We knew it from watching the Sarah Palin interview with Charles Gibson over the past two days. It was incredibly biased against Palin in terms of the tone, the questions, the lead-in pieces on 20/20 -- everything. Now The Anchoress has done a fantastic job of comparing and contrasting the way Charles Gibson interviewed Barack Obama three months ago, and how he chose to interview Gov. Sarah Palin:
Even the camera angle was designed to be prejudiced against Palin. She is filmed from the side and slightly with her back to the camera. …In contrast, the film crew placed the long shot camera facing Obama so at all times when he is speaking the camera looks him in the face rather than looking at his back.
…Obama was asked much easier questions mostly about feelings about winning, breaking the glass ceiling and 2008 campaign decisions. In contrast, Palin was asked numerous specific policy and military strategy questions that required extensive knowledge about treaties, U.S. anti-terrorism strategy and world history. And Gibson misquoted Palin… The following is a breakdown of the questions asked of the nominees:
Obama interview:
How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to “win”?
How does your family feel about your “winning” breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor’s [Clinton] speech?Palin interview:
Do you have enough qualifications for the job you’re seeking? Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren’t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]There’s no doubt the Charles Gibson interviews showed extreme prejudice against Palin and extreme favoritism towards Obama…He constantly questioned her ability to lead but never questioned Obama’s ability to lead, all the more amazing considering that Palin was the only one with executive experience and the presidency is the highest level executive job in politics.
There's much more at The Anchoress, so head over there to see the full report.
Here is video of Gov. Sarah Palin's interview with Charles Gibson that ran on ABC's 20/20 last night. ABC did such a cut and paste job on this interview that it is impossible to only post new portions of the interview. Much of parts one and two contain what has already been posted, with a few portions of new material interspersed. Part 3 is new material not previously posted. As a whole, the interview was clearly a "hitpiece" in my opinion. Gibson had a condescending attitude for the most part, and did everything he could to ask "gotcha" questions. At times he sounded like an apologist for the Obama Campaign.
Exit Question: When have you ever seen Barack Obama give a two-day interview; and when have you ever heard the media ask him hard and detailed questions?

Here is the third and fourth parts of Charlie Gibson's interview with Gov. Sarah Palin which aired tonight on World News Tonight. Gibson continued in "gotcha" mode, not really wanting to get to know who Sarah Palin is, but trying every conceivable angle to trip her up.

Sean Hannity with get the first cable news interview with Gov. Sarah Palin since she became Sen. John McCain's vice-presidential running mate:
Sean Hannity took issue with Charlie Gibson's interview with Gov. Sarah Palin yesterday, calling his question on her religious comments "out of context" and "totally misconstrued."
Now, he'll get the chance to conduct his own interview.
Hannity will interview Palin on Tuesday in Cincinnati on the campaign trail. The interview will air in two parts on Hannity & Colmes on Tuesday and Wednesday at 9pmET. It will be Palin's first cable news interview, and second after Gibson's.

UPDATE: Gibson's 2nd Interview with Sarah Palin will air tonight at 11:35 PM EDT on ABC's Nightline. Here are excerpts from that interview.
Politico.com has begun posting a "final score" each day to characterize "who won the day" - Obama or McCain. Today, they believe McCain won the day, largely because Sarah Palin "appears to have held her own" in her first big interview with Charles Gibson:
7:47 p.m.: Final score: McCain wins the dayBy: John F. Harris and Jim Vandehei
Today was a pretty low-key day, politically, so neither candidate gained or lost too much ground. But Sarah Palin confronted a major obstacle in her interview with Charlie Gibson - her first one-on-one as a vice presidential candidate - and appears to have held her own. It remains to be seen whether her opponents will find useful fodder in this interview, but at the very least she didn't deviate from the campaign message. McCain also held a successful event this morning in Pennsylvania - in a largely non-political news cycle, he didn't need to do much else.
The quieter news cycle could turn out to be helpful for Obama. His campaign has seemed off-balance during the last few days, so it was helpful for him to have a slower day to let the arguments of the week subside. Obama’s lunchtime meeting with Bill Clinton also produced a decent bit of good news for his campaign, with Clinton confidently predicting victory in November. But the big political story of the day was Palin, who seemed to avoid catastrophe in her interview.
This is a good sign that even the mainstream media knows there was nothing in this interview they can really use against Palin. She did a fine job and got through a big moment without doing harm. There will be many more challenges, but she is not going to melt away, much to the consternation of the Democrats.
