The next time you hear liberals in the media talk about undue influence of corporate entities or the dominance of powerful voices, think of Good Morning America on Tuesday. The “news” program devoted almost 17 minutes to shilling for the new Disney+ streaming service. Disney, of course, owns ABC and the journalists on the network sounded more like PR talking points come to life.

Host Michael Strahan excitedly opened the show as though he were on a commenter on a Disney fan site: “It’s finally here! More than 500 movies... More than 7,500 episodes of your favorite shows!... It’s marvelous! It’s incredible! And it’s here!”

Co-host (and fellow ABC/Disney employee) Robin Roberts compared it to... Christmas: “It’s like Christmas coming early for everyone! Hundreds of your favorite movies, thousands of episodes of your favorite shows.”

Strahan suggested: “It's perfect because it's cold outside. It's freezing so nothing better to do than stay inside and watch Disney+!”

George Stephanopoulos, who is supposed to be a serious news guy, sounded like someone at a Disney shareholder meeting: “This morning, Disney+ is flying into your living room!... This is Disney+, a dream come true for Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger.”

Apparently, Disney’s CEO is excited about this development for Disney: “All Disney in one place? Never existed before. That’s a big deal.”

And in case you were wondering, ABC’s “journalists” informed viewers that it’s cheaper than Netflix:

At $6.99 a month Disney Plus is half the price of Netflix's most popular plan. They have priced it competitively and also sending a bundle Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, Hulu with ads for $12.99 a month. Guys, the future is here and as Bob Iger called it, this is a reinvention of the Walt Disney company.

In total, GMA devoted 16 minutes and 58 seconds to Disney+ promotion. If that wasn’t enough, the show offered 7 minutes and 19 seconds to pushing Disney’s Frozen 2. That’s 24 minutes and 17 seconds, almost a full half hour, just to Disney promotion.
