Media Bias?

Charlie Gibson obviously has no respect for Sarah Palin. I've never seen an interview conducted where the person being interviewed was treated with such disdain. The questions were asked in such condescending manor. Up until I saw how John McCain was treated on the "View" recently, I had never seen an interviewee disrespected so badly. Asking questions to reveal Sarah's position on the issues is relevant, however the way this interview was conducted was inappropriate. Charlie Gibson should be ashamed of himself.

Here's a sample of the types of questions Charlie asked Obama in an earlier interview compared to questions asked to Sarah Palin.

Obama interview:

How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to “win”?
How does your family feel about your “winning” breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor’s [Clinton] speech?

Palin interview:

Do you have enough qualifications for the job you’re seeking? Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren’t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]

Do you notice the bias? Or is it just me?
