ABC's Nightline Introduction

"Good evening. She's been described as charismatic, she is most definitely Christian." (After an introduction teasing the topics to be addressed in this news report, Martin Bashir curiously gave this description of Sarah Palin. NewsBusters.org. Noel Sheppard. 9/12/08.)

Editor's Note: Why do you think the producers or this host felt this was both important and necessary to share with their viewers that she is "most definitely Christian?" Would they also say, "This person is most definitely a Jew?...or most definitely an atheist?" I think not.
