An award for Katie Couric

Why? Even on the tone, basis, organization, and presentation there was no clear cut message in that interview with Sarah Palin. Sarah came out a loser, or did she? I guess it is one of those "she said-she said" deals depending on which side of the political street you are on. Why an award for such an onerous interview with classic shenanigans and tactics of manipulation? Is this the best Ms. Couric could do? Or, is this another slam from the Left-Wing media to put down a rising star in the Republican Party. I have not watched Ms. Couric in years, have no desire to watch her, in fact after the interview with Governor Palin I have absolutely no respect for Katie Couric as an interviewer.

It was reported there were questions about abortion rights and Couric would not accept any answer Governnor Palin gave since she was against abortion. Ms. Couric attempted to manipulate Governor Palin's answers but to no avail.

Our country is sadly divided - Media Right and Left. It's not getting any better. President Obama promised he'd work with both sides, no he won't and hasn't. But, there are some Republicans who have forgotten their roots as well, what are we going to do. Elections in 2012 is our day of reckoning.

As for now, we have to deal with the absurdities of the media that put value on a low-life interview of no merit, and we need to move on and strive for better results. Governor Sarah Palin has not let the media do her in, even as they persecute her family and continue to discuss the problems of her daughter and the baby, and other private matters. I know it is not uncommon in this day and age, but is there nothing sacred?

Governor Sarah Palin is the one who should be receiving the Cronkite media award for enduring the poor interviewing tactics of a professional.
