Gibson's interview

[SHRED]

Does anyone know how it was structured?

Were the questions known in advance?
Was prior approval, before airing, needed from the Palin camp?

1. No journalist or news organization would ever ask questions known in advance

They would be drummed out of the business.

[Jane Austin]

2. But would Gibson? n/t

[Fluffdaddy]

3. Gibson's a fair middle of the road kind of guy.

I don't think there was any funny business

[alsame]

4. Did you see the Obama/Hillary debate he co-hosted? n/t

[Fluffdaddy]

7. Don't think so...................There was to many debates for me to watch then all

[alsame]

10. You should try to find the debate online and watch it - I assure

you, you will not think Gibson is 'middle of the road' after you do.

[Fluffdaddy]

11. I remember reading/hearing he threw softball questions to both sides

[alsame]

12. No, he was trying to destroy Obama, especially about taxes. You

really should watch it and see for yourself.

15. true

he did attack Obama.

Palin's interview was just a little tough on her. He did say that her answers weren't really answers. And he did question her fundamentalist stances and she failed at making it clear she wasn't a fundie.

I think Chuck got hurt by us after he attacked Obama. He felt our wrath.

6. Did you watch the Clinton/Obama debate

with Gibson as moderator?

BTW, if the Bradley effect worries you, you should check into the (Ed) Brooke effect.


(Edited to correct misspelling)

9. I don't remember. (Ed) Brooks effect? please post me a link

[Jane Austin]

13. No link.

Lawrence O'Donnell mentioned it either on AAR or MSNBC the other day.

Ed Brooke was elected US Senator from MA in the late sixties. Some of the worst race riots happened in MA in the 60's.

O'Donnell suggested that few people like to think of themselves as racist, and if there is a respectable, to them, black person to vote for, they will and then they can say, "See, I'm not a racist. I voted for Ed Brooke."

[Fluffdaddy]

14. Ahhh The reverse Bradley Effect , I'll take the votes any way we can get them

[misanthrope]

5. Haven't you heard?...

...Palin is being excoriated like no other person in American history.

[Bob Dobbs]

8. Yes. No.

It was bad enough that they supplied the questions ahead of time.

Final edit approval would not be acceptable, even to corporofascist whores like Disney.
