Barbara West's Audition Reel For Faux News Channel
Daily Kos —
So you might have heard about Barbara West, that TV anchor from Orlando, Florida who asked Joe Biden some pretty crazy questions (such as whether Barack Obama was preaching Marxism and whether he wanted to turn the U.S. into a socialist nation), but you probably didn't see the questions she asked John McCain, and you probably didn't see the real doozy of a question that she asked Biden when they last interviewed, in September. I've put them all together in one highlight reel destined for the desk of some EP at Faux News. I'm not going to spoil the surprise of her Biden question in this post, but if you watch until the end of this clip, you'll get one helluva' ...
Barbara West’s GOP Agenda-Driven Journamalism: Tell KFTV To Apologize!
Firedoglake —
It's a tale of two interview subjects and one GOP-agenda-driven "journalist." And what a tale it is. JedReport took a peek at KFTV's Barbara West and interviews with Joe Biden and John McCain. The side by side comparison is astonishing.
Watch the clip and you'll see exactly what I mean: bias, ...
Barbara West should be fired
LiberalOasis : The Blog —
There are some things that really have been repulsive in this election season. Over the weekend Joe Biden did an interview with a Florida television station. The questions were simply the worst Republican talking points, ever. KFTV needs to apologize and fire Barbara West. There is a difference between a political operative and a news reporter.

O'Reilly Interviews Biden Interlocutor Barbara West
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Last night, Fox spitting-head Bill O'Reilly sat down with Florida news anchor Barbara West, who told O'Reilly that her daffy questions to Joe Biden represented "serious issues!" and that "we are running out of time!" O'Reilly thought that her questions were "fine," naturally. None of this surprises you, the reader, I'm sure. Fittingly, in the clip of the interview O'Reilly shows, West is shown gravely quoting Marx as if she were a serious adult, and asserting that widely debunked falsehoods -- like that Obama was a community organizer for ACORN -- are true, as well as making it sound like his efforts to compel the State of Illinois to comply with the Motor-Voter ...

The 10 Worst Media Moments Of 2008
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
OK, now that we've celebrated all the good things that media professionals managed to grace our world with this year, let's skip ahead to a listicle of lowlights, which is probably what you all really want anyway, since everyone runs on schadenfreude these days and is filled with impotent rage!
Anyway, as before, many of you will agree and many will disagree, and that's cool! Please do! Especially if you want to comment or send an email about it! But note that I've left off a lot of examples that many of you will no doubt feel are obligatory inclusions. For instance, I can already predict an email complaining that Bill O'Reilly doesn't make this list. It ...
