If Palin is as stupid as you feel, would not giving her more media exposure drive the point home? Particularly on Fox?

I posted somewhere on here- I watched her on Oprah. Thought she seemed like a nice woman trying to do what she thinks is right. Liked her a lot more than I liked her when she was "campaigning" (I say that in quotes because actual campaigning is intended to draw votes- something she failed to do at every turn)
However, I certainly do agree that being on Oprah did indeed do just what you say- she did not look like an intellectual giant.
Having said that, I'm certainly not "over the cliff" about her being on TV. She wrote a book. Good luck with that. Hope she makes a lot of money. God knows she earned it after what she's been through.
But, as much as ever, I do not believe she is a good choice for President or Vice President. Shoot, I'd rather not have her working for me. I think she's the kind of person who would come to work on time, do her best, but ultimately make poor decisions. Nice as she may be, I don't think she has the horsepower for the job.
Okay, with that aside- you're not addressing the main point. That being there is an organization calling themselves "News" that sees no issue with substituting footage from one event for another in an engineered effort to make reality fit a preconceived idea. And that is a little alarming. And again I say, if ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or MSNBC were to do such a thing the back lash would be devastating.
