Wow. Wow. Oh, wow.

“students of history”? Again, only one real response:

ha ha

Of course I know that, this is simply an I scratch your back and then tell you what to broadcast thing.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Is that anything like the Rush tells you what to think and you regurgiate it thing? I mean other than the FACT you have no idea what ABC is going to broadcast. You know other than that reality thing. Since Rush TOLD you it was going to be an infomercial that became YOUR reality, beings you are way too stupid to think for yourself, it did not however become ACTUAL reality. You are stupid John. You are brainwashed. It might do your credibility a world of good, and your credibility cannot get any worse, if you would just STFU till you have some dim idea what you are talkig about OTHER than what Rush told you to think

Hopefully, the internet will make it impossible to have another Cold War. It was based on secrecy and booga-booga, all around. Reagan bringing down the Evil Empire is fiction. I’ll credit him with significant arms reductions, but the Soviets get equal credit for that.

I’ve seen posters on other sites say that Russia is our enemy and always will be. This is ridiculous, and these Reagan/Evil Empire myths are part of what keeps that going. In typical Republican fashion, we defeat the enemy, but the enemy lives on to justify the largest military budget in the world.

Sorry. Had to rant.

So what happens when you are too damn stupid to even know the basics of history?

Ye gods.

There you will find advertisments, a poll about superstars, lots of stuff, but nothing about health care.
If he were dominating and controlling this media outlet, wouldn’t they at least have something besides a trailer about Good Morning America ???

Umm, JohnMoron, don’t look now, but Faux Media is spewing anti Obama everything day in and night out.
There’s plenty of dissenting voices blaring and blathering…

You do realize that ABC is not a state-run media outlet, correct?

You do realize that ABC is not a state-run media outlet, correct? I mean, they call it the American Broadcasting Company, but that doesn’t mean it’s THE American Broadcasting Company. There are several other networks operating in this country, plus multiple cable channels solely dedicated to broadcasting news. All of these are capable of broadcasting opposing views to what ABC is broadcasting on one network.

That’s not a government filter. In fact, it’s not a filter at all.

Good try, though.

JohnM:
Rove said the acces was unprecedented. Are you shifting goal posts? I notice you didn’t tell me what you thought the pupose of the first truly unprecedent Fox access was for. Are you scared of that question?

Access to push an agenda like this is unprecendented and that is what I believe Rove was talking about. Giving access to show the day to day or Can you show me where the Bush whitehouse pushed through an issue with access like this to Fox News? What Obama is doing here is extremely shady.

JohnM, Cry me a f uckin’ river.

Another childish and pittiful post by Zooey.

I really don’t see what you idiots are whining about, other than the fact that you LOVE to whine.

Addressing the nation is different than what is happening here. When a president addresses the nation all networks can pick up the address. Here it is only ABC News given access so Obama can control the message and essentially control the media outlet by giving them this exclusive. If you don’t mind government controlled media, then you certainly are not really a progressive at all. The lack of opposing viewpoint cements the idea that the whitehouse does not want a dialogue to be opened up. If you have no problem watching your news through a government filter, then you will get what you deserve.

Well, I’m not upset. Sorry.

One of the duties of the President is communicating to the public by giving addresses to the nation. There’s no rule that these have to be balanced by opposing views.

I don’t recall any “opposing views” when GW Bush gave his “Get Out of Baghdad” message to Saddam before the Iraq invasion. I don’t recall any “pro-terrorism” commercials when he addressed the nation after September 11th. I don’t recall any “pro-major malfunction” rebuttals when Reagan addressed the nation after the 1986 Challenger explosion.

I really don’t see what you idiots are whining about, other than the fact that you LOVE to whine.

I am not buying your premise JohnM. You maybelieve what you wish but it does not make it truth. The argument was made that the access was unprecedented not anyone’s interpretation of the reasons for the access. That premise has been proven false. Incidentally what do you feel was the pupose of the then unprecedented access given to Fox?

It is unprecedented to give a president such access to push his agenda on something like healthcare. This is an issue where people are very passionate either way and for the whitehouse to do this most certainly would be considered unprecendented. Giving access for interviews and up close looks is much different than what is going on here.
