Charles Gibson of ABC News has been awarded the first interview with VP candidate Sarah Palin, to take place later this week in Alaska. Here is a short excerpt from an article announcing it -- to read the entire article click here.
"Why would we want to throw Sarah Palin into a cycle of piranhas called the news media that have nothing better to ask questions about than her personal life and her children?" Davis said. "So until at which point in time we feel like the news media is going to treat her with some level of respect and deference, I think it would be foolhardy to put her out into that kind of environment."
Palin's Democratic counterpart, Sen. Joe Biden, a veteran of the Sunday talk show circuit, challenged Palin to sit for interviews.
"Eventually she's going to have to sit in front of you like I'm doing and have done," Biden said on "Meet the Press" on NBC. "Eventually she's going to have to answer questions and not be sequestered. Eventually she's going to have to answer questions about her record."
Gibson, in the Web log posted the day after Palin's speech, said he thought it was a very successful night for her.
