ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE
WHITE HOUSE

What a pitifully short memory you have. The Bush Administration literally
delivered video propaganda directly to various national and regional news
stations, which then aired the material without disclosing that it had
come from the White House:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,151871,00.html

In fact, the White House was literally paying Armstrong Williams and
scores of other pundits to go on the air and spout Administration
propaganda (primarily about the wars and No Child Left Behind)... without
disclosing that they were government-paid shills:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-01-06-williams-whitehous...http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Pentagon_military_analyst_...

I'm sure you were just as outraged then. Yeah, right.

Armstrong Williams =

In addition,
according to an ABC News report, GOOD MORNING AMERICA, WORLD NEWS,
NIGHTLINE and ABC?s web news ?will all feature special programming on
the president?s health care agenda.? This does not include the
promotion, over the next 9 days, the president?s health care agenda
will receive on ABC News programming.


-If that is the
case, this primetime infomercial should be paid for out of the DNC
coffers.


They are just asking that they pay ABC like Williams was.It was a
given that Armsrtong Williams was a biased host of a radio program.ABC
is suppose to be an objective news agency.Armsrtrong Williams was on a
piddly assed radio network,ABC has many vehicles to promote the
Presidents health care agenda.

Obama was the MSM's choice in the last election.
No small wonder that they are so eager to support their choice.

And now for other news.

Seeking Answers on IG Firing, Sen. Grassley Asks About Possible Role
of First Lady's Office
June 15, 2009 10:18 AM

In an email and fax sent late Friday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa,
demanded that Alan D. Solomont, the chairman of the Corporation for
National and Community Service, provide "any and all records, email,
memoranda, documents, communications, or other information, whether in
draft or final form" related to President Obama's firing of CNCS
Inspector General Gerald Walpin.

Walpin had investigated Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson's community
service organization, St. HOPE Academy, which confessed to misusing
AmeriCORPS grants. In April of this year, St. HOPE Academy agreed to
pay a $423,836.50 settlement -- $72,836.50 of which would be paid
personally by Mayor Johnson.

"For reasons that I do not yet understand, the OIG was excluded from
this proceeding and the settlement lifting the suspension, was done in
complete disregard of the OIG?s findings, as well as the previous
determination of wrong doing identified in the Notice of Suspension,"
Grassley wrote. "Perhaps the settlement agreement was reached without
any input from the OIG, because less than half of what was misused by
the Corporation grantees is being returned to the taxpayer and the OIG
would not have agreed to this arrangement. In fact, an argument can
be made that not even half of the misused funds is being returned,
because the settlement does not require that payment in full be made.
Rather the settlement places the grantees on a type of payment plan
that will occur over a decade; to date less than 10% of the misused
money has been recovered."

During the course of his investigation, Walpin clashed with the US
Attorney's office; eventually Acting US Attorney Lawrence Brown,
complaining that Walpin acted "as the investigator, advocate, judge,
jury and town crier" in his investigation, wrote to the chair of the
Integrity Committee for the Counsel of the Inspectors General on
Integrity and Efficiency "to express my Office's concerns about the
conduct" of Walpin.
