    This is nearly the same thing I said in the thread from the blogger guy. This will only serve to marginalize ABC.

    I find the notion that "All Americans" should believe as you do to be decidedly un-American.

    Why?

    If there's coercion behind it, then sure.

    It'll be a while before I post the dissertation.

    You can't expect him to comment or take a stand on the issue without posting some specifics. Why don't you post some detailed plans for us to comment on.

    That's a smokescreen and does nothing to add to the discussion. The " Yeah, but Bush..." stuff does not justify ABC News' decision to rally around Obama's plan without presenting the entire story. Obama may well have a great plan up his sleeve, but it should not be delivered from a Kool Aid pitcher.

    I was directly responding to the non-sense about bias among news broadcast. I know you are in love with BUsh and you hate anyone to even utter his name, while he is at your home in bed waiting on you. But I'll continue to do it, just the same. It adds plenty to the discussion about bias among news broadcast network. The sad thing is you can refute the notion, because you know its true.

    To what end? I hated Saddam Hussein and his spermboys, but what's the point in bringing them into a discussion? They are gone, as is W.

    And I'm not a blind Bush lover. My problem was always that he was treated unfairly by the liberal media and by the Democrats for purely political reasons.

    When someone claims Obama made a hurricane turn in a direction it didn't want to go, come see me and we'll talk.

    Whats different now, right wing media and republicans are doing the same to Obama. But he is more middle of the road then you would like to admit, you just want to hammer him on the more liberal agendas.

    The point of bringing into the discussion was the point made by that other guy that somehow Fox was going to be fair and challenge Obama fairly, when thats just not true. Also the notion that every other network is in lockstep with the guy. I mean have you ever seen Lou Dobbs, he hates the guy. What about Joe Scarborough (sp) hes not an Obama fan. Show me one foxnews person who is unbiased and I'll tell you who killed Kennedy.

    It's his thread, amigo. He objects to plans and details not presented here. Then when challenged with the simple question "Why?", he declines to write a "dissertation" on it.

    I can't counter his points unless he actually makes them.

    It is Drudge who claims that ABC is presenting "a glorified infomercial to promote the Democrat agenda". This is the President of The United States addressing the nation. Who says that ABC won't show the other side of the story? Drudge.

    ABC News' senior vice president Kerry Smith responded that the network "will have complete editorial control" of the health care special, slated to air June 24 from the White House. "To suggest otherwise is quite unfair to both our journalists and our audience."

    Here is what FOXnews said:

    Here s what ABC news has said:
