The Media Equation – An Anchor Lets Down Her Hair – NYTimes.com
It is telling that when the McCain campaign was looking for a soft place to land Governor Palin’s first interview, they turned to Charles Gibson at ABC, not Ms. Couric. It would have been fun to watch given the implied subtext: “Hey, Governor, I invented spunky; I’ve had a colonoscopy on live network television, so let’s get started on yours.”
It didn’t take long for a discussion forum to show up poking fun at Vice-Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin’s religion/political platform, or what little is known about it. As best I can figure out, she plans to nuke the lower 48 and take her throne in Alaska.
Portions of the first major interview will be televised beginning on Thursday’s “World News with Charles Gibson” and “Nightline.” ABC will also air a special “20/20″ at 10 p.m. Friday devoted to the interview.
