She did a wonderful job on the Biden special.

Even the controversy in Biden's past was handled with class.
And the parts narrated by Kerry warmed my little old heart

I hope all of you catch it :)

2. I didn't like it and felt it was a bit of a hatchet job. Where was the mention

of Biden's work passing the VAW act or any of the great things he has done during his time as a Senator. His words about Hillary was shown out of context and the stuff about his son's job was unneccessary. I hope Palin gets the same treatment otherwise I am pissed.

5. I watched part of the Palin piece and it was mostly about all the questions surrounding her.
I agree that they didn't talk much about his accomplishments, but overall I thought it was well done.

Of course they have to include some negativity, but compared to that hit piece CNN did on him last week, this was 100x better.

Faux is doing one on Biden tonite also. God help me - I'm going to watch.

6. Yeah they did, but they ended it on a positive note each time.
Of course they are going to talk about '88; gaffes---but
did you hear what they said after the Bork hearings? That Biden changed the way judicial hearings are held forever. Even during the discussion of Anita Hill, they were being understanding with the situation.

I thought it was well done.

Wish they wouldve talked about mraps, Vawa, crime bill.

Wouldn't you just die if Faux is the one that gets it right? Not holding my breath.

7. I'm mixed on it. Started out well enough,
but was downhill from the coverage of Anita Hill on.

They didn't mention the 100,000 cops program or his work on women's legislation. Made it appear that he hadn't done much pushing of legislation but does a whole lot of talking.

I didn't really care for it on the whole.

9. Like I said in the other thread...
they try to define Biden by his missteps, not his achievements. That's the sad thing. I have to say though, I am so proud of Obama for picking him, however, Obama would have had my support, with or without Joe.
