White House rewards NBC anchor, uses ABC for health propaganda special

Just a couple days ago we found out that President Barack Obama is using ABC News to push his health plan to Congress and brainwash the American public into thinking that it is great. ABC News will broadcast LIVE from within the White House walls in not presenting any opposition to the Obama-Kennedy plan. Something that all journalists were taught never to do. But hey, yellow journalism is back.

NBC News and CBS News were already in the bed with Obama and now ABC News wanted to join them, but why stoop to this level in "reporting."

ABC News is claiming that the health care coverage will not be an Obama propaganda infomercial. Speaking of propaganda, NBC News first ran that last month. ABC will also not be allowing opposition advertisements during the special.

Now, as time has gone on to today, NBC News' Tom Brokaw has gained a new job. Just two weeks ago Brokaw interviewed Obama for NBC News. Today he was appointed by Obama to serve on his President's Commission on White House Fellowships. Is this a reward for getting him elected?

The biased news media has never been this bad. They wont report anything bad about the president. They only see Obama and then smile. Where is the objective reporting these days? Oh, I know. Fox News. But, Fox News is ridiculed for being objective, because you can't bash a Democrat president. All I want is a few questions asked, not "how is your bowling going?"

Brokaw is joined by 27 others including General Wesley Clark and Tom Daschle, who have no jobs these days. Clark got his appointment because the Democrats feel sorry for him and Daschle got his job because he evaded taxes and couldn't join Obama's Cabinet.

ABC's Jake Tapper upsets Press Secretary Gibbs

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is supposed to be the best press secretary in history. This is what the Obama administration has said and much of the media. Now, Gibbs has trouble answering questions, especially from ABC's Jake Tapper.

Tapper has asked Gibbs about if the White House is actually transparent and who is telling the truth about jobs, Obama or Caterpillar CEO Jim Owens.

ABC News reporters arrested outside Denver hotel

Since when can't people take pictures in public?! The Democratic National Convention means that there is no more freedoms. Journalists and the rest of the public can't do their jobs, they only can praise the Democrats and the most merciful lord Barack Obama. We must all be in the tank and not question anything.

Below is the ABC News article about the arrests.

ABC Reporter Arrested in Denver Taking Pictures of Senators, Big Donors
Asa Eslocker Was Investigating the Role of Lobbyists and Top Donors at the Convention

DENVER--Police in Denver arrested an ABC News producer today as he and a camera crew were attempting to take pictures on a public sidewalk of Democratic Senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel.

Police on the scene refused to tell ABC lawyers the charges against the producer, Asa Eslocker, who works with the ABC News investigative unit.

A police official later told lawyers for ABC News that Eslocker is being charged with trespass, interference, and failure to follow a lawful order. He also said the arrest followed a signed complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel.

Eslocker was put in handcuffs and loaded in the back of a police van which headed for a nearby police station.

Video taken at the scene shows a man, wearing the uniform of a Boulder County sheriff, ordering Eslocker off the sidewalk in front of the hotel, to the side of the entrance.

The sheriff's officer is seen telling Eslocker the sidewalk is owned by the hotel. Later he is seen pushing Eslocker off the sidewalk into oncoming traffic, forcing him to the other side of the street.

About 15 minutes later, on-duty Denver police arrived and placed Eslocker under arrest after Eslocker asked why he was being ordered away from the front of the hotel. Dozens of pedestrians can be seen walking by the hotel, located in the heart of downtown Denver.

Eslocker and his ABC News colleagues are spending the week investigating the role of corporate lobbyists and wealthy donors at the convention for a series of Money Trail reports on ABC World News with Charles Gibson.
