<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm surprised that it took you so long to come up
with such a weak example. Television networks (all of them, not just FOX)
have done abbreviated bio/day in the life pieces with presidents and
administration figures for ages. The bit that's new is for one
network to be anointed the exclusive co-presenter/cheerleader for
administration policy, excluding other points of view that don't mesh with the
awesomeness that is his eminences grand plan. A free two hour infomercial with
no opposing view points and no one to ask even a single pointed or probing
question is unprecedented.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The question that leaps to mind for me is since
when does the president grant exclusive access to only one network on the
condition of it being a beauty piece for the administration. It would be one
thing if BHO were simply going to stand up and present his plan but it is my
understanding that this isn't the way it will be. It will be the plan along
with barrels full of spin. Allowing an alternate point of view to be heard
or at a minimum at least allow a few pointed and unscripted questions to be
asked. Had W only allowed FOX and Sean Hannity to present policy during
his terms in office the howling would have been deafening.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I don't think every event needs to be fair and ballanced (though I
agree with Mo that this seems relatively f&b). He is the president; he
was elected by a majority of the people. He has a right to state his case
on this matter to the people in something other than the context of a full
fledged debate. There is plenty of time for debate. Were I ABC, or Fox for
that matter, I would want to show the event, no matter who the president
was. It has more to do with ratings -- having an exclusive event with the
president -- than bias.<BR><BR>Joe Campbell</DIV>

moderated event, people can submit their questions to ABC and the
President will answer them. From the five minute read that I took,
it seems like this will be more fair and balanced than anything I have
EVER seen on FoxNews. (I was not always a left leaning Democrat,
so I have watched Fox from a right leaning position, and found most of
it too bitter and nasty even then.) Granted there maybe something
on Saturday, but I did not find any such information on the ABC website,
it didn't take too long to find the correct information.

ABC<BR>> <BR>> According to Sean Hannity, Lars Larsen and Matt
Drudge ABC will host a program on healthcare from the Whitehouse this
Saturday. This will be a presentation of Obama's plan. No one else will
be allowed to present an alternative plan. ABC and or the White house
will select the audience.<BR>> Questions<BR>> 1. Do they have
their facts right?<BR>> 2. If they do will it be paid for for the
Democrats, since it would be an infocommercial? If it is for free then
the Republicans and AARP should be allowed to present their
plans.<BR>> Roger<BR>> <BR>>
