Biden slams reporter for stupid question

Update (4.00 / 6)

I heard that the station is being slammed today by the Obama campaign and other individuals for their lack of journalistic professionalism. Coincidentally, it turns out that the reporter's husband is a consultant for the Florida Republican Party!

The very least thing this reporter should have done if her husband is a political operative is recuse herself of doing any political reporting. Or, she should be bending over backwards to prove herself a fair and objective reporter. Obviously she is doing neither.  

Nothing is easier than solving a problem on the back of the poor. People who don't have lobbyists or clout.

Whaddya mean, Recuse Herself? (4.00 / 3)

Whaddaya think she is, some kind of journalist or something?

Ya gotta stop thinking in such quaint, 20th Century terms as "ethics in reporting" and "objectivity."

You'll feel so much better.

Repugs are trying to defend her. (4.00 / 5)

Fox noise and Morning Joe have come out and asked why Biden can't handle a hard question.

Sounds good to me.  To keep things "fair and balanced", lets put McCain on Olbermann and have Keith ask how McCain is not a facist.

They best be careful what they wish for (4.00 / 2)

Based on her demo video above, she could easily replace either of the blonde co-hosts on Fox & Friends or Morning Joe.

She's a former beauty pageant contestant! (4.00 / 3)

We should have known....

Prior to working in television news, Barbara West represented Vermont in the Miss America Pageant.

What the hell is it about republicans that constantly want to promote these barbie dolls? Democrats are real women!
