The leftist assaults on Sarah Palin have been unrelenting. After less than a week in the public spotlight, the media were demanding that she give interviews, said that she was ducking them etc.
Palin is a really bright and articulate person and since she doesn’t tow the media line, and since she is about to obliterate the media template of ‘the powerful woman’, the attacks have been merciless. When she finally sat down with “Charlie” Gibson of ABC News, the picture was clarified.
Palin obviously had to be uncomfortable because she knew that they would be gunning for her in the person of Gibson who has been called the least biased of the major network anchors. But this interview proved that Gibson is just “one of them”. Look a the interview picture on the ABC News website. Gibson is practically pushed up against Palin. Did he invade her space?
The body language was telling. Gibson sat unsmiling and positively sneering over his half-glasses, the kind of treatment that Obama never gets. When Obama gaffes and says “my Muslim faith”, Stephanopoulos gently corrected him and the Ancient Media have barely mentioned the comment. If Palin had made any such statement, it would be all over.
