Barbara West, Please Quit Your Job Because You…
October 27, 2008 by James Hipps
Recently, Barbara West of WFTV News in Orlando, Florida interviewed VP Nominee Joe Biden. Watch this feeble attempt at journalism from an obvious McCain supporter.
Now, here is a copy of the email I sent her (I just couldn’t help myself):
As a reporter, writer and editor (and a member of the NLGJA) I am APPALLED at your attempt to disgrace the media by your interview with Joe Biden. Your party preference is SO obvious and the questions were a joke, yet at the edge of racist.
I have been involved with a much greater amount of philanthropy than you and now I know why. You are a republican. But even worse, you let your party affiliation show and for no other reason than trying to make a name for yourself. That is NOT journalism, that’s an embarrassment.
Do us all a favor….QUIT YOU JOB! Your ignorance is striking. Your reporting is a travesty. If you want to work for the republican party, I’m sure they’ll hire you. They are always looking for those who will mislead and not be ashamed to do so.
Barbara, you are a very poor example of a journalist. I must say though, that your questions, even though slanted, leading and stupid, provided an excellent opportunity for Senator Biden to directly counter that type of moronic line of questioning. In a convoluted manner, you did the Obama/Biden ticket a great favor. Thank you, and I will pray you find a suitable job for yourself.
