ABC News is pro-Bush garbage

[What ABC did]
ABC News deleted over fifty comments supporting Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul. You can read about it here. There was a debate in California between the Republican presidential candidates. Ron Paul apparently clearly won the debate. ABC News tried to frame the story so that it looked like Paul had done more poorly than he actually had. Several people then posted messages of support on ABC's website. The messages did not violate ABC's terms of use. The messages were deleted by ABC shortly thereafter.

This is censorship. This is probably not illegal, but it certainly makes ABC look like an organization dedicated more to the promotion of a certain political agenda than to unbiased reporting of the news.

Ron Paul is a Republican congressman from Texas. He is also a libertarian. He has never voted for an increase in salaries for congressmen. He has never voted in support of the Iraq War.

Like all aged media companies, ABC has an interesting history. The American Broadcasting Company used to be known as NBC Blue until 1943. As of right now, it is owned by Disney, whose CEO is Bob Iger. ABC Radio Networks (also owned by Disney) syndicates Sean Hannity, Larry Elder, and Mark Davis. These radio commentators are pro-Republican bags of hate, and they would have been adamant supporters of Adolf Hitler if they had been born in Germany in the 1890s. The fact that ABC gives a platform to these people shows that they are in the obscurantism business.

ABC aired the anti-Clinton, pro-Bush "The Path to 9/11" on September 10 and 11, 2006. That mini-series insinuated that Clinton's inattention to international affairs contributed to the September 11, 2001 attacks on Washington and New York (and that field in Pennsylvania). Former Counterterrorism bureaucrat Richard A. Clarke says that that's bullshit. I believe Clarke more than I believe ABC.

Mainstream news presents itself as though it is an impartial agency. It presents itself as though it merely reports what has happened. In this case, ABC News is trying to marginalize a Republican candidate so that it can push a different Republican candidate.

ABC News is no more a news organization than is Fox News.
