ABC — Obama's Whore

The ABC broadcasting network has abandoned any sort of journalistic ethics or integrity and has prostituted itself in the service of its favored party and president. In doing so, and refusing even paid advertisements expressing opposing views, it has violated the meaning and intent of the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Elections Commission. At the very least, it has made a corporate contribution to Obama's permanent campaign.

Mrs Critter and I are shareholders in The Walt Disney Company, who own ABC. We sent a message to Disney's investor relations office saying

I do not understand how turning away large paying customers is in the best interests of shareholders. The Obama infomercial tonight (June 24) is in no one's interest. Not the taxpayers, the health users, not Disney Corporate interests ("At The Walt Disney Company, we believe that being a good corporate citizen is not just the right thing to do; it also benefits our guests, our employees and our businesses.") and CERTAINLY NOT Disney shareholders. You are there to run a business not to collect big salaries while giving away the stockholders' store. We have supported the Corporate Board but not any more. We will vote against every Corporate member and issue until ALL current board members are gone. ABC is not presenting unbiased facts, and it is not earning a profit for shareholders. We are not watching it and we will work against this universal health plan. ABC has no business presenting only one biased side of this issue.

Yes, we will work against this plan because of ABC's dishonesty and duplicity. And we will vote against every current Disney and ABC director, on whatever board they serve, for as long as it takes.

Disney, for its part, wants to pretend it has nothing to do with ABC. Its answer to the above message was

Disney cannot avoid responsibility for the broadcast network it owns and controls. And ABC cannot avoid responsibility for pandering to Obama in violation of its responsibilities to journalism and to the American people.
