ABC: The All Barack Channel

Last night, ABC Television and it's once-respected news department took the final step in its transformation into a full-fledged state operated medium. I haven't watched the Big Three networks - or commercial television for that matter -for many years with the exception of sports. If there was a salvageable network until last night, it was ABC. Unfortunately, the chose unwisely. If they are willing to sponsor a night full of propaganda and crush any attempt at debate, we can say that journalism at ABC Television died last night. Will I trust ABC for news? No.

UPDATE: The show was a ratings bust: only 4.7 million people chose to drink the Kool-Aid during the 10:00 PM time slot.
