The special in question is here. When I read this I had a niggling memory of a law that we used to have? Something about opposing viewpoints on the public airwaves? Can't seem to remember what that was about...
WASHINGTON (CNN) – The Republican National Committee is urging GOP members of Congress to take to the local airwaves next week to discuss their approach to healthcare reform in an effort to counter an ABC News primetime special featuring President Obama speaking on the issue.Yeah, ABC was totally fair and balanced with that masterpiece of cinema, The Path To 9/11. Uh huh.
The RNC is informing GOP congressional offices this morning that it will pay for and help schedule the interviews with local television reporters in their states and districts.
The RNC tells the Republican lawmakers it is taking this step because they said their request to be included in the special “was denied.”
