About the "Mickey Mouse" operation - ABC
Edited on Fri Jun-19-09 11:56 PM by underpants
You can see the impetus for this here

Okay so Fox News doesn't like the scoop ABC got. Their numbers indicate that they don't understand scoops.

Let's review ABC's record over the last few years

They have given network news times to John Stossel and have had to formally apologize several times for his clearly biased reporting.

Disney refused to distribute "Fahrenheit 9/11". The Weinstein brothers bought the film and it is the highest grossing documentary off all-time. Eisner was fired shortly thereafter.

ABC aired on national TV a blamefest targeted at President Clinton called "The Path to 9/11" that was so bad they were editing it up to the week before it aired. It was written by Cyrus Nowrasteh who has direct ties to, of all people, Rush Limbaugh and the "conservative film festival" Liberty Film Festival

ABC co-"news" hosts Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos "moderated" one of the most embarrassing examples of a debate ever seen. Literally asking Obama why he didn't wear a US Flag lapel pin.

2. Yeah I notice two things
First on the video I posted Hannity says repeatedly that it is a "paid advertisement" that leaves the obvious omission of how much they were willing to pay- sounds like they lowballed it so they could have this talking point

Second Hannity proposes the ridiculous, ABC should allow a "knowledgeable" person sit next to the President of the United States to act as a counterbalance.... I guess. HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES get over it and move on. Imagine an equal time scenario everytime a POTUS was on TV :silly:
