Rightwing blog complains about ABC interviewing Dems but not Repubs.

[wyldwolf]

On Monday’s "Good Morning America," ABC devoted 38 minutes of air time to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards in a town hall special. This is in addition to the over 26 minutes they provided fellow ‘08 contender Hillary Clinton back in March. That’s a grand total of 64 minutes of publicity for Democratic candidates and zero for Republicans.

GMA must address this fundamental problem: Their 2008 "town hall" segment kicked off nearly four months ago and they have yet to feature a single Republican. Is Mitt Romney not interested? Would Senator John McCain, whose White House bid is low on cash, turn down free air time? If ABC is truly interested in a balanced look at campaign ‘08, the network needs to answer this objection.

Ya know, if only there was a system in place, a law of some kind, that forced ABC to be fair!

1. Okay, fine.

ABC Interviewer: So how would you do things differently than George W. Bush?"

Republican Interviewee: "Lie, lie, equivocation, lie, lie, insult Democrats, lie, lie, equivocation, lie, lie, insane statement, lie, lie, insult Democrats, lie, lie, insult some other country, lie, lie, equivocation."

Viewer: "Haven't we seen this before?"

2. Can you say Fairness Doctrine?

How about hypocrite? Aren't you the same people that's against equal time for both sides?

4. equal time for republicans is censorship!

hey if the wingnuts can claim that presenting both opinions is censorship, so can I

3. Did anyone SEE GMA? I don't watch it, but I have to believe there's

some reason this happened. The LAST THING I've seen in a VERY LONG TIME is any MSN favoring the DEMS!

For the last 6-12 years, I've been disgusted with every interview being a PUB and the MSN excuse was that they controlled Congress and it's SOP to interview Committ Chairs, House & Senate Maj. leaders, and of course SHRUB! It is partly true that the Dems are getting more coverage since they took the Maj. but I REALLY haven't seen slanted 08 coverage!

5. Seeing them complain about this is maddening.

I happen to think the "Fairness" Doctrine is a bad idea, but leave it to the biggest group of hypocrites to slam it and then bitch about lack of equal time. Fucking dicks.

6. Yeah, a real shame that we don't have a Fairness Doctrine.

But we don't. So, I guess the GOP will just have to suffer. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7. ABC knows that the Amer. public doesn't want to hear any freeper lies. nt
