CBS Harry Williams exposed by Rudy Giuliani

According to Newsbusters: On Friday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Harry Smith talked to Rudy Giuliani about Sarah Palin’s performance in an interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson on Thursday’s World News and Giuliani observed: “The whole issue of whether she knows world affairs or not, these are questions that were never asked of Barack Obama, never asked of him to this day.” A visibly upset Smith vigorously denied such bias: “That’s not true. That’s not true.” Giuliani continued: “To this day he hasn’t been asked these questions, about travel-” Smith kept up his defense: “That’s not true. That is absolutely not true…That is absolutely not true. Those — all those questions have been asked over the last 19 months.” Giuliani got in the last word: “I don’t know where.”

Harry can only come up with “That’s not true” to hide his bias? Lets go one step furthur.

Despite Smith’s assertions that Obama has been pressed on his foreign policy credentials, since October of 2007, Smith has interviewed Obama eight times and asked the less than one-term Senator a total of two foreign policy questions. The first question came in a December 18, 2007 interview in which Smith asked: “Obama is positioning himself as a candidate for change, particularly on the war. Were you a fan of the surge?” The second question occurred on April 2, 2008: “And there is concern about China’s violations of human rights. Should we be a full participant in the Olympic games?” On July 9, 2008 co-host Russ Mitchell hit Obama from the left on the troop surge: “What do you say to those folks out there who are saying ‘I voted for this guy because he told me he was going to bring the troops home in 16 months now he says he wants to refine his position.’” None of those questions challenged Obama’s qualifications to be President of the United States.

During the Friday segment, Smith went on to ask Giuliani: “Let me ask you this. Do you have every confidence that she’s ready to be president in case she needs to be?” However, on February 29, 2008 Smith interviewed Time magazine editor Richard Stengel, on a story in that publication about whether experience really matters in the presidency: “The question of experience dominating the Democratic campaign, does it really matter?…Time Magazine has two articles on the subject, on the issue that hits news stands today. ‘Does Experience Matter in a President’ and ‘The Science of Experience.’” Stengel explained: “…character trumps experience…It’s really the way you are as a person. Your temperament, your intelligence, all of those things make up for what you may lack in experience.”
