ABC-TV has refused to run this anti-ObamaCare television commercial despite the fact that it’s running on other TV stations across the country. Take a look and we think you’ll agree there’s nothing objectionable about it. Unless, of course, you disagree with what it says.
Of course, this is the same magnanimous television network that turned an entire night of its valuable primetime programming over to the President a few weeks ago so he could hype his socialized medicine scheme.
Turning down a commercial is an especially puzzling decision since network television rating and revenues have slumped substantially. Money be money. Yet ABC declined to take the income it would have earned by running the commercial produced by the League of American Voters.
Where’s that damn Fairness Doctrine you we need it?

Wow! Thanks for all the Retweets! The story has legs. Keep it going.
You've defined ABC well. Here are a few others if you haven't heard them already:
CBS-Central Barack System
PBS-Proletariat Broadcasting System
NBC-National Barack Channel
MSNBC-More of Same National Barack Channel
CNN=Communist News Network
FOX-Fair Objective eXperts
The reaction from the left regarding this story, which i can see on places like the Reddit.com and Digg.com, should awaken anyone left still asleep who values free speech. The left (and I don't mean just the far left) likes the idea of the media only presenting one side. As "nickties" on Reddit so proudly said:
There are countries for people like them, Venezuela for one would be a good fit.
To any of you Marxists out there who back ABC on this, please give us your comment. We believe in free speech here and would like to debate you. I know you're reading. Anyone have the balls out there?
Oh, I get it, if it's "bullshit" then ABC validates its presstitutional urinalism control to save our free speech choices by being our personal editorial cesspool. Impressive!
Absolutely right, OCMadam. It would also be interesting to know how much advertising money is channeled to ABC from unions, pharmaceutical companies and various David Axelrod entities.
It would be interesting to know if money from the obama campaing was filtered to ABC.
