I hope the McCain campaign has their own camera and tapes to combat the edits. This would be the first thing I would have insisted before doing any interview.

Who are the bigger idiots on obama’s campaign team? The candidate himself or his propaganda machine know as the main street media? Gibson probably thought he needed to make peace with the Messiah after the capital gains tax cut question. But by going so overboard, by using forged ap quotes, it’s backfired on himn and team obama.

Gibson has completely crapped himself. The ABC web site had a story about the interview, and they had 1,100 comments posted at the end by mid morning today. I read about 100 of the comments and they were very negative toward Gibson...in fact, they were often brutal. By about 11:00 (EST) ABC had pulled all the comments so they couldn’t be viewed. I just checked again to see if they were put back up, but they’re not.

Humm, imagine that. The media trying to shape reality by hiding the truth. God bless the forged ap quote. McCain should use this lack of journalistic research to ban Gibson from the debates.

Today over lunch, I had a friend—a female Democrat—state that the media has lost its mission and can no longer be trusted to provide accurate information.

My wife is in a Sorority with a mix of Republicans and Democrats. The other day one of her more liberal friends confided that she was voting for McCain because she is completely disgusted with the way Sarah is being treated by the Democrats and the media. She told my wife that she is ashamed of how the liberals and her party have behaved.

UPCHUCKY GIBSON is an ARROGANT CONDESCENDING STEAMING PILE

... Oh yeah, last night was the first time I had watched ABC in years.

And Gibson is the least biased among them.

What Sarah did last night on the “Bush Doctrine” question was the mark of born genius. She saw the trap and had the presence of mind to slow down and ask for a clarification.

All the training in the world with Ambassador Bolton can’t give you that split second ability to read and react. Like a quarterback looking off a safety to sling a pass down the deep middle of the field, it’s a gift. You can either do it or you can’t. Sarah can do it, and she’s going to get better at it with time and experience.

Think about it. She’s this good two weeks into her national political career. Bill Clinton was a national joke after the 1988 keynote speech at the DNC. Reagan had 16 years to “become” the Reagan we loved so much.

Good catch. FreeRepublic and the internet are the sole bastions of truth. Maybe you can get this out to the sole unbiased media outlet- talk radio

There seems to be more and more of this media backlash working in our favor. I think it augers well for the undecideds in the coming months.

GIBSON: Exact words.

Gibson did not tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. His is a sin of omission. I hope the McCain campaign nails him on this "lie." (Knowingly saying something which is not true.)

"Got you Gibson!

Point well taken. But, if the 'gotcha' moment is only enjoyed here, and not shared with the same audience who watched the interview, what is the point?

I mean, to prove him to be the ignorant jerk that he is to us here is of little value. As pleasurable as that is, it means nothing if he isn't humiliated in front of his audience. That is where he and his network take it in the shorts.

We aren't his audience, so our poor opinion of him means nothing. We need to figure out how to take more viewers away from him.

Gibson's first mistake was to assume Sarah Palin really is the ignorant hillbilly she is portrayed to be by the liberal media, left wing bloggers and Hollywood leftists. Palin is smart and politically savvy and while she may lack an Ivy league law degree she can hold her own with media hacks like Gibson.
