First banks were taken over by the government as they failed, then automobile companies. Now it seems the media is being taken over. ABC appears to be the de facto state media of the Obama regime.

Matt Drudge reports: “On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care — a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm. Highlights on the agenda: ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver world news from the Blue Room of the White House. The network plans a primetime special — ‘Prescription for America’ — originating from the East Room, excluding opposing voices on the debate.”

Is this really all that surprising to anyone? The media turned over its programming to Obama during the 2008 election –dutifully ignoring all the detailed complaints about Obama’s dubious citizenship not to mention signs of corrupt dealing with the now-jailed Chicago political hustler, Tony Rezko. The liberal media defected from Hillary Clinton en masse to support Obama. Combine dominance of the media and millions of fraudulently-registered “new voters” by ACORN and you have Black Tuesday, November 4th, 2008.

Now ABC is gleefully pushing government-run health care despite the near banktrupt state of the US economy. Granted, the liberal media networks have been arms of the Democratic party for well over a generation, but now they are dishing out White House propaganda without even the pretense of scrutiny. Apparently the mask is finally off.

Have you noticed, by the way, that Obama’s face seems to be everywhere these days? It’s another ominous similarity to Orwell’s omnipresent Big Brother. Everytime you turn on the TV, there is Obama droning on and on or getting an insane amount of praise for as simple an act as swatting a fly.

One wonders how long the liberal media can keep the Obama cult going in the face of one giant economic failure after another. We’ve had two major car companies go bankrupt. Bank of America is 46 billion dollars in debt. The state of California will go bankrupt this summer without a bail out. Sooner or later reality will have to wake people up.
