(377 posts)7. Koch's hire a large stable of internet posters

http://www.theihs.org/koch-summer-fellow-program
The Koch Brothers have a large stable of internet posters, some on the payroll at minimum wage in the CHARLES G KOCH SUMMER FELLOWS (google it), some on scholarships, some on staff at controlled think tanks. All the MSM is targeted at election times for a flood. Remember Billionaire Koch has accumulated 1,000,000 name database of disgruntled people who think they are Tea Party volunteers, or AFP volunteers, where they are just suckers aiding a corporatist hostile takeover of America.
ABC is owned by rightwingers who operate the corporations that own ABC.

...ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Company and is part of Disney-ABC Television Group...
The following link is rather dated, but shows where ABC has been, and maybe still is:

Almost all of Disney's major talk radio stations-- WABC in New York, WMAL in D.C., WLS in Chicago, WBAP in Dallas/Ft. Worth and KSFO in San Francisco-- broadcast Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Indeed, WABC is considered the home station for both of these shows, which promote an unremitting Republican political agenda. (Disney's KABC in L.A. carries Hannity, but has Bill O'Reilly instead of Limbaugh.) Disney's news/talk stations are dominated by a variety of other partisan Republican hosts, both local and national, including Laura Ingraham, Larry Elder and Matt Drudge.
Disney's Family Channel carries Pat Robertson's 700 Club, which routinely equates Christianity with Republican causes. After the September 11 attacks, Robertson's guest Jerry Falwell (9/13/01) blamed the attacks on those who "make God mad": "the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who try to secularize America." Robertson's response was, "I totally concur." It's hard to imagine that anything in Moore's film will be more controversial than that.
Disney's ABC News prominently features John Stossel, who, though not explicitly partisan, advocates for a conservative philosophy in almost all his work: "It is my job to explain the beauties of the free market," he has explained (Oregonian, 10/26/94). No journalist is allowed to advocate for a balancing point of view on ABC's news programs.

Mrs Obama's speech was so phenomenal, we'll quickly see a reversing of this trend.

Why would any serious person want to post it? We've seen this before, unfortunately. n/t
