Obama campaign cuts off WFTV following today's Biden interview

[stoge18]

I've watched this a few times and love the way Biden handled this "interview". This tool, Barbara West, clearly has an agenda. She's certainly no journalist. There are some pretty funny freeper comments on the Orlando Sentinel blog. See URL below:

1. I watched that video. She sounded like a female Limbaugh wannabe.

Sad thing is, the people who watch her probably thought she did a great job!

2. Satellite interview. Would she have had the nerve

to ask those questions had Joe Biden been sitting there beside her? I doubt it.

Go Steelers!!!

3. The reporter was so stupid that it was almost funny

Those were some of the dumbest questions that I have ever heard. That station should be embarrassed having asked such silly and ignorant questions.

11. No kidding! Think she'd ever heard of Karl Marx before?

I doubt it... I wonder if she thought she was going to put Biden on the hot seat? What a joke... I also wonder how many people from the station were invlved in this little scheme. I doubt this woman came up with this stunt on her own.

That was flinging stupid allegations.

5. The station is proud that they asked the "tough" questions.

So, will they interview Palin and ask her why her husband was a member of a political party that hates America and wants to secede from the Union? Will they ask her why she won't release her medical records? Will they ask her why she billed the state of Alaska for her children's travel to political events? And many more?
Those would be tough questions!

8. Talk about loaded gotcha questions,

each one was worse than the one before it. Biden did good though. Oh and screw that right wing hack inquisitor.

10. News director: "They usually give you five minutes"

WFTV news director Bob Jordan said, "When you get a shot to ask these candidates, you want to make the most of it. They usually give you five minutes."



Heh. Apparently not any more, "they" don't.

16. Biden did very well.

"I don't know who is writing your checks"....classic. I think Biden handles the Rightist MSM better than Obama.
