That's called "business".

You can do business with whomever you choose, or not, as the spirit moves.

You wouldn't want to put restrictions on Free Enterprise, now would you?

That's right.
Media is a business, facts and impartiality be dammed.
Thank you for pointing out another reason not to put stock into ABC's/Obamas show.

It's another reason not to accept the RNC's trying to make it political.

The business of the media is reporting the news and providing the whole story, not what they choose to disseminate otherwise their credibility is shot and it's no longer news.

Precisely.

Neither ABC nor any other media outlet was ever designed to be impartial. That's why the phrase "Fair And Balanced" is the target for so much well-deserved derision. It is pure caca. Media outlets serve only themselves, and present whatever they think they can sell.

No editor, publisher, producer, or manager ever intentionally acted counter to the viewpoint of their audience/customer base for reasons of altruism and lived to tell about it. It's all about money.

ABC's response to the RNC completely side steps the request and in summary tells them not to worry, we'll make sure it's done objectively...how arrogant.
Does the DNC get rebuttal time for the entire Fox News Channel's programming? Fox News pronounces that they are "Fair and Balanced" every few minutes on their network. Now THAT's arrogance!

It would be great to see Obama complete with a codpiece and a "Mission Accomplished" banner behind him. Think the GOP would object to that?
