ABC handing over to the White House?Follow

Hey Debalic, did ABC ever run a special report from inside the White House during Dubya's presidency?

I have no idea.

I think the ignorance of the political system is characteristic of stupid people in general rather then having anything to do with party affiliation.

Hehe... for being the "most informed voters" they could find, I knew the answer to every one of those questions. Hell, I could even go the bonus round and say that Obama didn't claim that his "policies would bankrupt the coal industry" but rather said that a power company attempting to build a new coal-fired plant using old technology under new emission standards would bankrupt itself through fines & fees. However, the point was to say that new technologies and development would make updated plants fesible.

Gee, I guess it's too bad I wasn't questioned for that video, huh? Not that I'd have made it to press, obviously.

The ironic thing is that you watched a video full of cherry-picked people and edited statements and thought "Wow, this is really teaching me a lot about media manipulation!"

I never said my intellect was superior, I said that the video was obviously selectively edited and cherry-picked to give a false impression. One that you ate up with great gusto so you could say "Lookit dese folks! LOLOLOL!!!" If I wanted to sell my intellect as superior, I'd have laughed at the video and called them all retards.

Great work missing the point, though.Because it's based off a false premise. ABC isn't "turning over" anything (although it's great that you bought right into that sound bite). By this logic, when some news show pops by the Pitt/Jolie residence and talks to them about starving kids in Africa and what we need to do to help them, they've "turned over their news organization" to Angelina Jolie.

You're going to have to build the "turned over" case better than that before you want me to answer why I'm not jumping at spooky shadows.

Your comparing a celeberity interview to the government being given free airtime by the media to push thru thier view on healthcare reform?

And that same media station is refusing to allow even a paid ad that has a alternative idea

Jophed,

What do you think of the fact that ABC isn't even allowing PAID ads by the GOP stating their own position on this?

I call it state controlled media.

I'm trying to determine the exact definition of "handing over control". You're not giving me one. Give the the actual technicalities here of what makes this "handing over control" but allowing someone else to adovcate without rebuttal is not.ABC says that it doesn't run "issue ads". They also didn't run Obama's real paid infomerical back during the election. What's your point -- ABC needs to make exceptions in their advertising policy for the GOP?

This is hilarious. The same people who cry and scream over some Fairness Doctrine boogeyman are the ones now crying and screaming that the GOP isn't being given what they think is fair airtime

Jophed,



And I'm willing to bet they didn't. How are we going discover the truth of it? I mean it's not like ABC is going to actually tell us anything.

Pubicvirus,



I'll buy what he's selling, but only in three easy payments $19.95 and only if I call within the next 10 minutes.

Wow, ABC's website is terrible. Go to their contact us section and click advertise with us. Completely unstable.

I think that ad section is for online advertising anyway.

You'd be wrong. It's possible to live without a home. Go to any major city. It's a ****** life but I know a good ten or so homeless people by face now, and have known them for 5 years that way. They put up with more **** than you probably ever will, and they survive.

It's not possible to live with untreated cancer, or a limb mangled from getting hit by a bus, or ****, even sometimes the flu.



We have housing projects and food stamps for a reason. It's not the government's responsibility to ensure good quality life, but it absolutely is it's responsibility to ensure the perpetuation of life; a government that stands idly by while people ******* perish due to easily treatable illnesses is just incorrigible. They aren't your taxes and it's not your money anyway. You earn money in this country by stealing it from other people, either by convincing them that they need something that they don't, and then selling it to them, or holding things that they do need hostage from them until you can take their money for it.
