Here's The Reason Why ABC DId What They Did In The Debate

[MannyGoldstein]

Because there were zero actual consequences for them when they staged the faux-history "Path to 9/11". No boycotts of their advertisers, or of Disney, or of Apple (Steve Jobs is Disney's largest shareholder), etc.

Why shouldn't they stage another attack on Democrats?

1. Lack of accountability is clearly the problem

and media re-regulation and divestment is the only answer (just as it is in just about every other irresponsible industry, from Wall Street to beef production to pharmaceuticals).

2. Okay, but that only explains how there were no repercussions for their doing it....

but it doesn't explain WHY they did it.

3. They do it because they can...

the 'media' has been bonkers for quite a while now. If they could get away with the Iraq War, they can get away with anything.

5. Why they did it?

The media is owned by big rich Republicans. Why do you think there's so much news that we never see on TV?

Gibson and Stepie had a great opportunity to make some brownie points with the boss by making Democrats look bad.. and they took it.

6. Ah ok. That makes much more sense nt

4. you are so correct K&R

and I read posts here telling us that boycotts don't work and protests "inconvenience people".
