conscientia mille testes
This is the kind of dishonest evocative rewriting of history the in the bubble media practices on a steady basis, I see it on my ABC affiliate just about everyday, from OWS to the debt. and Solyndra coverage.
ABC and most especially Sawyer should know better, but imho, they don’t like their versions of villainy to be challenged and just, to be fair, just may not know any better because they have lost their objectivity aside from being highly selective. I wonder how Jake Tapper feels about this?
Gabrielle Giffords Special Ruined by Gratuitous Attack on Sarah Palin, Tea Party
COMMENTARY | The ABC News "20 20" special with Diane Sawyer that chronicled the struggle of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords to regain her faculties after a brain injury as the result of a shooting in January was-for the most part-heart-warming and inspirational.
The documentary, which also contained the first public interview with Giffords since the shooting, was ruined by a gratuitous attack on tea party opponents of health care reform and on Sarah Palin toward the end of the one-hour special. A short segment showed Giffords confronting an angry crowd of constituents at a town hall meeting. Palin was shown briefly, as was the infamous cross hairs map.
The segment was shown without context or detail. As Giffords is deservedly a national heroine because of how far she has recovered, the segment gave the clear impression of tea partiers as an angry mob and Sarah Palin as the cause of the shooting.
ABC News and Sawyer committed journalistic malpractice by dredging up the old accusations without also showing evidence that debunked them. Palin and her map had nothing to do with Giffords' shooting, as was implied in the segment. Jared Loughner, Giffords' assailant, was an insane man who likely never heard of Palin and certainly was unaware of the cross hairs map. Yet ABC chose not to mention this.
