"The double-standard Gibson applied to Palin, compared with the uncritical media platforms repeatedly offered to Obama, who has had zero executive experience running anything, was especially striking."

You can put white wash on a fraud, but he is still a fraud.

Gibson was out to embarrass Palin and expose her presumed ignorance from the word go. By contrast, when Obama referred to his “Muslim faith” on Sunday and did not correct himself, Stephanopoulos rushed in at once to help him and emphasize that the senator had really meant to say his Christian faith.

Oh yes, it will. The American people are not only fed up with the double standard and blatant partisanship of the MSM, they are fit to be tied over the arrogance and condescension.

Did UPI jump off the Obama boat?

Gibson’s performance makes me appreciate the guys at Fox News even more. The Fox guys, while they would ask the tough questions, would never be so condescending to Barack Obama or Joe Biden.

The MSN homepage has another Palin hit piece, emphasizing her "mistake" in not understanding the pre-emptive strike policy, under title "Palin defends record" - implying that her record is so substandard that it needs defending.

Makes ya sick.

I thought at first she should have gone after Gibbon but by holding her temper she should a greater professionalism.

Well, I don't know if it was intentional, but her attitude of friendliness with Charlie only made him look like an idiot pinhead professor, with his oh-so-superior body language.

Also, I don't know if it was intentional, but her comment, "Did you know you can see Russia from Alaska," with a great big innocent smile, seemed to me a little trap for the "intellectual." At the very least it caused him to become even more supercilious.

If one compares the softball interviews and lame answers Obama had 19 months ago, one would have to walk away with a feeling that this thing was outrageous. Charlie Gibson came across as a jerk trying to score condescending cheap points. Give Sarah Palin three interviews and she’ll have the drill down.

Then maybe they can start actually asking Obama questions other than, “How did it feel to grow up without a father?”

NEW DEBUNKED LIST ENTRIES

Palin would go to war with Russia if they "attacked another country"-DEBUNKED

Palin did not know the "Bush Doctrine"-DEBUNKED

You can't see Russia from Alaska-DEBUNKED

Palin said "“Our national leaders are sending them (our troops) out on a task that is from God,”-DEBUNKED

Palin thinks Dinosaurs were around 4,000 years ago (as actor Matt Damon mentioned)-DEBUNKED

Palin claiming Iraq behind 9-11-DEBUNKED BELOW:

This Washington Post page A1 story claims "Palin Links Iraq to 9/11, A View Discarded by Bush"

"Gov. Sarah Palin linked the war in Iraq with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, telling an Iraq-bound brigade of soldiers that included her son that they would "defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans."

Nowhere in the article does it quote Palin saying Iraq was behind 9-11. It was al Qaeda who "planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans".

According to Obama's own website:

"Under the Obama plan, a residual force will remain in Iraq and in the region to conduct targeted counter-terrorism missions against al Qaeda in Iraq"

So Obama promises to keep troops in Iraq to fight al Qaeda, the group who carried out 9-11, just like Palins son will be doing.

"Whoever wins, the ugly old cultural and political divisions in America remain -- and they are deeper than ever."

Sadly, a truer line was never written.
