Cooked Crack Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Even an anchorwoman on Fox News called it irresponsible journalism. You know it's bad if it's below Fox News standard. Biden handled himself nicely. She must have been getting her questions from Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 She must have been getting her questions from Rush. It should be noted that she is married to Wade West, a GOP political and media consultant. Makes you wonder exactly where the GOP talking points question came from.

brandymac27 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Is this a joke? Biden calmly and completely answered multiple asinine questions from a clearly unprofessional news bimbo. My respect for him has just increased measurably, thanks for posting. Exactly. He handled himself very well considering the dumb questions he was asked. I can't say that I would have been that calm. Either way, this is an example of very irresponsible journalism and WFTV and Barbara West should be reprimanded for this in some way. I don't understand why these journalists/talk show hosts/etc. don't get in legal trouble for some of the crap they pull. And it goes both ways. Liberal and conservative media news outlets do stuff like this all the time and get away with it b/c they can easily say that they have a right to free speech and press. But what about when they are acting irresponsibly or telling blatant lies? People get sued for slander right? Why don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy94f Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I thought he did great in this interview. I especially liked the way he openly showed contempt for the way the questions were phrased. It was ridiculous and obvious. I'm glad they see that this station is a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy94f Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 How exactly did Biden get owned? Really I just can't see it. What constitutes owning someone in your book? Interesting question. I'd like to know exactly how he got 'owned' by HER in that interview. She embarrassed herself as a journalist by those obvious right-wing questions, but he straight out gave her the answer. He wasn't shaken at all by that markist crap but seemed really surprised that someone in the media would be that ridiculous. He handled himself way cooler than I would've in that situation. My bleeps would've been all over the Daily Show that very night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
