I cannot believe all of these arguments being posted. Our media, which is supposedly biased and to get at the root of these issues, is being taken over to serve a governmental agenda. This is not really shocking, since it has been going on for such a long time. The media is set-up to report the facts, on both sides. The fact that ABC is not allowing opposing views is an outrage. End of story.

The republican position is clear: they like things the way they are. And any idea of introducing a public option will by met by an army of republican talking heads telling the lie that this is a government takeover rather then the competition with the private market that it is.

I’ve come to believe that the media have squarely taken on the role of Blanche Maxwell

Maybe this is part of the plot to overexpose the “WON”. I am not the only one lately to mention that I am sick and tired of seeing him EVERY FRICKIN’ DAY bloviating on every subject under the sun.

Just like Kenya in the old (1987) days:” His Excellency Daniel Arap Moi today…” the entire front page. The news (if they dared to print any) was on the back pages.

“We own you, get over it.”

LMFAOROFL … What a typical Leftist’s idea of an ‘open-minded discussion’. From Obama all the way down to lick-spittle little Joe … ‘We won, now STFU’. Not even worth my time to explain the complete and utter hypocrisy of that mentality. Have a nice day

Hey Michael S,I,ve tried discussing things with conservatives, they never give an inch,their ideology won,t let them.Michael R tries and then you people get all huffy and personal. My instincts tell me conservatives can,t accept that Obama won. As long as that persists conservatives will continue to make up fake controverseys,it must make being in the political wilderness a little easier. Obama is stomping his opposition, he’s way smarter than his foes and will probably stomp his opponent in 2012. So my advice is, you better get used to him as president,your yelling at clouds will only sink the gop further than it already is. We own you, get over it.

So you dug and dug and dug, Michael, and the closest analogy you could draw between an ostensibly objective network broadcasting its signature news programs from the White House to push an Administration’s pet issue was with…right-wing talk radio entertainers who admit they have a POV broadcasting from the White House. If Obama had invited left-wing newspaper columnists (but I repeat myself)rather than ABC your example would be valid. As it is, your analogy is beyond pathetic. You are in full and ineffectual spin mode now and not even worth the waste of my time.

And to answer a question you originally posed, Rick: I’m afraid the only way ABC “reporters” will leave is if, like Linda Douglass, they have an undisguised job waiting for them with this Administration.

The best part of all of this is that, even with ObamaCare, there will be 36 million Americans without health insurance.

This is failure with a big price tag.

@ Michael R.

How bout you post the rest of the article from USA Today there or at least give it as your source? Notice you convienently left out the part where they mention that THIRTY-EIGHT talk shows were invited to include moderate and liberal hosts. The event was not limited to just one outlet with any opposing views being specifically and intentionally forbidden. Yeah that’s some real transparency and bi-partisanship in action there. More imporantly, check out the leftie blogs about the event and they were all screaming bloody murder. But of course that was the evil Boooosh, so of course it was wrong and bad for him to do this type of thing. Now of course, the all-knowing and benevolent Doh’bambi is in charge so it’s all good and ok. I would suggest you pull your head out and replace it with your usual hypocrisy, but I know that will never happen.
