@Debra Law,
First Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the conservative movement as it stands today, and then he's demoted to a shameless mouthpiece. I wish you guys would make up your minds on just what variety of monster he is.
I watch FOX regularly (What a surprise right?) and I don't recall their devoting the sort of time to one of Bush's policy initiatives the way ABC is devoting to Obama's healthcare plan. Maybe you know of one?
Some of you folks are so caught up in a tit for tat battle that you seem to be missing the point.
Obviously ABC has the right to air just about any programming they desire, and certainly that would include an infomercial for Obama's healthcare plan, but if you detest FOX for being a "
shameless propaganda mouthpiece of the extreme right republican/conservative movement," I wonder why it doesn't concern you that ABC may be following suit and becoming a mouthpiece for the left?
Is it really as simple as you're supporting the policy they're hawking?
ABC promises to air both sides of the issue, but if that means only allowing questions/comments, during the Town Hall segment, from average Joes who oppose the plan, I'll have to consider them shameless.
Again, allowing Republican politicians the opportunity to criticize the plan is not required, merely presenting all sides of the issue in roughly equal detail and seriousness.
They're not required to do even that...unless of course they want to continue to consider themselves a News organization with journalistic integrity.
Arguing about FOX, Limbaugh et al is irrelevant. They are not part of this broadcast, and even if we accept FOX is a media whore for the Right, (which I do not) are you suggesting the Left deserves their own prostitute?
