Watch this ridiculous excuse for a news anchor interviewing Joe Biden. We had to make a new category just for her: ludicrous insanity. She digs with John McCain's talking points and lies in a way that is absolutely shameful. Joe Biden was absolutely masterful. Watch her softball John McCain in a way that is more like a job interview for press secretary than any form of journalism. Send a complaint to her general manager now.

Here's what we sent, to help get you started: Dear WFTV Gen. Mgr. - I have just watched the videos, online, of the interviews your Barbara West conducted - one with Sen. John McCain and one with Sen. Joe Biden. With all due respect, Update 1, 28 October, 2008 We received this response from WFTV today: From: "Eyewitness News (CTV-Orlando)" To: redacted Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 08:31:51 -0400 Subject: Web Form Submission Response Dear Viewer: Thank you for taking time to contact us regarding Barbara West's recent interview with democratic Vice Presidential candidate Senator Joe Biden. The Obama campaign contacted us last week offering Senator Biden, via satellite, for a short interview. Barbara West, one of our most experienced anchors, was asked to interview Senator Biden, just as she had been on previous occasions. It is our goal at Eyewitness News when interviewing any political candidate or public official to ask them a direct question about an issue currently in the public debate. Last week, when much of the political discourse centered on Senator Obama's statement to 'Joe the Plumber' that he thought 's...
He may be a gaffe machine, but he handled this crazy interview very well. He asked Barbara West if one of her questions was a joke. I love that. In 5 minutes he answers all the McCain Camps talking points. more about "Biden interview in Florida", posted with [...]
I love this reporter- it's about time someone asks questions that aren't rehearsed and forwarn- We need some real honest answers.... Biden can't answer any question without his teleprompter...and he wants to be a Vice President??? talk about not being qualified.... Barbara West... YOU ROCK! the only news out there that tells it the way it is... is Fox News.... no wonder the viewership is so much higher than other competinig news networks...
This is just sad. Worst interview I've ever seen. There's not even the slightest hint of non-bias or fairness. Every single question is designed to answer the question.
Why didn't Barbara West just wear her McCain/Barbie pin and be done with it? What's up with asking question that are no more than GOP talking points?I'm happen to say she got served as she well deserved. I loved Biden's final words which summed up this type of attack. more about "Best Interview Ever: Barbara West vs....", posted with vodpod
