Sarah Palin & Katie Couric

No matter how hard I try to stay focused on fair and objective journalism, I often get accused of being more conservative than liberal. I try my best to hear both sides of the political spectrum because I don’t believe that either side of the political view is necessarily always correct. I believe that in most cases, both sides have very different but valid points on most issues. The biggest flaw that I see is how emotional people get when their view or political belief is challenged. It’s human nature to defend one’s thoughts and beliefs, but people today take it so far that they often close their minds to other possibilities.

My post with Joe Biden and Katie Couric’s interview was undoubtedly not one of Biden’s best moments in front of the camera. Therefore, I felt it was necessary to show one of Sarah Palin’s less than perfect moments, which happens to be with the same reporter. In this video Palin clearly fails to prove that she’s confident in tackling the big issue of the Wall Street bailouts.

About a minute into this video, Couric asks Palin if she supports the $700 billion bailout. Instead of answering, she begins to ramble on about how “ill” she is about the position America is in, while never coming close to a yes or no. This interview clearly leaves voters questioning her ability to tackle the big issues concerning America. Like I said from the beginning, this should be an interesting race to watch.
