ABC News continues to behave like they are working hand-in-hand with the Obama Administrations’ health care take-over message machine. The latest effort came from ABC News Political Director Amy Walter as she offered a harsh warning to Republicans: Don’t mess with ObamaCare (video below).
In 2009, ABC News reporter Linda Douglass was named the Director of Communications for the White House Office of Health Reform. Her infamous warning against mis-information from the right about ObamaCare with her plea for Americans to report their fellow citizens who spread the conservative message on the health care legislation to “Flag@WhiteHouse.gov” got most of the headlines during her tenure.
But, Ms. Douglass’ most lasting propaganda effort while working in the White House may have been the exclusive “Health Care Forum” broadcast live from the White House exclusively on her former network hosted by ABC News anchors Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer.
Now, ABC News Political Director Amy Walter continues her network’s critical role in the ObamaCare debate:
The dramatic editing complete with the “DJ Jazzy Jeff-esque” scratch-back of Senator Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)’s statement adds to the horror film motif that ABC News is trying to project on to the debate.
As brilliant an observer of American politics as Ms. Walter surely is, she seems to overlook the fact that the GOP majority was won in the House on a very overt agenda of ObamaCare repeal. Is there no one at ABC News to suggest to Ms. Walter that the real political danger lies in the proposition of Republicans ignoring the clear mandate they have been given?
Doubtful. But, such voices would get in the way of ABC News’ seemingly tireless efforts on behalf of the Obama Administrations’ agenda. Luckily, if Ms. Walter starts to get bored, she could easily follow Ms. Douglass and take over the full time job of communicating Health Care talking points for the Administration.
Same job, different employer.
