Link to ABC This Week if you want to let them know how you feel about their hour long ad for Clinton
This is the link to ABC News This Week with George Stephanopolis. It will take you to the page where you can give your comment. If you think that giving Hillary an hour long town hall meeting on the show this Sunday in which she is asked questions by supporters is a fair use of news time...or if you think it's like giving an hour of free advertising, let them hear from you:

1. Obama is afraid to debate her, won't go on interviews anymore, hides from the press
Nobody seems to be able to get Obama to go on the networks, what do you want?

15. Watch something other than Fox News. Obamas are all over the airways...
...Also, pushing for a "debate" is the sign of the desperate loser. Hillary cannot get her "supporters" to fund her campaign, so must try to get some energy into it by these freebe gigs.

After 21 debates, I don't want to see any more of her. In fact, I don't want to see any more of her, period.

23. You know a townhall is not the same as a debate, right?

2. Hey, ABC has no shame. The entire nation was disgusted at George S. "hit job" on Obama
which was choreographed expertly DOWN TO the "perfect lighting" for cameos of Princess Chelsea, Wes Clark and Fast Eddy Rendel.

Anyone who could not see that George S. is NOT a journalist, but instead, an a** kissing Clinton surrogate, then there's no help for you - you support the Bush/Clinton Presidential Monarch turnstile. Now that's just SAD. :(

FUCK ABC! :nuke:

6. That comment alone shows just how wrong it is. Neither side should be "thanking" the MEDIA.
Neither Obama supporters nor Clinton supporters. And certainly NO DEMOCRAT should ever thank the media for coverage of a candidate. You've shown your true colors.

5. Isn't BO going to be on Meet the Press for an hour Sunday?
Is your point that only your candidate should have air time?

another example of Obama-fan hypocriticism.

8. But MTP is not hosting a town hall for him
Last time Hillary wanted to do a town hall on TV she had to pay for it on the Hallmark channel. How come she gets to do this one for free?

12. People are already talking about the hard questions he will get on MTP. That's completely different
than an hour long televised town hall meeting where the questions come from her supporters...at least it seems different to me. I have been watching MSNBC today and they are talking about how directly Tim Russert is going to go after Obama on Jeremiah Wright and Ayers and other issues. That's not what I expect that will be the result at Hillary's town hall...which someone correctly stated she had to pay to have aired on the Hallmark Channel and is getting for free now.

Hillary supporters, I understand that Obama bias plays a role in my discomfort with this, but I guarantee you that you would be screaming if the shoe was on the other foot.

9. It depends on how it's structured
If she has control over the questions the way she does at her own town halls, that's a free ad. But if the networks pick the questions and she does not know them in advance, and if Obama was offered the same opportunity, then it's okay at least in theory. But I'd feel more comfortable if someone other than Stephanopolous picked the questions.

It seems to me that if ABC News wants to retain any credibility, they have to yank Stephanopoulos from hosting a Clinton town hall event. The pro-Clinton bias is getting ridiculous.
