Shame on You, Charlie Gibson  email this discussion to a friend?

In Sarah Palin's recent interview with Charles Gibson, he misquoted some remarks Palin made at her church in asking the congregants to pray about the Iraq war. Gibson claimed she said the soldiers are on a mission from God. He had taken her comments completely out of context and when she explained she was speaking as Lincoln had, when he admonished people to pray about the Civil War in the same way she was admonishing the people in that congregation to pray about the Iraq war. Here is a transcript of the comments he was "citing" in the interview.

” 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,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”

I say Palin's comments were completely appropriate and she was not intending to say that the war in Iraq is God's doing. She was asking for them to pray that God will give wisdom to our leaders and direction to the war. What do you think?

This is nothing new. NBC did it to President Bush by editing out part of his answer. Some interviewers even ask one question several different way and choose the question to go with the answer they want. In the interview Mr. Gibson asked her several times about supporting Isreal if they bombed Iran's Nuclear Power Plants. She responded with the same answer we can not second guess Isreals need to defend its self. He was trying to get her to give him a sound bite and she refused to fall into the trap.

You're right the MSM do it to everyone. I'm glad Sarah Palin is too clever to be reeled in by their tricks. I thought her answers to his questions during the interview were great. I like to set the record straight whenever I can when the liberal media tries to make one of the good guys look bad by manipulating their words. It is just plain irresponsible journalism. They should be held to some kind of standard, but who is going to make them measure up? I guess it would take a boycott from a few million displeased viewers.

They also edited out the part when she said to him "That was not my exact quote." Clearly they had an agenda.

I think one good thing about that interview was that Sarah Palin made Charlie work overtime to try and shake her up. She made him look kind of foolish, and I think anyone who watched the interview could see what he was trying to do.

Clrumfelt,

Charlie Gibson, Katie Couric, or the other yoyo for MSM HAVE no shame! They blatantly show their allegiance as Obamites in every way possible and their slobbering faithfulness is obvious at every turn of events!


myLot reputation of 79/100. clrumfelt (1907)   ranked 133 out of 3,984 in politics  4 years ago

I couldna said it better myself. The MSM do look foolish trying to make Obama look better than the other candidates. I sure that task is a full time job for them, and the slobber is getting pretty deep this election season.

I was looking on the info about that interview how Charles Gibson tried to make himself look oh so important, but whenever there was a conservative, he wanted them to look small and insignificant so the viewer will disregard them. And guess what there are some people who will believe him to be right. It is a media ploy to get someone who is extremely liberal into the White house. If he can discredit McCain through Palin, that is what he will do.

Charles Gibson appeares very smug and arrogant in that interview. He was definitely rude to Palin, and I think it will eventually blow up in his face. What goes around comes around.

The fact that someone still believes in a loving GOD scares the pants off these people.

I didn't get to see the entire interview is it posted anywhere? Unedited?

Charlie did look a little pretentious with his glasses on the end of his nose like he was scolding a kid while looking down on them. Palin doesn't go for that crap and she let him have it. I can't stand listening the liberal media, the problem I have with them is they think they are right and nobody else should even be heard. Those goofs are going to be out of job one day and their "I'm better than you attitude" won't get them very far. I don't care about one thing they say, I do listen because I want to get both sides but when they just start picking fights because they want to get a rise out of somebody that's not journalism, that's fear. The Fairness Doctrine seeks to put conservative talk out of the listening ears, I say legislate a doctrine that silences those who vote for such a doctrine. Wouldn't it be nice to see them cut Naggy Pelosis mic time, ahhh, such sweet silence.

Yours is a good summary of Gibson's attitude in the interview, and of good reason why we all could stand up and applaud if all of these liberal media jokers were put out of their jobs tomorrow. Thanks for your input.
