ABC stands for A Bias Channel

As I sat down with my family to watch the uplifting "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," a commercial appeared with depictions of people becoming sick and mass hysteria. You would think that it was in some distant country, like Africa with the Ebola virus. One might even say it was Europe with the Mad-Cow Disease but that was not the case. Instead, the country with the mass hysteria was the United States, the disease, Bird Flu. I stood there shocked when ABC presented me with a new movie called "Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America." This movie is designed to show what effects the Bird Flu will have on the United States.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that ABC made this movie to demonstrate George Bush not caring about the Bird Flu epidemic but is there really a threat? Recent articles from the New York Times, a liberal newspaper by the way, stated that the Bird Flu has to go through several mutations before it will become a major pandemic. As of right now, the virus can not be easily transmitted from person to person but rather, a person would have to eat meat in order to contract this disease. Unless ABC is withholding information from us, there story is very far from being plausible. The main reason that ABC is showing this movie is for the mighty rating points. Since the average American doesn't know much about the Avian Bird Flu, they might become frightened by this movie and take the information that they just seen as scripture instead of the truth. Americans might jump to conclusions and start to blame George Bush for not preparing America better. If you want to beat the bird flu, I offer you this simple yet effective advice. WASH YOUR HANDS!!!
