ABC in Obama's Camp?

I've picked up on some hoopla about ABC devoting an entire day to supporting Obama's health care reform including broadcasting their nightly newscast from the white house. I read one conservative publication that condemned it, and two liberal publications, one of which defended it and the other that said they would take a wait and see approach.

In my simplicity, I guess I don't get it. I mean, if it were a news story, every network would be covering it. Since they're not, then it's not. That only leaves two possibilities. Either ABC is shamelessly in Obama's camp but refuses to admit it. Or this is some kind of documentary thing. That's what the one liberal publication used as its defense, comparing it to NBC doing a documentary from the white house during the Bush years. But if it is a documentary, then why would they do their newscast from there?

For me, the deciding factor as to what this really is occurred on the night before the election last November when ABC broadcast a full hour of free publicity for Obama, practically begging people to vote for him, under the guise of a TV show called Boston Legal. This shameless promotion was condemned by no one that I know of, probably because any conservatives that might have watched it already knew ABC's position, so felt no comment was necessary.

I don't mind networks favoring one politician over another, or one political party over another. I just hate it that they all pretend that they don't.
