Time to Protest ABC News

Do you believe that a mainstream news outlet should be serving as an unofficial mouthpiece of the Administration?

Do you believe that a mainstream news outlet should provide free airtime to present the Adminstration's side of an issue, while rejecting even paid advertising presenting an alternate view?

A coalition of Tea Party and 9-12 groups in North Texas is joining together in a protest of ABC's decision to devote a full hour of free prime-time programming on June 24th to a presentation on the Administration's new socialized medicine plan.

Despite its claims to be an objective conduit for news and information, ABC News has rejected requests for airtime made by advocates of alternate health care reform plans, even to those who offered to purchase airtime to present their side.

If you agree that this sort of behavior is completely inappropriate for a supposedly "objective" news organization, you are encouraged to join the protest and make your voice heard:

Where: WFAA, Channel 8 News, 606 Young St. (East of Union Station, Between Market St. and Lamar)
When: Wednesday, June 24th 5:30pm
