Here's The Reason Why ABC DId What They Did In The Debate |
|
Because there were zero actual consequences for them when they staged the faux-history "Path to 9/11". No boycotts of their advertisers, or of Disney, or of Apple (Steve Jobs is Disney's largest shareholder), etc.
Why shouldn't they stage another attack on Democrats?

1. Lack of accountability is clearly the problem |

and media re-regulation and divestment is the only answer (just as it is in just about every other irresponsible industry, from Wall Street to beef production to pharmaceuticals).

3. They do it because they can... |
|
the 'media' has been bonkers for quite a while now. If they could get away with the Iraq War, they can get away with anything.

The media is owned by big rich Republicans. Why do you think there's so much news that we never see on TV?
Gibson and Stepie had a great opportunity to make some brownie points with the boss by making Democrats look bad.. and they took it.
