying to convince you otherwise. Still its a dangerous precident.

Wasent there a firestorm of contriversy of just such a thing in WW2 when Churchills cabinet drafted the media 'giants' in an attempt to gain control?

There is NO liberal bias in the media.









Larry King said so.

I'm getting a shiver up my leg at just the thought of Obama News 24/7...direct from the Oval Orifice

It is a very disturbing thing when the press abandons its impartiality.

When those in the press fail to live up to there First Amendement ethical responsibility what is left to us?

Whats to abandon? As if they werent already in the tank.

This will be nothing more than a glossy 'music video' if you will, to jam nationalized health care down our throats.

The sad thing is it will probably 'convince' alot of sheep.... er people that yes YES ! this is what we need to do.

Figures will be tossed out like the 40 million un-insured americans, never mind the fact that a large portion of those 'americans' are actually illegal aliens and people under the age of 20 to whom health care is not really an issue.

Then theres the small matter of how to pay for it.

You will of course be offered a choice. The problem is that when the goverment gets involved your 'personal' health care costs will skyrocket and taxed on top of that. Who the hell is going to opt for something that will cost them that?

But the real kicker is that it will be hours worth of "Look at me Im great Im going to save you !" with absolutly no dissenting voices.

SW has a point, it would seem any voice of opposition has been denied any coverage from ABC(Namely the RNC). ABC emphatically state it got upset because they (ABC) cover all sides of the story. Why then is the RNC denied coverage?

It seems to me this will be another 20 minute infomercial.
