Nothing Barbara West has done in her 22 years at WFTV-Channel 9 has generated the attention of her interview last week with Sen. Joe Biden, Barack Obama's running mate. The contentious chat has become an Internet sensation -- 1.2 million hits on YouTube during the weekend and more than 500,000 on WFTV.com -- and generated controversy about how journalists question their subjects.
Now, they're going after this anchor lady's husband, just as they went after "Joe the Plumber," when the real issue is not who is asking the question, but what answer is given.
Mrs. West has since been interviewed by Larry King on CNN.
