Posted from Crooks and Liars...check it out. http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/wingnut-news-wftvs-barbara-west-give The Jed Report put together this little video mashup of WFTV's Barbara West, giving us a nice side-by-side contrast of her respective interviews with Joe Biden and John McCain.
You can see the full Biden interview here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW_wQgWviZ8 and the full McCain video here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOCF0t2BkqQ
The latter is especially instructive in that we see just how far out there West is; mostly she's obsequious to the point of outright cheerleading with McCain, and her idea of a "tough" question for him is to ask him why he's not being wingnutty enough!
OTOH, you've just gotta love when she quotes Marx and then asks Biden why "spreading the wealth" isn't Marxist. Someone's been drinking the Bircher Kool Aid, which is in fact a direct ticket to Planet Bizarro.
Well, over at Firedoglake, http://firedoglake.com/ they have a petition up asking for the station to apologize for sponsoring such bizarre behavior and such biased treatment. Go sign it. http://action.firedoglake.com/page/petition/apologyplease
