Got bit by the mouse (Disney) huh? Yeah, I'm not surprised. With some of the republican candidates refusing to participate in the originally stated premise of joint citizen involved "debates" I'm not all that shocked about this turn of events. ABC said one thing and did another. The stomach churns.
In my cynical state (which I will soon appease by eating some Tuna Curry), why would ABC News cede any time to responsible vloggers or true citizen input? Yes ABC Entertainment will take your work and not compensate you but the old school news department will not allow entry by the teaming masses. Not going to happen without a good reason or profit motive. If some of the republicans didn't want to participate then they should have gone ahead with the ones that would have shown up. What would have been more reveling and less embarrassing except to the ones that didn't show up? As far as Amanda is concerned it is ridiculous that as a vlogging ABC News person she may or may not have been consulted or even if she was able to offer suggestions to the producer in charge was deliberately not being heard. Fight the powers that be - make your own channel!
