White House Health Reform Communications Director is Former ABC News Correspondent

Ah… So this explains it. Why ABC is providing Obama with an 1 hour free infomercial for this socialized health care propaganda. Media Bistro provides the info and details:

It turns out the Director of Communications for the White House Office of Health Reform, since last month, is former ABC News correspondent Linda Douglass, who left journalism last year to join the Obama campaign. This is leading some to wonder whether ABC News had the upper hand in landing the president for the primetime special as well as an interview on GMA and allowing two ABC News broadcasts to originate from the White House next week. An ABC News spokesperson, however, says there’s no connection between Douglass and ABC’s access. The network approached the administration days after the inauguration and pitched the idea of a White House town hall meeting, says the spokesperson.

Hey All Barack Channel, why not include ABC 20/20 anchor John Stossel in the health care propganda program? You want “thoughtful” and “diverse” voices, don’t you ABC?
