Proof of ABC’s Bias

Here’s the parts of the Palin interview that ABC left on the cutting-room floor.

They’re the parts, of course, that would hurt their carefully-crafted theme that Palin is a religiously-obsessed, warmongering whacko. Just one example:

Palin’s answers about a nuclear Iran were carefully edited to the point where she was even edited out in mid-sentence to make it seem that Palin favored unilateral action against that country:

PALIN: We have got to make sure that these weapons of mass destruction, that nuclear weapons are not given to those hands of Ahmadinejad, not that he would use them, but that he would allow terrorists to be able to use them. So we have got to put the pressure on Iran [and we have got to count on our allies to help us, diplomatic pressure.

GIBSON: But, Governor, we’ve threatened greater sanctions against Iran for a long time. It hasn’t done any good. It hasn’t stemmed their nuclear program.

PALIN: We need to pursue those and we need to implement those. We cannot back off. We cannot just concede that, oh, gee, maybe they’re going to have nuclear weapons, what can we do about it. No way, not Americans. We do not have to stand for that.]

Bolded and bracketed text is what you never saw. RTWT.

Tip o’ the hat to Insty, who has an op-ed explaining why candidates need to bring their own cameras to interviews from now on.
