Fair, unbiased, objective journalism -- in a pig's eye

Courtesy of The Mark Levin Show, read the entire transcript of the Palin/Gibson interview here and tell me why they edited out the parts that reflect more thoughtfulness from Palin's answers? Could it be that "enlightened" journalists are so above the rest of us that they know what Palin meant, versus what she actually answered? My hatred for the mainstream media grows exponentially. They are lower than whale shit.

Gibson tried as hard as he could, through questioning and editing, to make Palin look as bad as possible. He failed. Tough interviews are great. Let's have more of them, instead of reserving them for conservatives and women. Palin is battling two double standards, one reserved for conservatives and another for professional women, and she's overcoming them both, and will only get better, as Rich Lowery points out here, http://tinyurl.com/6l79nv .

OMG, it is even more obvious than I thought. Any depth that she added to her initial answers was simply edited out. Nice. It's only going to help the GOP. I've always known the MSM is aligned with the Dems but it should be obvious now to even the most disengaged voter.

ABC has shown that it has nothing but contempt for Sarah Palin, and for the standards that journalists are supposed to uphold. The "interview" was a full scale attack, carefully designed, full of loaded questions ("didn't it take hubris to say 'yes' to McCain?") and all sorts of traps (such as asking about THE "Bush Doctrine," when even experts admit that there is no agreement on what that is). The introduction to the interview on friday night was one of the most biased pieces of journalism imaginable, full of nothing but negative comments about Palin. It made the US magazine cover from last week look like child's play. For a few minutes, I thought I was back in Cuba, watching one of those Orwellian charades that twist all the facts.

In a way it's good, because they are getting more and more obvious, and are starting to take hits for it even beyond rating and circulation losses. Look at all the 'feminists' who nearly broke their ankles backpedaling on their remarks about Palin, and Matthews and Olberman getting canned as part of the venom circus at MSNBC. There's more to come...

Compared to the interview Gibson gave Obama, it's quite obvious the MSM is hell bent in destroying Sara Palin.

More and more Rush's name for the msm as the "drive by media" is ringing true.
