Sarah Palin has to be twice as good as any man to overcome media bias

YOUR report from Mira Oberman (September 13) on the Sarah Palin interview by ABC’s Charles Gibson manages to inject an extraordinary degree of misleading and condescending comment regarding the performance of the Republican vice-presidential nominee.

Charles Gibson continuously interrupted Ms Palin, and has been thoroughly criticised in the US for his bullying tactics and his deliberate distortion of her previous statements.

In fact, Ms Palin’s grace and fortitude under a sustained hostile line of questioning is what stands out from this interview.
