ABC Pulls Plug on Andrew Breitbart After Far Left Protests

There’s a reason they’re called the democratic-media complex.
ABC cancelled Andrew Breitbart’s appearance tonight.
Big Government reported:
After flying Andrew Breitbart all the way out to Phoenix, Arizona yesterday to participate in an online Townhall election event, after taking him out of his home state, away from his business, and nearly making it impossible for him to vote in today’s crucial midterm election (though he’s on an airplane now in order to cast his ballot), at about as close to the last minute as you can get, Andrew Morse, chief of the ABC News digital division, sent the following email late this afternoon abruptly canceling Breitbart’s appearance:
We have spent the past several days trying to make clear to you your limited role as a participant in our digital town hall to be streamed on ABC News.com and Facebook. The post on your blog last Friday created a widespread impression that you would be analyzing the election on ABC News. We made it as clear as possible as quickly as possible that you had been invited along with numerous others to participate in our digital town hall. Instead of clarifying your role, you posted a blog on Sunday evening in which you continued to claim a bigger role in our coverage. As we are still unable to agree on your role, we feel it best for you not to participate.
This is yet another obvious attempt to build a narrative that puts the blame on Breitbart when the truth is that this is nothing more than ABC News caving in to and attempting to appease the organized left’s outrage machine.

People still watch ABC?
newton commented:
Breitbart doesn’t need them. He’s got plenty of friends here, in the blogosphere, and at Fox News.
He should appear on Fox News as an act of revenge!
Sasja commented:
ABC? Who watches anyhoo? They are part of the left’s organized outrage machine and the sooner folks learn that the better off they will be.
Kenny Solomon commented:
Anyone stop to think it was deliberate to get him as far from home/comfort as possible and keep him on edge ?
The internet is a great thing, but sometimes in-person is the only way.
I put nothing past the Democrats, the left and this administration…… Nothing.
Militant Conservative commented:
I give Andrew more credit than this. He probably early voted or absentee voted. i did.
powder is dry.
Ed commented:
the more they turn left the more the nation turns right….on a zero sum equation, that means less viewers for any of the lamestream media!
Go Tea Party!!!!
Kemo Sabe commented:
ABC is irrelevant….and lacks gravitas.
Khan Krum commented:
All Barack Channel. To Hell with ‘em.

ABC = All Bull Crap
Atlanta Media Guy commented:
Boycott everything Disney and ABC News advertisers! I just sent an email asking one advertiser if they knew they were sponsoring a news organization that was being run by George Soros?
Folks let your emails fly to the ABC/Disney brass and let them know how you feel! If Soros outfits like Media Matters can do this with Beck and other conservative TV/Radio hosts, conservatives can do it too!

I think its time for open bidding on network broadcast frequency rights.
