Media Bias AGAIN: ABC & NBC Networks Refuse to Air Anti-ObamaCare Ad (video added)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on September 1, 2009
Current Affairs Question: If asked which major networks have refused to air an anti-ObamaCare ad, which two would pop immediately into your head first as being the most left-wing, biased, and “still blindly in love with the hopenchange president” networks?
If your answer was “ABC and NBC,” you’d be absolutely right. Good job… you’ve been paying attention these many months.
Yeppers, more media bias on ObamaCare.
Dick Morris and Greta Van Susteren discuss, in the video below, ObamaCare and why the ABC and NBC networks have refused to run a new League of American Voters anti-Obama ad. Their discussion also focuses on how the new Democrat health care bill, which Greta criticizes as an incomprehensible mess of about 1,500 disjointed pages, will penalize senior citizens by a new shift in the rationing of health care and huge cuts in Medicare.
CBS has agreed to run the ad and FOX is under negotiation about it. No word that I’ve heard on CNN.
No one should be surprised that the two networks that are deepest in the tank with the White House have refused to air the ad. They also seem to be consistently the lowest in ratings, although CNN and CBS aren’t doing all that well, either.
NBC has just recently backpedaled on its initial refusal, saying it will consider running it. Gee, thanks, NBC… your in-the-crapper viewer numbers didn’t have anything to do with your sudden change of heart? No one’s forgotten how your leftist news goons, led by Contessa Brewer, deliberately edited footage at a Phoenix ObamaCare protest a few weeks ago to make it appear that white racists were brandishing firearms (perfectly legal in Arizona), but that the sole man in the news story carrying guns was African-American (cropping out his head and not showing his hands to conceal his skin color… clever!).
ABC claims it doesn’t run ads that are partisan. But, devoting an hour-long “ObamaCare Love-fest Show” back in June, without any debate or opposing view on socialized health care, was supposedly non-partisan and fairly balanced.
Not.
The topper is that it’s just peachy keen this past weekend for a grandchild of Sen. Kennedy’s to ask mourners to pray for the passage of ObamaCare. During the funeral. In the church.
In a nutshell: Church funerals are acceptable venues for children to endorse ObamaCare and to ask God to pass the bill. Television is not an acceptable venue to offer critical appraisal of ObamaCare.
We should take a “Green Czar Van Jones” approach to this: boycott ABC’s and NBC’s sponsors until the statist knuckleheads who schedule commercials realize that more than half the country don’t want ObamaCare.
