Why, I ask, would any DUer or other supporter of Cindy Sheehan wish to participate in lining the coffers of ABC, who appear to be sponsoring the Melanie Morgan roadshow counter protest ?

Unless ABC in San Francisco apologizes for this affront, their flagship station KGO-TV should face the consequences and be picketted ! They support the creation of an Islamic Republic of Iraq apparently because that is the end result of this war in Iraq.

SCREW 'Desparate Housewives' this season, This is a Desparate Media trying to prop up a desparate administration !!!!!

1. I've refused to watch ABC...

... since Disney bought them out. Ptooie!

[Catrina]

2. So that's why Laura Bush

was pushing Desperate Housewives, they're part of the propaganda machine. I agree, boycott them ~

3. ABC also carries Limbaugh on radio n/t

[skids]

4. They have been steadily tracking to the right...

...ever since Jennings left, perhaps a bit before.

There used to be times when they would rip the government several new orifaces in one broadcast -- I haven't seen that happen in ages.

5. Michael Luckoff runs KGO radio the 'mainstream' ABC radio station

and KGO's star talkshow host is Ronn Owens, a boyhood friend of Benjamin Netanyahu from their Philadelphia days. Very interesting.



In the olden days, when William Casey was DCI at CIA, ABC was called The CIA's Network. With a war on these days I wouldn't doubt the military is using their internal propaganda 'mighty Wurlitzer' and ABC to push their pro war agenda. Hence the Melanie Morgan 'Truth Tour' (with tongue planted firmly in cheek)

Did the DOD foot the bill for this tour de force ? Are they STILL footing the bill for Melanie ? Does ABC get preferential treatment and 'scoops' a la Operation Mockingbird ? Is the counter demonstration by Morgan & company part and parcel of that ?

6. I don't know about ABC supporting Morgan, but I want to continue

listening to Bernie Ward, & Ray Taliferro each night and Karel on the weekend!

I'm also a Desperate Housewives fan.

A few of us who snub these stations aren't going to make any difference. If you decided to snub every RW radio and TV station, you better learn how to sing to yourself, cause that's all there is! Turn off the programs you don't like, but refusing to listen to all RW owned stations just doesn't make sense.

7. ABC pays Melanie Morgan's salary. If DH did an anti-war episode

that might help but from what the broadcaster is doing NOW by supplying support to Melanie Morgan, that is de facto aiding and abetting the domestic enemies of this country. That's the charge they're trying to hang on Cindy Sheehan.

I'll have none of it. ABC needs to apologize. Then they can cover Bush's meeting with Cindy and get the real story: What DID Casey Sheehan die for in Iraq ? The establishment of another Islamic Republic just like the one next door ?

8. Did anyone see Melanie big-mouth Morgan on Hardball last night?

First, she trashed Sheehan. Second, she said that we would find WMDs in Iraq. Third, she said that there was an "absolute" connection between September 11th and Iraq.

Well, I sent her a blasting email this morning about her ridiculous allegations. And I laughed at her anger towards Sheehan saying, "If you're this angry at her, it means she is doing a great job."

Melanie is blinded by her love for Bush and the republican party and will make false assertions.

9. ABC was purchased by a CIA front company in 1985

Remember the peculiar takeover of ABC by Capital Cities in 1985.
William Casey (CIA director) was one the founders of Cap Cities back in 1954.
The radio network was quickly converted to a right-wing propaganda machine.
They left ABC News (TV) pretty much alone at the time.
Cap Cities later sold to Disney, but the radio network remains a Limbaugh/Hannity hellhole.

10. And with KSFO in SF it looks like there's a Seattle connection too

if this is the same company

And the weblink WhoOwnsWhat
http://www.cjr.org/tools/owners/disney.asp#broadcast

shows that Disney indeed owns KGO and KSFO in the San Francisco media market, scroll down about halfway and see:

"KGO – San Francisco
KSFO – San Francisco"

It doesn't get much plainer than that. Do the people at Camp Casey know this ???? Someone should put them wise to ABC/Disney's backing of the SMEARING OF CINDY SHEEHAN by their paid agent on the payroll Melanie Morgan !!!!!!
