State Seduction of the Media

News Item:

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! ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House. The network plans a primetime special -- 'Prescription for America' -- originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate. When challenged about the constitutional violation of a "free press," ABCNEWS Senior Vice President Kerry Smith responded that: "ABCNEWS prides itself on covering all sides of important issues and asking direct questions of all newsmakers -- of all political persuasions -- even when others have taken a more partisan approach and even in the face of criticism from extremes on both ends of the political spectrum. ABCNEWS is looking for the most thoughtful and diverse voices on this issue," (Drudge Report 6/17/09)

The above development ought to cause every lover of freedom to rise up and protest.

Every lover of freedom!

Those who voted for President Obama and those who voted against him.

Those who favor a government health care initiative and those who oppose it.

Those who have never had a political thought in their entire lives and those who eat, sleep and drink politics.

Every lover of freedom should be screaming to ABC and their affiliates ESPN and Disney.

This is a major boundary that is being crossed. When the media begins to openly carry the water for any government agenda a major check on governmental power has been eroded. ABC News has said they will not even allow the mandated oppostion response from the other party.

An independent and free press/media is one of our most important safeguards against the government's ever-encroaching intrusion into our loves.

This is our country. These are our liberties. This is our future we are talking about here!

Wake up America!

Not only will ABC not allow dissenting opinions, they even denied a group from buying air time to present an opposing view point.Since when does a network turn away revenue?
The spiritual ramifications are staggering if a sleeping nation will not fight for the freedoms only God can and has given them
Pray,Pray and Pray some more. Write and or call your elected representatives as well as ABC!
All we need for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing!
Let the Army arise!
