This is what I spent on the competition.

My husband suggested a way to up the ante on boycotting. Mass emails and phone calls are often dismissed. But those truly serious might go a step further and invest in some postage stamps and mail receipts of purchases made with competitors to give their message more impact.

Yep. They’ve torn the veil away, taken off all of their clothes and climbed into the Lincoln bedroom.

A real ‘oz’ moment.

The newest twist in the ABC special uproar comes from Rick Scott, chairman of Conservatives for Patients Rights. Scott says his group tried to buy a 60-second ad before the “Prescription for America” to offer a different point of view, and was denied. “It is unfortunate — and unusual — that ABC is refusing to accept paid advertising that would present an alternative viewpoint for the White House health care event,” he says in a statement. “We were surprised to hear that paid advertisements would not be accepted when we inquired and we would certainly be open to purchasing time if ABC would reconsider.”

While he may think it is unfortunate, it isn’t unusual — an ABC spokesperson tells TVNewser the network has a “long-standing policy” of not accepting “advocacy advertising.”

Of course, not all ABC affiliates have the policy, so Scott’s organization could take the ad to local stations.

Throwing a little gasoline on the fire.

There is an upside to this. ABC news only has about 8 million viewers.

By doing this, they have removed the mask, opened the curtain, torn the veil away from what has long been known, but often defended by liberals– the objectivity of the news media.
It will be harder for the left to defend this illusion and it is one more step toward American realization that they can’t rely on the major media as a source of news.

I asked them that in light of their long-time abdication of any pretense at journalism if this was the occasion when they would finally make the formal announcement.
