Anchors Weighed

Candidates aren’t the only ones whose debate and interview performances are being scrutinized. So are TV anchors, reporters and commentators.



Was Charles Gibson condescending in his questioning of Sarah Palin? Does anybody know what he meant when he asked if Iran was an “existential” threat to Israel? What does Sartre have to do with the Middle East?



The ongoing clashes between MSNBC’s people and the candidates – or among themselves – are part of the same story. Not to mention everybody at Fox.



Now the question is being raised here by some Democrats: Did Pam Saulsby of WRAL unfairly badger Bev Perdue during the gubernatorial debate last week?



Media bias usually is in the eye of the beholder. But TV reporters and commentators be on alert: You too will be held up to scrutiny.
