ABC Radio Pays Fred Thompson to Attack Democrats



"The Fred Thompson Report," is broadcast on the ABC Radio network, even while Fred Thompson is soliciting donations for his candidacy in the 2008 presidential race.

The latest Fred Thompson Report -- "Reading Harry Reid":

"Whether [Reid] means to or not, he’s encouraging our enemies to believe that they are winning the critical war of will." [there's more . .]

Via Steve Benen at The Carpetbagger Report: "By the way, how is it, exactly, that ABC Radio has decided to pay Thompson to deliver nationally-broadcast monologues condemning Democrats with bogus smears? ABC does know this guy is running for president, right? Doesn’t this seem a wee bit inappropriate?"

-- and --

No More Mister Nice Blog: "Yes, Steve, why is ABC still paying this guy to do commentary? He may not be an announced candidate, but he's a candidate by any reasonable person's definition of the term."

Ask ABC Radio why they are providing this platform to the Republican candidate.
