Palin needs to learn not to do q&a's where she has no control over the final content.
Simply making and controlling her own audio tape and a network provided transcript will go a long, long way in stopping this nonsense. Fifteen years ago there would have been no way of seeing what was edited out. Now days with bloggers we'll see everything as long as the raw data does not head down the memory hole.
ABC has been pro-Democrat, anti-GOP, for a long time . . . back in the '90s when the GOP took control of the House, ABC's Canadian-born anchor, the late Peter Jennings, chided the American people thusly in a radio address:
"Some thoughts on those angry voters. Ask parents of any two-year-old and they can tell you about those temper tantrums: the stomping feet, the rolling eyes, the screaming. It's clear that the anger controls the child and not the other way around. It's the job of the parent to teach the child to control the anger and channel it in a positive way. Imagine a nation full of uncontrolled two-year-old rage. The voters had a temper tantrum last week....Parenting and governing don't have to be dirty words: the nation can't be run by an angry two-year-old."
