The most interesting part of the article for me was the idea that “objective journalism” did not stem from any inherent morality or professionalism, but its ability to reach a wider audience. As a result, with the growing ease of distribution and the “nichification” of media, it’s not surprising at all that we are straying from this paradigm. This is why we need education, now more than ever, that can teach people to think for themselves.

Then why did the press attack her before the interview?
And besides, just one bad interview does not justify the deep passion and conviction with which many liberals loathed her.

not to mention if one bad intervew counts then what about a pressconfrence? like when obama stoped one half way through because his tellapromters broke and he dident know what to say? what dos that say?

He stopped giving a speech because his teleprompter broke, that makes sense. Sarah Palin was unable to answer simple questions. There is clearly a difference between the two events.

Yes, and I agree that the fact that she was unable to answer simple questions makes her an unqualified candidate. But it doesn’t mean that she deserves all the hate that the press has thrown at her.

I agree, but I also believe GOP leadership bears some responsibility here for not condemning some of the clear lies Palin spread to the public. I believe that Palin personally spread misconceptions and fear to the public for personal political gain.

Honestly, the only reason the press attacks her is because of her interview with Katie Couric. She messed up so many times that the media couldn’t ignore her if they tried. Just go to youtube and type in “sarah palin interviews.” THey’re good for a quick laugh.

Have you seen some of her answers to questions? They make absolutely no sense. YouTube it, and just watch.

You know, I always thought of her as the Alaskan Beelzebub.
