Why don't the OTHER networks call ABC on the carpet for their lies?
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 08:52 PM by Horse with no Name
I mean seriously...if I were the head of either CBS or NBC...every chance I got, I would run promos stating "Watch (name network) on Monday night if you want to avoid the lies"...or something similar.
I mean, how perfect is it that ABC is setting themselves as liars and the other networks aren't taking advantage of it? In fact, some of the pundits on other channels are PROMOTING this show.
When else in history has this happened?
Makes you wonder if this isn't a joint effort....

Edited to add:
Maybe we could start emailing the other networks asking them WHY they are silent?

5. MSNBC and CNN have been covering the story a lot.
They've made it known that the movie is full of fiction passing as fact. Not that it will really have any effect though.

6. This is the new Hollywood blacklist by the neocons ABC is the
...weakest of the three broadcast networks and the right wing wants to control all public airways. They got PBS three years ago, they are now forcing ABC and Disney to their kneews and before Bush leaves office in Jan 2009, they will have CBS and NBC

9. They've been telling the same lies; will be telling the same lies.
It's all one company, and why would factions within a compoany attack each other?

11. BECAUSE....
Unless your watching LINK TV or Free Speech television.... the MEDIA do all belong to the same club......the richest 1% of people in the country and the government who is in power now belongs to them.
