According to MSM mavens, this is most likely just an amazing coincidence.

It was a repeat of the Seinfeld episode where his latest girlfriend morphed into Ugly with shadows on her face.

ABC did a hit job on Sarah

Charlie was the one who didn' know the answers to his won questions ( Bush Doctrine or the " Bridge to nowhere)

The legend lives on Sarah

Charlie will see his ratings go south.

It’s called forced perspective, and one little thing out of place can break the illusion. The supremely arrogant leftscum at ABC, though, probably figure most people don’t know this. And sadly, they are probably correct, so their “it’s just an amazing coincidence” lie will work. That is, unless we expose them!

Spot on. The MSM bias cannot be hidden any longer. Now people just need to be educated that it is actually happening.

Since nothing in a high-visibility television interview is left to chance, you can be very sure that decisions about camera angles and such stuff were made by producers before the interview took place. In particular, the decision as to how to frame Gibson and Palin was most definitely not some sort of random decision by a low-level camera operator.

I mentioned this to my wife while watching. They made it look as though Gibson was towering over her. Even the side angles were affected. That, coupled with his schoolmaster pout made him look like a buffoon.

Nah, only the libs watch him now. And in any event, there's not that far South they can go...

Palin is also a foot shorter than Obama. Just saying - they’d have to put her on a stack of phonebooks to get the same shots.

The “footage” I’ve seen , had the speech a little ahead of the video, made for a semi-bizarre situation for an interview. I’m sure many have witnessed this......

I would like to refer everyone to this thread, posted by our FRiend 'waus,' which goes more into exactly how ABC used editing tricks to try and make Governor Palin look bad.

“Did ABC attempt to put Sarah Palin at a disadvantage to give the viewer the worst possible impression before she was asked even the first question?”

The answer is obviously yes. One technique used, and Gibson's staff used it, is to put the interviewee in a lower chair. This was done in the Palin interview. I one takes a close look at both of their chairs it's easy to see that the base of Palin’s is lower than Gibson's. Some interviewee's bring a phone book to sit on so to bring themselves up to the same level as the interviewer.

No matter how this campaign comes out, the MSM are the big losers.

The emperor has no clothes.
