Tough questions? That "reporter" had an agenda. She also did not answer who was writing her questions.
You're right about her having an agenda:
On October 23, 2008, news anchor Barbara West, interviewed Joe Biden, VP Democratic candidate for the United States Presidency asking questions about Obama's affiliation with ACORN and Voter Registration fraud, comparing Obama's response to an earlier question from Ohio voter "Joe the plumber" to a quote from Karl Marx, and suggesting that Obama wants to turn the U.S. "into a socialist country much like Sweden."
The Obama campaign responded by canceling a subsequent interview with the candidate's wife, Jill Biden. The campaign's official statement was, "This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election" [5]
Barbara West is married to Republican strategist Wade West.[6] Wade West is "a popular consultant for political candidates ranging from local elections, to more than 85 members of Congress and members of the President?s cabinet."[7] In addition, West has made multiple campaign contributions to the Republican Party.[8]
Who da thunk it?
