Sarah Palin's Couric Test, cont'd
TIME's James Poniewozik takes apart the latest act of journalism that CBS News's Katie Couric has committed on Sarah Palin. This time, McCain tagged along, and the results were only a little bit better. An excerpt:
Let's be fair: John McCain and Sarah Palin weren't claiming that a question from a voter was "gotcha journalism." They were claiming that for Katie Couric to have the temerity to take Palin's answer to a voter seriously was "gotcha journalism." That, of course, makes all the difference.
