It’s not that the journalist should not ask though questions, is that they should not inject their opinion or their own agenda. I think it’s fair to ask about what Biden said about the next president will be tested but very few people believe that Obama it’s a Marxist and that his agenda is about socialism. For crying out load Warren Buffet supports Obahma, do you think he is Marxist or does Barbara West believe Obahma/Bin have a socialist Agenda and that’s why she asked the questions?

Wait, are you serious, Taylor? Last time I checked, politicians are, per our political system, trustees of the Public Trust. And, as such, they should not be given ultimate respect, but, forced to answer tough questions so the public knows who and what they are voting for. That is something the media used to do, but, now mostly only do to Republicans.

You think those were hardball questions?

This lady asked questions that were completely inaccurate. That’s why she received that type of response from Biden. McCain, Palin, and Obama would have been flustered in the same way. Flustered at the amount of inaccuracy spewing from these questions. How in the hell did those questions even make it to the telepromter?

I’m voting for mccain and I was shocked. Whoever wrote these questions clearly is buying into the smear campaigns.

You have to read the policies yourself people. These guys have only been running for two years now. If you haven’t read them, you better cram like you have a midterm next week.

:/flag Journalist today have never understood the repect that should be given to all political offices. It’s not that these parties should be held to a higher standard but they need to be respected for the office that that they are running for. Ed Bradley is rolling over in his grave. Walter Cronkite needs to come back and bring a sense of professionalism to the interview process. I would love to see the FCC fine and or revoke the licenses of these media outlets who place ratings and revenue ahead of the truth in media.

We have to hold these parties both left and right to a much higher standard! I am sure that some of these so called journalist stayed at a “Holiday Inn at some point to gain credibility.

We as Americans need more from the media.

To DP Oklahoma, One 4 minute interview and some tough questions for Joe Biden and you think there is no liberal bias in the MSM? get real!! She asked some tough questions to a guy whose been in politics for 30 yrs and he thinks its a joke or the question isn’t fair? He isn’t used to getting them obviously from the rest of the media at large. Poor guy…what abuse…So her husband is a Republican strategist. How many Democrat journalists are there in the US and who are they in bed with? I think you know the answer..You’re a former journalist? I’m glad.

I must compliment WFTV on the employment of Barbara West. She has authenticated WFTV’s fascist bona fides. Please continue to broadcast Ms. West as she makes your station a beacon for all of us who fight to stifle free thought, racial tolerance, and Christian values.

Pretty funny! “Hissy fit?” Biden can’t help himself from cracking up when he hears these wacky Hannity talking points coming out of the Botoxed orifice of this elderly small-town spokesmodel.

Why didn’t she just ask Biden why Democrats hate America, or what it’s like to work with a secret Muslim?

Stewie, got a bit of a grammar problem, don’t cha babe. Best way to drop troll shit at someone’s place is to make it poignant.

She asked questions that need to be asked, but no one will. It happened again in Pennsylvania with Biden.

How can we expect Obama/Biden to deal with world leaders when they can’t answer a simple question given to them by an American journalist?
