Bias


For anyone who doubts the bias of the media, take a look at this image I found on the Yahoo site today. It's an ad for the Charlie Gibson interview. Looks like Gov. Palin is calling the Iraqi war a "holy war". Wrong. Charlie Gibson asked her if we were fighting a "holy war". He was the one who used that term. She never used did, and in fact stated very, very clearly the exact opposite. Charlie Gibson quoted parts of a previous statement by her twice, both times taking each part completely out of context. It was disgusting, particularly for a "respected journalist". Watch the video here. Before you watch it though, here is what she said in her original statement: "Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God's plan."

UPDATE: Want a good side by side comparison of questions Charlie Gibson asked Barrack Obama vs questions he asked Sarah Palin, go here.
