So,now we definitely have NBC, with the GE CEO on Barry's cabinet, and now ABC with their news branch in Barry's pocket. Wonder if Barry's gonna merge all his television networks into one entity for better cost management, or keep them separate for better marketing?

i say commentators are correct in calling mainstream media the "state- run" media.
what comes next and what has been happening since the election is this infatuation with obama by the media. Have you noticed a lack of dissenting opinions on obama's policies? Instead of investigating and finding the truth they take whatever "story" is given to them by the white house and question nothing.
The scary part about this is the average person will never know the whole story but only what the white house wants to them know/perceive. Its an extremely effective way of steering sheep in the direction you want them to go.
In this case obama wants the sheep to accept obamacare as it is being shoved down their throat so what better way then spend a whole week on the state run media abc?

Maybe this is what the digitial conversion is for. Obama does not only want to control the MSN but also the very thoughts in your head. Prepare yourselves for the Obamanation of Desolation.

Get ready folks, this is going to be like watching a Billy Mays infomercial from the news networks trying to pitch you a crappy product that looks great until you buy it.

Charlie, that has bias written all over it and you would allow that to happen with your newscast. You should know better! Shame on you and you are the head news man at ABC. Anchoring from the White House? So I take it Charles Gibson is assuming his role as Joseph Goebbels for the new health agenda? This story is utterly disgusting and defeats the purpose of a free-press.

Now they are wearing their bias on their sleeves, at least before; they didn't throw it out in the open. This isn't journalism, this is pubic relations plain and simple and nothing more. Charlie Gibson thinks of himself as a professional . . . hah! Hypothetically, does anyone think Murrow would do something like this? ABC is a disgrace to journalism and our free-press in America.

Here's something to ponder.

Now that everybody's attention is on the networks and this new health care fixation, what are the diverting our attention from?

What are you talking about. Oxyclean work great and I just couldn't live with out my Zorbeez.

Are you thinking of Ron Popeel? Now that's Junk.

they are always diverting attention away from something.

since their ratings are so bad how much longer until they ask for a bailout?

Can/would other media networks air their concerns over this type of unprecedented media coverage and access from the White House...

...or would that be creating too much hype and interest in a rival network, thereby, effecting their own ratings?

I would assume other veteran "journalists" should be outraged by this, no?
