Can you say “backfire”?
This is just a preview of what will happen if the left gets power.
Every information outlet will become a push channel for their ideas, and any technique to sell the Left will be used.
I mean worse than now.
Gibson, the Biased ABC Media Bully [looking down his nose from up on high]:
"Please take off your American flag pin. The American flag is an abomination now prohibited by ABC News."
"The Times got it wrong. And Charlie Gibson got it wrong.
There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings,
each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration--
and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today.
...... I know something about the subject because, as the Wikipedia entry
on the Bush doctrine notes, I was the first to use the term."
Charles Krauthammer
Comparison: Gibson Questions for Obama (and Edwards in 2004) vs. for Sarah Palin
Obama's Puff-piece 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 competitors [Clinton] speech?
Palin's 'kangaroo court' interview:
Do you have enough qualifications for the job youre seeking?
Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Arent 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]
"Charles Gibson of ABC News was out for blood and inherently applied
a double-standard compared with the kid gloves George Stephanopoulos
used on Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois on Sunday night.
Gibson was out to embarrass Palin and expose her presumed ignorance from the word go. "
UPI Say ABC Exhibits Double Standard
Did ABC & Gibson Use Camera Trickery To Belittle Gov. Palin?
"While it's true that Governor Palin is of less stature than Mr. Gibson,
the deliberate choice of the camera's height, framing and the use of
telephoto lenses all serve to make Mr. Gibson look overpowering
and Governor Palin the weak prey. This is common shooting technique
we use to make a villain appear more ominous."
"Interesting choice of ties for Charlie.
Salesmanship 101 - When you want to befriend a client, wear blue.
Salesmanship 102 - When you face an adversary, and you seek to control them, wear red.

ABC News Edited Out Key Parts of Sarah Palin Interview
I hope this doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone...
On a cattier note, it is also good to see that conservatives are once again fashionable with the Republican party. I wonder how long until we are considered an embarrassment this time.

Also notice that in the Palin interview, the chairs are directly opposite - pointed towards one another. This is confrontational.
In the Obama interview, the chairs are angled, tending towards a more ‘side-by-side’ arangement. This is more collegial.
It didn't seem like it hurt McCain that much too me.
“Bali Bras...Werther Original Chocolates...”
You’re asking too much of me. How about if I cancel my lone, remaining Sunday newspaper subscription, instead? I never read it; I just buy it for the coupons for bras and chocolate.
:)
Good grief ... just compare the look on Gibson’s face in the Obama interview and the Palin interview. That’s enough to convince me. Looks downright jovial speaking with Obama. Has a “yeah, right” look on his face with Palin.
Here they are walking side by side...
Does a bear sh*t in the woods?
Of Course they did.
But to me the larger question is how the McCain campaign let this happen.
Every “journalist” in America was begging for the first Sarah interview.
The campaign did not have to let ABC dictate the terms.
Sarah should have been in a setting that accented her authority and stature - perhaps sitting behind her Governor’s desk.
Instead, ABC tried to make it look like she was scrunched up and almost cowering before Gibson - like a student geting a butt chewing from a school principal.
Where was the McCain/Palin campaign media consultant?
Do they even have one?
I don’t care for Dick Morris but he knows his way around the media.
If they had a Dick Morris type on site he would have demanded that Sarah be shown in a positive light and would have stopped the constant browbeating and “GOTCHA” hypotheticals.
Gibson conducted and interrogation - not an interview.
I hope they have learned a lesson and have someone along to protect their interests from here on.
We (quietly for now) are still considered an embarrassment to RINO's, "blue-blood" Pubbies, etc. Actually they are alarmed and steaming frickin mad that conservatism is surging since the Palin pick, but Palin is too popular for them to do much right now -- however, I suspect many of them are quietly cheering on the LameStream Medjia in its attempts to destroy Palin.
Well, if they’re sitting in the same chairs and Gibson towers over Gov. Palin, yet walking side-by-side, they are close to the same height, then it must mean that Gibson has a very large, um, behind (close to 100 percent of his total body mass).
I saw part of the interview on line and it appeared as if Charlie was sitting on a high barstool and Sarah was on a little bench. Kind of like a teacher lecturing a class of little kids.
Can you say...they can’t lay a glove on SARAH AMERICA!!
This picture accurately reflects the reletive importance ABC News places on Charlie Gibson and Sarah Palin.
In 2021, when Sarah Palin has been President and the Democrats are entering their 20th year of electoral exile, we will see what they think.
I don’t do business with any of those boycotted companies but I was wanting to see Ghost Town. Guess I’ll wait and watch it for free one day.
