ABC News Sells Out (Buys In?)

On Wednesday ABC News will move its entire news operation into the White House for the day and will devote its entire news schedule to the Obama administration's trillion-dollar plan to nationalize U.S. health care. No opposition views will be aired and ABC will accept no paid advertising from opposing viewpoints.

"As much of the U.S. private sector, including health care providers, resists government takeovers, what a sorry sight to see ABC News leap forward to make itself a propaganda arm of the government."
And this:

"It all amounts to a sad corruption of American journalism. Once upon a time, people would go into journalism to expose the seamy underbelly of American politics. Today, ABC News, in its abject submission to the Obama administration on health care, has decided to become the seamy underbelly."

Personal note to Americans from this Canadian: When it comes to socialized medicine, be careful what you wish for.
