ABC News Sides with Oil and Coal Lobby PDF Print E-mail
Fossil Fuels - Oil
Saturday, 11 October 2008 21:05
SOlve Climate notes another example of the problem wioth massive concentration of media ownership, with ABC actively supporting the fossil fuel industry while blocking the way to a clean energy future - ABC News Sides with Oil and Coal Lobby. Just stop watching them is my advice.
ABC had no problem running an ad from Chevron during the Presidential debates. But guess what? They"ve turned down an ad supporting clean energy from Gore"s Repower America campaign.

Here"s the text of the offensive ad.
The solution to our climate crisis seems simple.
Repower America with wind and solar.
End our dependence on foreign oil. A stronger economy.
So why are we still stuck with dirty and expensive energy?
Because big oil spends hundreds of millions of dollars to block clean energy.
Lobbyists, ads, even scandals.
All to increase their profits, while America suffers.
Breaking big oil"s lock on our government ...
Now that"s change.

We"re the American people and we approve this message.

If you want to let ABC know you approve of the ad and are disappointed by their decision to refuse equal time to clean energy, click here.

The WE campaign has already generated 100,000 letters and is shooting for 50,000 more before tonight"s airing of 20/20.

No surprise from the network that cancelled Ted Koppel, and now renamed the Disney-ABC Television Group. The Mickey Mouse decision explains why it"s no accident that the "Disney" name comes first.
