I thought that is what you did here on this thread - attack sources - you attack mine (FAIR) I attack yours (Levin). What fun! This is fun - right David, of the beguiling orbs.
I questioned the interview write up on Levin's site because I watched the Palin interview on the web yesterday morning and all those questions were in the interview. I am being intellectually honest, I saw the interview in its whole, and wondered why Levin was claiming 'gaps'.
Perhaps I should say that you are being dishonest - you saw the complete interview, shown on ABC, and then teased the members of this site with the 'edited out' post. You knew the interview was shown in its entirety - yet, you deliberately misled people on this site into thinking that some evil left bias was happening.
I never said that "Levin's site distorted the transcript." Nor did I say that he was a "liar". I just wanted to know his source, which isn't on his page. Please, don't put words in my mouth - you seem to be rather interested in putting things in my mouth...
At the top of the Levin site it says:
"EXCERPTS: Charlie Gibson Interviews Sarah Palin (September 11, 2008)
THE BOLDED & UNDERLINED PARTS WERE EDITED OUT OF THE INTERVIEW"
Somewhat of a misdirection. Would it have been so difficult for you or Levin to add the words 'prime time broadcast'? (I still can't find what Aztec is saying about Levin mentioning timeframes - do you have that link Aztec?)
They only edited it on the prime - time show, as they often do for time constraints - Nightline (as you mentioned) and the web has the entire interview. If you read the transcript of the interview with Obama in July - there were about 5 minutes edited out of that interview that didn't appear on prime time broadcast TV (compared to what looks like about 3 minutes edited out of the prime time TV broadcast of the Palin interview).
Obama's interview included over 20 questions about the middle east. Half (that's 10 Foss) questions were essay type questions.
You can see the transcript here:

Gibson asked Sarah Palin 7 questions about the middle east, 5 were essay-type questions. You know where you can find the transcript - right?
Now, I admit it is just one interview for Palin - and there should be more to come (I hope so, I do watch them, and I am very interested in finding out more about her and her stands on various issues).
I will have to look into that cutesy mask - The one with the cute little fox ears? The fuzzy tail too? Oh, that's right - first we have to deal with the whole 'mercy screw' issue - well, toothsome tush, I don't think its this 'hack' that is begging for anything.
