Gibson, the Biased ABC Media Bully [looking down his nose from up on high]:
"Please take off your American flag pin. The American flag is an abomination now prohibited by ABC News."
"The Times got it wrong. And Charlie Gibson got it wrong.
There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings,
each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration--
and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today.
...... I know something about the subject because, as the Wikipedia entry
on the Bush doctrine notes, I was the first to use the term."

Comparison: Gibson Questions for Obama (and Edwards in 2004) vs. for Sarah Palin
Obama's Puff-piece interview:
How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to win?
How does your family feel about your winning breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitors [Clinton] speech?
Palin's 'kangaroo court' interview:
Do you have enough qualifications for the job youre seeking?
Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Arent you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]
"Charles Gibson of ABC News was out for blood and inherently applied
a double-standard compared with the kid gloves George Stephanopoulos
used on Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois on Sunday night.
Gibson was out to embarrass Palin and expose her presumed ignorance from the word go. "
UPI Say ABC Exhibits Double Standard
ABC News Edited Out Key Parts of Sarah Palin Interview
Yes - thanks for the list
Hey Diogenesis,
Could you explain why the background in that photo of the interview you posted differs from the so called “full interview” posted on the ABC site here? http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=5793131
Your background has a flowered garden, which looks like it was taken in the late spring or summer. But the background in this ABC site is of Gov. Palin’s backyard, nice enough but no profusion of flowers, as you would expect in September in Alaska. The furniture is different, too.
What am I missing. Were there two interviews or two sites in this one interview? Did they edit the surrounding scenery of Gov. Palin’s home?
Target, Glade Scented Oil (SC Johnson), Plavix, Advil PM, Verizon, BlindsTOGo, Magic Eraser (Mr. Clean), Stop and Shop, Toyota, Bali Bras, Ghost Town (movie), Prilosec OTC, Verizon Wireless, Ethan Allen, AT&T, Werther Original Chocolates, Garnier Hair Products
Great post. I'll boycott with you, Diogenesis.
Take a good look in the mirror Charlie, you've been marked by the Devil.
I wrote them all as I use most of these products. I got your typical ‘thanks for the feedback, but we don’t choose advertising based upon the political message of a program.’
I wrote back saying ‘that’s fine w/me but I expect you to remove your advertising from the show in the future since they’ve proven to be extremely biased and unfair. If not I will continue to refuse to purchase any product produced by your company.’
Thanks for the list though - I’ve sent it to many.
