How can they put ads the promote Obama Care, even run a special from the White House with Obamapropoganda, and refuse to air any debate or advertising that speaks out against it?

did you even read the article? the answer is right there:

"The ABC Television Network has a long-standing policy that we do not sell time for advertising that presents a partisan position on a controversial public issue," spokeswoman Susan Sewell said in a written statement. "Just to be clear, this is a policy for the entire network, not just ABC News."

NBC, meanwhile, said it has not turned down the ad and will reconsider it with some revisions.

"We have not rejected the ad," spokeswoman Liz Fischer told FOXNews.com. "We have communicated with the media agency about some factual claims that require additional substantiation. As always, we are happy to reconsider the ad once these issues are addressed."

sheesh.

Cause they can. Hardly worth the effort to bitch about it. If it was the days of 3 networks and two wire services maybe. Of course, you wouldn't know the difference then.

First off I think people saying that ABC is bias is laughable... I can definitely see why people think that of NBC, but for a conservative to complain about a major network being the least bit bias while they are not shamed at all to be watching Fox News, then they are being a bit hypocritical IMO. I myself watch ABC for the most part, they do a very good job of covering truth to the story without bias and being equally hard on people in interviews.

I'd like to add that while I consider myself "middle of the aisle," I still generally lean right. That being said I still think that both parties are the cancer of this society and that this "ZOMG DON'T READ LEFT PROPAGANDA, instead always read right propaganda" is hilarious.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any threads proving that Obama is, in fact, the AntiChrist.
