Socializing the Marketplace of Ideas
Despite the magnitude of the issue, despite the variance in the viewpoints Obama, the GOP and even some Blue Dog Democrats, despite the media's pro-Obama bias -- conceded by fellow Democrats and studies and media bigwigs -- ABC News simply insists that it has the capacity to be fair. And it will demonstrate its fairness by . . . shutting out any voice but Obama's. Yeah, that makes sense.
Just wondering: What would be so bad with giving some time to opposing views, as well as to Obama? What is ABC so afraid of -- isn't the news supposed to be about informing the public? Or is it about pushing Obama's agenda?
No wonder the public trust in media is declining. Americans recognize a rigged game when they see one.
