Media hacks unite. Dan Rather is so proud!!

ABC edits out parts of the Gibson/Palin interview… you know, the parts where she showed her knowledge on issues. Un-frickin-believable!

A transcript of the unedited interview of Sarah Palin by Charles Gibson clearly shows that ABC News edited out crucial portions of the interview that showed Palin as knowledgeable or presented her answers out of context. This unedited transcript of the first of the Gibson interviews with Palin is available on radio host Mark Levin’s website.

[...] … presented Palin as a bit too knowledgeable for the purposes of ABC News and was, of course, edited out. Palin’s answers about a nuclear Iran were carefully edited to the point where she was even edited out in mid-sentence to make it seem that Palin favored unilateral action against that country

Edits were done in mid-sentence? Oh Please. Her words were manipulated to sound like she was itching for a war with Russia and she was clueless on foreign affairs.

Michelle Malkin and HotAir have more.

Yesterday I said “Journalism is dead in America.” Charlie Gibson is a fine example of how deep the media has sunk into the swamp of deceit. Non-existent unbiased reporting aside, how about a bit of unbiased non-agenda-driven editing?

    Gibson/Obama interview:

    How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
    How does it feel to “win”?
    How does your family feel about your “winning” breaking a glass ceiling?
    Who will be your VP?
    Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
    Will you accept public finance?
    What issues is your campaign about?
    Will you visit Iraq?
    Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
    What did you think of your competitor’s [Clinton] speech?

    Compare to the Gibson/Palin interview:

    Do you have enough qualifications for the job you’re seeking? Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
    Aren’t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
    Questions about foreign policy
    -territorial integrity of Georgia
    -allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
    -NATO treaty
    -Iranian nuclear threat
    -what to do if Israel attacks Iran
    -Al Qaeda motivations
    -the Bush Doctrine
    -attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
    Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]
