In an hour-long special on Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Arizona) and her miraculous recovery, ABC's Diane Sawyer ruined it in a segment about the Congresswoman's political future.
Sawyer praised the Congresswoman as being "upbeat" during the "unsettling" 2010 campaign season in which she received "vitriol" from her constituents. Sawyer then linked these events to someone shooting her office door while including a sound of a gun being shot. Continuing, Sawyer says Giffords was "targeted" by Sarah Palin. Cue video of Palin speaking and the ad which had a cross-hair on Giffords' district. Transcript below:
DIANE SAWYER: "So does Gabby Giffords really want to go back to Washington? Back where she was once called 'the most positive person in Congress.'
"Staying upbeat, even during the unsettling campaigns of 2010. When we all watched opposition sometimes become vitriol. After she voted for health care, she faced people in her district calling her a 'traitor,' booing her in town halls.

Further proof that the liberal media isn’t just biased. They flat-out LIE.
>>>Giffords owes Palin an apology. Period.<<<
Absolutely. And your comment reminds of one of my finest bosses of all time from Ketchikan, also named Williams. He had the ability to cut through the crap, and do it with a smile.
Diane Sawyer has “targeted” Sarah Palin with cheap shots, but the blanks missed the mark.
Must be sweep weeks. They save the sensational stuff for then.
She’s a terrible “Journ O List”
And the most annoying voice on TV “newscast” EVER . the worst
“...the thousands of American soldiers and Marines who are coming back home...”
I agree with you. Whenever someone who suffers tragedy is given national publicity, I think of the many other tragedies that go unrecognized.
As far as Palin and the Gabby shooting is concerned, Palin gave an excellent summation of it. I’d give a link to it but am too lazy.
That scares them to death, and she probably will.
Defamation.
Take your Geritol, Dianne.
She's not even qualified to be a weathergirl who points at the Sun on the Weather map and says, “Sunny today”
Any person in a lunatic asylum picked at random would have better chance at presenting the news accurately that this sell-out to the Marxist cause.
What the heck did Gifford do except get shot in the head? She hasn’t had time to blame Palin or anyone else because she’s BEEN TRYING TO RECOVER FROM A BULLET TO THE BRAIN!

“Giffords owes Palin an apology”
Do you mean Sawyer rather than Giffords?
Do these people REALLY confuse a MAP MARKING with a CROSSHAIRS? or do they only LIKE to stay confused when it involves Sarah Palin?
I don’t know how she kept her job after going on the air stewed to the gills:

Um... wierd how the mind works. I read “Sawyer.” But on the second reading... Must need more coffee.
Of course DS forgot to mention the media ‘targeted’ Palin when she came on the scene.
I absolutely 100% agree!
To quote Giffords, “yes yes yes yes.....brave....no no no.....yes.”
