I e-mailed ABC news: I’ve lost all respect for Gibson. The interview was worse than condescending; it was dishonest.
I lost no respect for Gibson over this. He didn't have it from the start. Nor did Rather, Brokaw, Koppel, etc. in the last two elections, nor did Jennings and Russert when they were alive.
These a-holes just don't get that we are on to them. They don't realize that the people who "blog in pajamas" also vote, and that when they don't vote, their side has a better chance at winning (witness Carter, Clinton, and the 2006 midterm).
That's why I didn't put any stock in any part of the interview. All these bricks (rhymes with) in the media are going to do is drive the base that much closer to McCain and Palin, and then like good little lapdogs, they'll be wondering what happens when Uh-bama and SloJoe go down in flames on Election Day.
We should be angry at the expected treatment, but let's channel the anger to something productive - keep putting out the truth (as lies are their side's baseline), and convert our anger into turning out the base, and anyone else who is outraged by this.
