The nation's panic after the Wall Street crash is probably Sarah Palin, the Republican Vice Presidential candidate. Palin has created quite the uproar in media with her sheer lack of intellect, and not to mention experience. She is in fact in everyone’s conversations, SNL skits, and YouTube videos. Never has the presidential candidate captured the attentions of so many so apprehensively. Ruling out Palin’s experience, the recent interviews she has conducted reveal absolutely nothing beneficial to alleviate her position in politics. In fact, her recent discussions with Charlie Rose, and Katie Couric expose her to be more dim-witted scaring all Americans that she would only be a “heartbeat away” from becoming the president if John McCain wins the election.
In Katie Couric’s interview with both Senator John McCain, and Sarah Palin; Katie Couric repeatedly interrogates Palin with the questions she avoids with other irrelevant answers. When Katie Couric points out that Palin had made herself a hypocrite on her answer to Pakistan’s situation, she blatantly says that media is misrepresenting her with “gotcha journalism.” Senator John McCain goes on to support her by first implying that the media caught her off guard. It’s quite appalling that they choose to blame journalism for toying with her words to make her appear less intellectual, and fit for the critical position. Even when the public has low trust in the media; through the interviews the citizens are able to get a realistic view of the individuals that are put on the spotlight with the help of reporters. Whether contentious or uncertain to the public eyes, today journalism adheres to the code of truth by bringing the element of scrutiny into democracy.
