ABC used O'Donnell

I apologize, I have been out in Philadelphia this week and haven't had a chance to post. This will be short one ...

According to Rosie O'Donnell this morning on the "The View", her representation and ABC couldn't reach a "contract" agreement and she will be leaving the show at the end of the season in June. Rosie O'Donnell is a mouth piece and we have known that for years. ABC wanted to spice up it's ratings on the "The View" and found a controversial figure. They just followed the first rule of media--Controversy Sells. That's it folks. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's your choice whether or not to continue watching "Dancing with the Stars" or "The Bachelor."

Many recently have criticized ABC for a political bias. I really don't buy into the think that media organizations have a ideological bias. It's all about market research and power. If you think the NY Times has a liberal ideological bias, I hate to burst your bubble. They have a marketing bias that feeds the ideology of their target market. How many of their world wide papers would they sell if they told the unbiased truth? How many papers in Manhattan would they sell if they told you the complete truth? I, for one, don't watch that much ABC to begin with. My boycott of ABC would be less than effective and maybe even less than appropriate.

Now Mrs. O'Donnell is a different story. Rosie has the ideology and ABC was profiting from it. Am I upset that Rosie is gone? Absolutely not. Good riddens. But honestly, I didn't watch "The View" anyway.

I've made my choice and any other would be a little bit shallow. After all, I didn't stop watching Fox News when they brought back Geraldo Rivera.
