Bill Smith, Editor: Five days ago, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had her first major media interview after being coming the vice presidential nominee for the Republican Party. She agreed to meet with Charlie Gibson on "ABC World News Tonight." Every since that interview, the media pundits have been weighing in with their tate-to-tate. I was one of many who were shocked that Charlie Gibson did not act with his usual demeanor of being a gentleman. It was rather disappointing, to see Gibson both demean himself and Gov. Palin by his behaviour. Gibson seemed to leave his role of investigative journalism and appeared to be competing for the roll of the former Tim Russert and his bulldog' approach. Gibson's proved that he is "no Tim Russert." While Russert was a bulldog, he did not allow his mannerisms or actions get out of hand during an interview. Gibson evidenced that he was intent on attacking (even mocking) Sarah Palin. I guess working for ABC and needing to bring home stories that support the ABC liberal agenda, is now getting to Charlie Gibson. Here are a few recent published comments on the interview:- ABC's bungles: Botches mar Palin interview
