ABC and other news outlets need to hear from us re. Hillary Rosen and Ted Nugent

I looked at the ABC news website this morning. They're still posting stories about Hillary Rosen's one little comment that Ann Romney doesn't know what it's like to have to work, yet there's NOTHING about a draft dodging washed up guitar player (and a solicited endorser of Mitt Rmoney) threatening to kill the President. Why aren't the mainstream news outlets all over this, as well as the horrendous disrespect to the office of the President? Hell, we all know why they're letting Nugent slide while continuing to harp on Rosen. So my next question - why aren't WE all over ABC and the other news outlets asking why they're not covering incendiary and threatening comments about the President?

Yes...Nugent's a total shitbag and his threat to the President deserves to be condemned, not spread. Remember, our corporate media spreads it noise far and wide and I don't need to have "Nuge's" bile played and replayed over and over. Here's hoping he's revolted enough people that he no longer gets a platform to spew this shit. Better to boycott his shows and condemn those who throw money at him. As was said in another thread, it's time Teddy went home and thought about things for a while...or just vanish into the obscurity he's worked so long and hard to deserve...

Witness the Drug Addict, who lost his advertisers only after a big stink. Just one example.

behavior from the dems and childish, nasty behavior from the GOP, then they say "both sides are bad". It's bullshit.

So anytime somebody says both sides are the same just send them the list.
The Republican propaganda machine is very good at ths FE game.
