If you watched last nights Hannity on Fox News then you saw this theory of Dick Morrises about collusion between ABC and the Whitehouse on the contraception issue. It's a well thought out theory and I'm inclined to agree. I knew the media was pro Obama but I didn't actually think they conspired on issues or stories together before this. This is ABC's Dan Rather moment revisited all over again.

Read the synopsis of the theory then reflect on the timeline then watch THE VIDEO IN THE LINK and tell me this isn't blatantly obvious collusion.

Dick Morris Accuses George Stephanopoulos of Being a 'Paid Democratic Hitman' | NewsBusters.org

Snip:
Former Clinton adviser Dick Morris on Monday accused ABC’s George Stephanopoulos of being a “paid Democratic hitman.”

Appearing on Fox News’s Hannity, Morris also said Stephanopoulos was “under orders” to ask Mitt Romney all those contraception questions during ABC’s January 7 Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire (video follows with transcript and commentary):

DICK MORRIS: Obama did not make a mistake in this mandate. It’s a deliberately calculated move on his part. The Democrats realize that abortion is no longer a winner for them. It used to be ten points more pro-choice than pro-Life, now it’s ten points more pro-Life than pro-choice possibly because of the publicity of the anti-abortion people, possibly because of the aging of the population. But the point is that it’s a loser issue. So what they’re trying to do now is replace it with contraception.

So the first piece of evidence was after Santorum won Iowa, the first controversy was, “Do you think states should have the right to ban contraception?” Where did that come from? Then you remember that ABC debate with that paid Democratic hitman George Stephanopoulos went after Romney trying to…

SEAN HANNITY, HOST: Friend of yours, Dick.

MORRIS: …trying to pin him down on, on contraception? And Romney kept saying, “George, nobody wants to make contraception.” “No, but do they have the theoretical power to do it?” Remember, it was five minutes, people were laughing at him, booing him. Well that…

HANNITY: You think he was doing this under direct orders?

MORRIS: Under orders. And I think, and now he comes out with this thing on contraception. They want to create the idea, and it’s no coincidence, that he came out with it after Minnesota and Colorado which was Santorum’s victories. They want to create the impression that the Republicans will ban contraception, which is totally insane, but they’re floating it out and they’re bringing it out there. And this move on Obama’s part was part of injecting that issue.

For those that have forgotten, here’s the relevant section from that January 7 debate:

Think this is just a coincidence or given all the heated rhetoric about contraception in the past couple of weeks does Morris have a point?
 
And by they way, its not "the liberal media" anymore.

They are the State Run Media.
 
The only people trying to make contraception an issue are ultra-religious people, everyone else just enjoys laughing at their hypocritical antics.
 
If it's an effort to get the social conservatives stirred up to make the republicans look bad then so what? This is politics, you expect a clean fight? Letting the preachers have a seat at the republican table was the worst thing they ever did. So far they've been pretty quiet in their demand for greater theocrazy. Far better to disillusion them early and often.

So you don't want unbiased real reporting from our news media? Prefer to be spoon fed?

No thanks

Do you think there was ever time we had unbiased news on cable? It's the reason I don't watch it. As to Stephanopolus being paid by the whitehouse, that's pretty dumb, he would probably make republicans look like social conservative nutbags for free.

ABC is not a cable outlet.

And paid or not that's not the point. The fact that a non issue was front and center then pounded in over and over is odd don't ya think?

It's like they were digging for a soundbyte and couldn't get it.
