ABC Distorted Palin Interview With Misleading Editing

The problem with treating the alphabet networks as if they were legitimate news services and not propaganda outlets for the left wing of the Democrat Party is that they will not hesitate to betray the trust placed in them by twisting information any way they can to advance their malignant objectives. A case in point is Sarah Palin's interview with the condescending ass Charles Gibson of ABC. The interview was heavily edited so as to portray Palin as a belligerent warmonger who wants to attack Russia. But look what Palin had to say that was left on the cutting room floor (via NewsBusters):
That manifestation that we saw with that invasion of Georgia shows us some steps backwards that Russia has recently taken away from the race toward a more democratic nation with democratic ideals. That's why we have to keep an eye on Russia.
And, Charlie, you're in Alaska. We have that very narrow maritime border between the United States, and the 49th state, Alaska, and Russia. They are our next door neighbors. We need to have a good relationship with them. They're very, very important to us and they are our next door neighbor. […]
I'm giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it's in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.
Not exactly sword-rattling, is it? That's why it was cut out, along with plenty more that didn't help ABC package Palin as an extremist.
Demonizing Ronald Reagan as a war monger who would get us all killed by picking a fight with the Soviet Union didn't work out too well for the Left. But fools learn slowly.
Next time Palin does an interview, why not just let Daily Kos conduct it? At least then no one would mistake it for the real deal, and not a politically motivated distortion.
If you want the propagandists at ABC to know you can see through their cheap tricks, here's contact info.
