Barbara Walters interview on The View with the McCains.
So on Friday, hard on the heels of the Gibson debacle we were treated to yet another remarkably biased piece of journalisms thanks to Barbara Walters and the View.
Every fair-minded person is complaining about this ‘interview’ now as well.
Taken with the Gibson and Palin interview, WHAT was ABC thinking?
We don’t need journalists as opinionated attack dogs, we need them to listen to both sides.
Even the debates are going to be tainted at this point unless someone reins them in to stick to issues, not personal slurs.
MSNBC removed two of their people due to their extreme bias. It is looking more and more like ABC is going to have to look seriously at their team as well.
Many people are saying it’s getting like Dan Rather and the fake papers against Bush at the 11th hour in the 2004 election to try to dent his chances.
That would be the last thing we need, because it is just swinging opinion as extremely in the opposite direction from what they intend.
After all, we want to weigh the issues ourselves, not be told what to think, or who to take the ‘high ground against’.
If we are supposed to believe that a political candidate can go beyond their own PERSONAL opinions and self-interest to work for the benefit of EVERYONE in the country, regardless of political affiliation, or even whether they can vote (eg, those under 18), we can and should be able to expect no less from news-related journalists, who are supposed to present us with FACTS, regardless of which way they have decided to vote.
