I’ve worked in TV news and the way that interview was edited was a complete abomination.

A supposed top-of-the-line network news organization just put on a piece of edited footage that looked like it was done by volunteers at a community access channel.

Just watch any of the news magazine shows on the networks, they have smooth, slick edits between questions and answers.

The way this interview was presented was a complete travesty.

She obviously didn’t give them any ammunition from her words, so, they did everything possible in the editing process to make her look bad.

I am absolutely appalled and disgusted.

One edit was so rough that you can see Gibson's Head position change dramatically in a nano-second. I've seen better stuff on youtube.

Absolutely. I wouls love to see what it is they cut out — probably answers that came across better than her Bush Doctrine answer.

Did they only shoot with one camera? I have not seen the entire interview, but I did see an excerpt and it showed no over the shoulder shots (on both sides) and the set up was on her right mainly facing Charlie who was angled toward the camera and the angle of the camera was a subtle placing of him slightly above her and on the dominant right side of the frame.

In essence this all adds up to seeing just a side view of her (we see a whole lot of her calves) and not her eyes, which in the shot I saw is quite objectiving in itself. Whereas Charlie is the main subject in that long shot. Based on just that set up, I am unsure if they have a larger variety of shots in the piece, it doesn't allow us to connect with her or even see her clearly really. Hope they showed more shots than what I saw.

The editing sounds like a hit job as does the interview. Where did people see this thing? It all sounds like a disjointed piece of poo.

Any negatives from this interview will also reflect poorly on Gibson. Some real stupid questions that any answer would be subject to interpretation. I doubt they try to spin too much from this.

I missed the opening, but the closing that addressed her comments in church about Iraq being a mission from God I thought she answered vaguely enough. God has a plan for all of us, and for everything. How many of us have heard that in church.

The thing is ? while they are trying to make her look bad... they are condescending and complacent... they should be worried because we are watching them like a hawk.
Were are the missing edit clips from this interview ABC ? what are you hiding ?

While I sympathize with your frustration I don’t know why you would think it would be anything but a hatchet job. It’s only going to get worse.
