ABC is a tool


ABC news on June 24 is doing a medical care special at the white house. AT the white house. The press is there to question and to investigate the government for the People, not to be used as a launch pad for the president's agenda. This is bad, this is very bad.

"ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: President Obama’s health care push will continue next week with a primetime event at the White House, with ABC’s Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer".

Noticed how it says "Obama's health care PUSH". It is clear that ABC is letting obama use their airwaves and their time to push his agenda. That isn't freedom of press, that is a president in control of the press.

"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."

All these "special programming" will be on the "president's AGENDA". The special edition at night is not the only outlet ABC is giving obama that day. Obama is going to be interviewed on GMA,

"Wednesday morning’s “Good Morning America” will originate from the South Lawn of the White House and will include an exclusive interview with President Obama. He sits down with Diane Sawyer to discuss healthcare and other issues on the nation’s agenda. Wednesday’s program will also feature portions of Robin Roberts’ exclusive interview with First Lady Michelle Obama."

This is insane! How could ABC sell itself out to the government when it is supposed to be watching the government. That is why I propose a boycott of ABC on Wednesday, June 24! this isn't an attack on ABC or an attack on obama or even against the debate of medical care, this is about the idea of freedom of press. We must not let Our press be run by the government.
