ABC REFUSES OPPOSITION ADS DURING WHITE HOUSE SPECIAL
Wed Jun 17 2009 15:15:00 ET
ABC is refusing to air paid ads during its White House health care presentation, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, including a paid-for alternative viewpoint!
The development comes a day after the network denied a request by the Republican National Committee to feature a representative of the party's views during the Obama special.
Conservatives for Patients Rights requested the rates to buy a 60-second spot immediately preceding 'Prescription for America'.
Statement from Rick Scott, chairman of Conservatives for Patients Rights:
"It is unfortunate - and unusual - that ABC is refusing to accept paid advertising that would present an alternative viewpoint for the White House health care event. Health care is an issue that touches every American and all potential pieces of legislation have carried a pricetag in excess of $1 trillion of taxpayers' money. The American people deserve a healthy, robust debate on this issue and ABC's decision - as of now - to exclude even paid advertisements that present an alternative view does a disservice to the public. Our organization is more than willing to purchase ad time on ABC to present an alternative viewpoint and our hope is that ABC will reconsider having such viewpoints be part of this crucial debate for the American people. We were surprised to hear that paid advertisements would not be accepted when we inquired and we would certainly be open to purchasing time if ABC would reconsider."

Seriously.... When did Fox News dedicate an entire day and all their programming to one topic broadcast directly from the White House and host a Town Hall meeting with the President?
Fox this, Fox that.. my god everyone is so busy being on Fox's nuts..
Because Fox News established the baseline, now that other networks are doing it, the Conservatives out there are being hypocritical by complaining about it.
Fox News established the baseline?? Are you SERIOUS??? Fox News is nothing more then a counter to the liberal bias that has been main stream media LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG before Fox ever came around..
CNN= Clinton News Network
Wow....
Fair enough. I apologize. Fox News didn't establish the baseline. ABC did. Back when the other Bush was running, they shut down anything remotely liberal.
So yes you're right.....to an extent.

I still find it amusing that people think of Fox News as conservative
i'd call it attention seeking evangelism - or perhaps more specifically, republican party oriented tv.
far from conservatism.
