ABC News Teams Up With Obama White House to Present President's Health Care Plan

You mean like Fox did HERE?

Wow! I mean there's VIDEO and EVERYTHING of them doing it!

That's comparable to a fluff piece like the recent Inside the White House. It's nothing newsworthy and completely human interest/entertaining just as they toured the white house with Obama and his family.

It's not a special on national policy.
 
I guess if Obama says its ok to whine, the true believers will follow in tow. :lol:

When did Obama say it's OK to whine?

And why is it BAD that ABC is doing the same thing Faux Noise did without a word of complaint from the wingnuttery? Hm?

Oh, right. And allowing the conservative talk show world to set up on the White House grounds with special access to everyone... THAT was OK because it was BOOSH and BAD because it's OBAMA now.

You cats keep forgetting something -- you LOST the election.

I swear, you guys if you didn't have something to piss and moan about you'd friggin' EXPLODE!

Because it's not the same thing. The same thing would be an autobiographical piece, or the tour of the white house, both of which were done and fine.

This is a special on current national healthcare policy. Quite different.
 
It does not read so much as a whine as a comment. Would have to see the whole interview to say for sure, and that is not going to happen right now.




I think there is a link to the video. Come now, it did not come off as very presidential no more than bush's "shame on me" comments... :lol:

"Shame on me" comment?

Can't watch video, double episode of Friends about to start. I cannot believe I never discovered that show until a couple months ago...

When did FOX news go to the bush whitehouse and did a propagada piece for one of his policies? Please quote and link.




* this is a common phrase, in no way was it meant to infer you were of primate nature.

Did you hear me complaining when they did the Inside the White House special? No! Reason? It was fluff, fluff that has been done with other presidents. The type of human interest fluff you expect.

Not a special on policy. Discussions on policy shouldn't come in the form of a fluff piece special. They should come in the form of state of the union addresses, press briefings, etc. They shouldn't come in neat little specials with bells and whistles with select folks invited. Doing that with policy discussions makes it almost inevitable that you're going to end up with a propaganda bit.

Have you already SEEN it? Then how do you know it's FLUFF?

Who should ABC talk to, my dear? McCain?

Oh, that's right. He's not the president. Obama is.

Maybe some nice Republicans -- oh, wait... no... they're the minority.

Well, maybe they could talk to the people who are SETTING the policy...

That would be OBAMA and DEMOCRATS.

See? It's what HAPPENS when you win elections!

It makes me laugh, kinda like you.

You remind me of Chandler.

This is funny on levels I'm sure you don't understand. But anywho say the guy I voted for did lose - so what? You don't suddenly sit down and shut the hell up because your candidate lost.

You need to learn some respect. :mrgreen:

Hey, piss and moan away! The media will listen to you and give you air time, even though the majority of voters have no use for you.

That was just getting even for you all and the Clinton administration.
