The Media - Charlie Gibson
Poor Charlie.
It should be a good lesson for the media that when stray too far from fair and balanced in the treatment of a popular person, you are going to incur the ire of those who know about those things.
And even though this is a Canadian article, I think Americans are seeing very clearly what role the media is playing in this presidential election.
And it's NOT "fair and balanced"!...

On Canada's Free Press website, Yomin Postelnik criticizes Charlie Gibson:
"It’s well known and well documented that Charlie Gibson is liberal. But he generally seems to be a well meaning, likeable liberal. He has only a cursory view of the economy, of geopolitics, in truth, of any significant issue, and a disinterest in all things military. But he’s a genuinely nice man, albeit one who is tremendously influenced, at least as far as politics is concerned, by the spiteful New York elites.
When the left has a cause celebre, he will regularly join hands with them, but on his terms, in a milder and gentler, and hopefully more fair manner. But his interview with vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was way over the top. In fact, it was downright hypocritical."
