Critics Attack ABC News for Refusing to Air Opposing Ads During Obama's Health Care Special
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele accused ABC News and anchor Charles Gibson of making President Obama's case for "nationalized" health care "without any opportunity for opposing views to be aired, as a new study shows ABC offers widely favorable coverage of the president's plan.
Can this bias be any worse.

No debate about the good or bad of the public should be carried out in a public forum with one side gagged.
I wasn't aware that they've done away with equal time laws or the fairness doctrine. I think it still applies ... though how it applies is murky.
It applies during campaigns, one candidate over the other. Does it apply to issues like this?
for the least they could possibly do
thats a good question.. I don't know if it does or not. We should have different view points on this topic and I feel ABC should allow it. It is a pretty big issue for people to only see one side because the general public won't bother to look at the other side of the issue unless its right infront of them(and then maybe).

Are people getting younger around here, or what?
It should come as no surprise to anyone that the media is in bed with Obama. They have been since day one, hell they're the main reason he got elected!
If a Republican ever got to air a program on one of the major networks and blocked any Democratic viewpoints from being aired before, during, and after, every left wing person in the country would be kicking and screaming. If Bush had pulled this stunt Pelosi would have used it to start an impeachment proceeding.
But then again, Bush wasn't the chosen messiah that 'ol Obama is :roll: .

While I won't disagree on what side the media is on, going with the belief that they are the main reason that Obama got elected will ensure that the GOP never makes a comeback. After 8 years of Bush, a bad republican candidate, and McCain's straight talk express getting sidetracked by picking a trainwreck as a VP, the dems could have just about run anyone and won.
While the press does lean left a little, they usually go with the best "story", or just try to be on the winning side (like the Iraq war buildup, the media was HUGE Bush admin cheerleaders). This time around, Obama was going to win, and was the best story, so the media came aboard.

I say let the free market decide...
um...it seems that you're the one crying right now...
I see you're willing to give fox news a free pass as you state If a Republican ever got to air a program on one of the major networks and blocked any Democratic viewpoints from being aired before, during, and after, every left wing person in the country would be kicking and screaming....this occurs daily on your beloved fox news...
MSNBC, CNN, ABC pushes the agenda of a group of people that lie to us and rob us blind.
I don't see where bias even matters.
Murdoch's reach goes far beyond TV into radio, print, film and with the recent purchase of myspace, even into cyberspace.
I think we should all be very careful about who we receive our news from, and we need to do our own independent research to help us form our opinions. We live in an age where everyone has an agenda, and we can't rely on the media outlets to always be unbiased. Whether it's Fox or ABC or anyone else, we have to take in as much as we can, and try to find the truth ourselves, otherwise we are going to get duped.
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
a survey by editor & publisher during Bush's first term showed that while more anchors may be liberal the overwhelming majority of owners and editors were conservative

i can't remember i read it years ago,do a search
they also found in 2000 newspaper publishers favored Bush by 3 to 1 and newspaper editors and publishers combined favored Bush 2 to 1
and in 99 they found the 4 top ranked syndicated columnists in the US leaned right or far right and of the top 14 who appeared in at least 250 dailies 9 were conservative, 3 were liberal and 2 centrist
