This only relates to Part 1 of the original interview (yesterday). It's amazing (to me at least), that when one reads the entire transcript (versus the edited versions I've seen on television) the context it puts each of these responses in. I thought Palin did well last night; I would have thought she hit a 'home run' if I had seen the entire interview unedited in its entirety.

I have a dual purpose with this post: I am very curious to see the FULL UNEDITED transcripts of the other parts of the interview (shown today), as I'm betting it would put Palin in an even better light (and I thought she did very well today).

Thx in advance FReepers, college_kid

We have a live one, ladies and gents: transcript exclusion of interview material by ABC! Whole segments!

actually im quite shock how much was edited out

[Jazz1968]

They played the whole thing on Nightline
They really hacked it up for World News Tonight

[pissant]

They butchered the hell out of it

That Palin challenged them on their half quote of her and they editted that out is outrageous. They were too cocky to check after an original source after the person who said the words challenged them or they are just liars.

I just watched her interview on 20/20. I think she was fantastic!

I think Charlie Gibson realized he made an ass out of himself yesterday and was on much better behavior for today’s interview. Gov. Palin looked great, sounded great. I think tonight’s interview (the one in primetime that will be viewed by the most people) was a solid triple.

Wow, this just begs the question: "Why did they edit all these sections out out?"

Any mention of a conservative's success gets automatically cut? "We cannot repeat the Cold War. We are thankful that, under Reagan, we won the Cold War, without a shot fired, also."

It's too obvious why all these comments were cut out: her comments would have re-ignited the same response she got during, and the week following, the convention. Another example of the elitist media trying to shape an election, disgusting.

There it is, Charlie Gibson, that liberal POS, altered her quotation (or some punk within ABC didn’t bother to really look up the quotation), and so they admitted the crucial introductory “Pray that.....”

Gibson insists he is quoting her exact words when he is not, in fact ABC has drastically altered the meaning of her sentence. ABC should be pressured to issue a public apology.

They won’t of course, because they are biased partisan hacks for the Demagogues, but an apology is in order.

Sarah is a conservative. There's nothing in her remarks about philosophical principles and the conduct of government any conservative would disagree with. I think Americans know where she stands. There's a steadfastness to her views people will find reassuring.

GIBSON: I take your point about Lincoln’s words, but you went on and said, “There is a plan and it is God’s plan.”

An obvious propaganda chop job to shield Gibson concession to Palin.

[Shelayne]

Oh my gosh.

They took a hatchet to her! This is blatant!

[pissant]

This is criminal.

Palin, complete interview ping.

Is there any word on how Levin obtained this? Is there other full transcripts of other portions of the interview? I dig a Google search and found zilch.

They shouldn’t have edited out “war is hell and I hate war”.

I don’t know if you would want this, but on John McCain’s blog it has what is said to be tonight’s program (complete) on video.
