... Republican candidates accountable if the media would perform the same task with Democrats. Yet no major media outlet has reported on Barack Obama’s long association with and defense of William Ayers, an unrepentant domestic terrorist, nor have they pressed him on his lack of executive experience or the absence of any significant political accomplishments except his own elections. We await that interview with great anticipation and no hope whatsoever of it ever occurring. Update : Newsbusters takes a look at the ...

What Palin Really Said About Russia
RedState: Conservative News and Community —
... The headlines clearly play into an image that the Obama campaign
is trying to project of Palin: hotheaded and untrustworthy. They
play into a long-standing image that Democrats have tried to force
on Republicans -- that of being warmongers. But the media would
have had a harder time writing such headlines if ABC hadn't
hacked up the interview the way they did: ...

... . The press, specifically ABC News and Charles Gibson, is the side that's doing the distorting, according to McCain's backers online. The network edited out portions of Palin's interview, making her seem less knowledgeable about foreign affairs and more hawkish than she really is, writes P.J. Gladnick at Newsbusters. Gibson gave a "gotcha" question to Palin about the "Bush Doctrine" that voters care little about and that involved a theory that is more a media invention than a White House policy, writes Townhall's ...
ABC Distorted Palin Interview With Misleading Editing
Moonbattery —
... not propaganda outlets for the left wing of the Democrat Party is that they will not hesitate to betray the trust placed in them by twisting information any way they can to advance their malignant objectives. A case in point is Sarah Palin's interview with the condescending ass Charles Gibson of ABC. The interview was heavily edited so as to portray Palin as a belligerent warmonger who wants to attack Russia. But look what Palin had to say that was left on the cutting room floor (via NewsBusters): ...
ABC's Shameful Double Standard
The Discerning Texan —
... When you consider the comparative softballs that Gibson lobbed to Obama/Edwareds vs. his condescending "interrogation" of Sarah Palin, and then you couple this gaping disparity with ABC News' decision to edit out ALL of the context in Palin's so-called "controversial" answers, it is impossible to reach any other conclusion besides the obvious: ABC in the tank for the Democrats, every bit as much as MSNBC, NBC, CBS and CNN. ...

... to me than whether Howard Rosenberg’s cat laughed is whether that exchange fairly sets forth Palin’s response. As Allahpundit put it right after the interview: “Did she really give a non-answer that goofy or did they just smear her by editing it that way? I would have given them the benefit of the doubt earlier but not after botching the prayer quote.”
We now have the answer: they smeared her by editing it that way.

No More Mister Nice Blog — RIGHT-WINGERS LYING AGAIN: "EDITED" PARTS OF PALIN INTERVIEW WERE BROADCAST Right now, right-wing bloggers are working the refs by proclaiming that the mean old liberal media edited the Sarah Palin interview to make Sarah Palin look uninformed.

This year's vice-presidential debate will matter far more than most, largely due to lingering questions about Palin. But I also believe that a strong Palin performance will put these concerns to rest among those for whom this matters (i.e. those who, unlike David, might vote for McCain), and reinforce the meme that the mainstream press is out to get her (and help elect Obama). Selectively edited TV interviews will not have the same force as an unedited debate. As for what ...
