Check out this article on the various pieces of Charlie Gibson's first interview with Sarah Palin. Looking at the parts of the transcript that weren't aired, it's clear this wasn't just editing for length—it was editing to put as bad a face as possible on Gov. Palin's answers. No surprise, but if you really want to know how well Gov. Palin understands foreign policy, read the article—and then go on and read the transcript.
It's enough to make me think that Glenn Reynolds is right: politicians who agree to interviews should bring their own cameras and post the raw video themselves so that people can see what really happened.

That's a really good suggestion. When I make my bid for Hegemon, I'll hire a cinematographer.

You'll have a tough time beating out Peter Wiggin, I'm afraid . . . :)
