ABC News is giving up complete control to Obama and will even broadcast from inside the White House. This is the death of democracy. State run media is crucial to tyranny since it keeps people from knowing the truth.
Sure, the American media has been liberal for at least the last 40 years but actually merging government with the media is unprecedented --- in America anyway.
In communist countries merging government and media is par for the course. China, North Korea, and the former Soviet Union all have state controlled media. In Iran the government is using the media right now to pretend hundreds of thousands of people are not protesting the recent sham elections. Hitler and Mussolini used the media extensively to coerce submission to their will.
"Truth is the greatest enemy of the State." Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Reich Minister of Propaganda.
