The gentleman from the CHRC that said that”freedom of speach is an American idea” said it before President Obama got elected.Americans have freedom of speach to desicrate items like flags,but not to utter words of opposition.Welcome to change my American friends.
I wonder, is it time to amend the acronym to SRM? I don’t know about others, but I think I’m in agreement with babalu: “MSM” really isn’t really an accurate meme any longer.
Heh. One too many “really”s. 😮
ok kids, i will say it again. how do you spell stupid? msm? duh.
spike the day the idiot from the hrc tells me that i can’t say what the hell i want is the day someone will have to kill me. i fight back.
The only thing that surprises me about this is that it is ABC,one would think NBC would have been given the honour. The much touted transparency is a vacant lie.
The sooner the MSM is gone the better.
Its all double-plus-good.
Still, I can’t see how this will help their viewing numbers…
I always thought I had become a complete cynic regarding the MSM over the last few years, but the recent weeks have convinced me I was actually naive and trusting. They keep surprising me, they just keep sinking lower. Is there nobody in these organizations that stops to wonder if puffing for a policitian – any politician – is unprofessional and pathetic?
Why is Obama still campaigning?
An even more pertinent question: when are “Lost” and “Flash Forward” going to be on? I can’t really think of any other reason why to watch ABC.
CNN must be frothing at thier liberal mouths.
CBCpravda is likely looking for a soundstage at Stornaway waiting for a pronouncement from on high from Iggy.
ABC just earned a “lock out” on the satellite dish.
Our boy asked “why?”
How does one explain PRAVDA and TASS to a nine year old boy when he wasn’t alive to experience their “heyday”?
Ummmm.
To clarify.
How does one explain PRAVDA and TASS to a nine year old and keep the language clean?
Ok this is amazing, the White House is not the venue for this debate. Just the location alone will work to create a bias, it is the Office of the President after all. All Networks should be present and no “Specials” should be aired during the coverage.
This is shameful propaganda mongering at its worst. Obama is degrading the prestige of the President with his Media Whore like attitude and his central planning methodology is evident in his pulling into the Whitehouse all the bureaucracy via the Czars and now the control of the media.
Message Control and home court advantage is what he understands, but the American People will see through this, and soon, they are getting the picture clearer everyday.
The way I see it, ABC will be in receivership pretty soon, possibly even this year, and this is their best shot at getting a nice fat bailout.
Good luck with that, boys. Cupboard is bare, baby.
Incidentally, if Barry gets his Obamacare rammed through I foresee a large influx of Canadian trained doctors fleeing back home to Canada from the USA. To get away from the wage cuts and tax hikes.
Imagine fleeing to Canada to escape higher taxes, eh?
Wow. It’s amazing what happens to the “watchdog” — the press — when a nation falls asleep.
“YOU WILL REMIND THESE PEOPLE WHY THEY NEED US!!!!!”
A quote from the movie “V” that seems particularily relevant with ABC’s actions.
Illiquid Assetts: “…the American People will see through this, and soon, they are getting the picture clearer everyday”.
I’m not so sure about that, Illiquid. The handwriting has been on the wall for quite a while now, and those who can read it have already done so. The rest think it’s just so cool to have a hip black president, especially one who assures them that they are entitled to things they can’t afford on their own. This is going to get much, much worse before it gets better… if, indeed, it ever improves.
Down here in New Mexico I have a 28 year old stepdaughter living in the house. She thinks of herself as well-informed and a “news junkie” yet all the news she gets is from MSNBC, Bill Maher, Colbert and Stewart. I’ve basically given up trying to have a rational discussion with her as all I get are the usual tag lines with no listening to any response. Last year she wrote an essay for school about Bush’s rampant trampling of the constitution yada yada yada yet she has no issue with all the crap Obama is doing…it’s pretty sad.
Looks like the Americans are getting what Canadians have had to put up with for decades. The cbc has been the official voice of the liberals since the 60’s. During that time the liberals have run the federal gov’t about 3/4 of time. When guys like slap head mansbridge are dining at 24 Sussex with the prime minister(chretien) you have to wonder who is calling the shots?
This is one of those occasions that demands oversight by the FCC… The recording of “ALL” Production communications (normally done,but not well known) should be turned over to an independent agency…. or to the FBI (if they don’t have thier own copy) This would include the pre-show NYC coordination Tapes (all Intercom IFB/Phone)
This type of coverage can feed the conspiracy theory that is very very bad for America. It does not bode well for Health Care or the economy!
This is dumb shit by idiots. Don’t stike a match!
What a Mickey Mouse thing to do. No doubt Goofy will be blamed for everything that goes wrong under the new health care program when the dust settles.
MSM is an attention whore.
correction, just a tarted up syphlitic whore ready to sell to the highest bidder. note how quickly they changed sides post dubya era.
they ALL do it.

“Lost” has wrapped for this season. No new episodes till the fall.
But I agree with you – the US network shows I tend to watch the most are from Fox, with the exceptions of the Law & Order shows on NBC. “Lost” is the only thing on ABC I ever see, and I really can’t think of a show that I regularly watch on CBS; I used to watch bits of “60 Minutes”, but I found that I had to go lie down and pacify myself with cool thoughts afterward, so I stopped.
When a “free” press ceases to be free and independent – the rest of the pillars of a free and democratic society erode and wash away. This is truly a sad spectacle.
On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care — a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!
I don’t think the term Whores is misplaced here?
Did,t think so.
They have forsaken every tenet of this now bogus job of propaganda cloaked as news & entertainment.
The whole concept of representative democracy does not work absent a free press. This is where we are now. Obama can kvetch about Fox News, but the major networks have ten times the audience… each.
This is no different that utter lack of regulation of financial markets. Obama has committed an offense in firing the Inspector General of Americorps that would have gotten Bush impeached, had he done it, and rightly so. No press coverage in the networks to speak of.
Obama has scores of millions of dollars in untraceable campaign donations leftover from the last election. Who cares? Nobody.
It is worse than I could have imagined.
ABC just made the Democratic party ownership of ABC official, probably the most honestry in broadcasting we’ve seen from this alphabet media shark in 4 decades.
Here’s a must see on Obama’s incestuous relations with the MSM: http://howobamagotelected.com/
old white guy: you won’t be fighting alone.
How ironic and sad that in Iran, the youth is rebelling again’st the old establishment for more freedom. And soon in the US, the older crowd will rise again’st socialist tyranny currently worshipped and promoted by the younger generations.
It’s not the kids fault though…They have been brainwashed for decades by socks and sandles marxists in the education system and in part, the fault is on the parents for letting this happen.
Bottom line is that since the 60’s, the western world has been on this massive “party” where irresponsability and apathy reigneed supreme. Most all generations enjoyed the ride until now. The old and wiser are waking up…The younger pups need their noses to be rubbed in it still.
A huge wake up call required.
Dr. Goebbels would be so proud…
