A transcript of the unedited interview of Sarah Palin by Charles Gibson clearly shows that ABC News edited out crucial portions of the interview that showed Palin as knowledgeable or presented her answers out of context. This unedited transcript of the first of the Gibson interviews with Palin is available on radio host Mark Levin's website. The sections edited out by ABC News are in bold. The first edit shows Palin responding about meeting with foreign leaders but this was actually in response to a question Gibson asked several questions earlier:

Of course they edited her interview. IMO, the broadcast was a designed to be a kind of entertainment and poor quality entertainment at that. I disagree with many of the woman's opinions, but strongly support her right to have them heard in full.

In principle I am opposed to writing more laws, but I'd like to put forward a motion to ban all 'interviews', sound bites, and such. Further, we should require all candidates to speak only in live forums taking questions only from registered voters.

And while I'm wishing from up on my soapbox, I'd also like to see a list from each of the camps describing three prospective candidates for appointment to the Supreme Court no less than four weeks prior to the election. :)

The thing that I liked was the Rick Warren debate between Obama and McCain. Mostly, I like the idea of having each candidate answer each question without hearing the other candidate's answers.

Also, if a person from each campaign has to answer the same question, it will be much harder for some interviewer to ask unfair questions of just one party's candidates.
