ABC gives Palin the royal treatment

ABC got the first interview with Sarah Palin, and it looks like they're paying back.

She gets a prime time ABC special which "will also include a bio of Palin by ABC's Kate Snow," as well as placements in every ABCNews show from Good Morning America to Nightline.

(PS. The way they're structuring this, Gibson gets multiple mini-interviews over two days, meaning he knows he can't ask the killer questions until the last session or he'll be cut off. That being said, think they'll cut that last interview section?)

(And, You gotta wonder what kind of journalist accepts these conditions.)

  • I know you've pointed out how the print media has "turned" on the Straight Talk express, but it's the broadcast (and cable) media that matter when it comes to informing public opinion.

    In corporate broadcasting there is NO distinction between Access Hollywood and ABC News... It's all about entertainment and ad revenue.

  • That's a good point. Because it's been rare for the TV folks to say anything of the type.

    Although I would also say the print people usually hit the newer narratives first.
