We're Not All In Agreement On This But Trust Me, It’s Coming.She's Outta There!
Yeah, that's right - I said it.
Katie Couric's interview with John and Elizabeth Edwards on 60 Minutes was a DISASTER! Already trailing ABC and NBC in the evening news race, CBS got hit with over 600 negative emails. Ouch!
So what did we learn - insight to the type of presidency Edwards has to offer - ahhh, no! What we learned is don't piss off cancer survivors. These folks are all about beating the big "C" and continuing the journey, not being a burden.
When you ask the tough questions - you gotta be direct, "Are you trying to garner sympathy and votes by having your wife continue in your 2008 White House campaign?"
Don't be a weenie like Katie - asking the same question 16 different ways and always beginning the question with deflecting preambles like, “Critics say…”, Your detractors question … Some would say …, Some would believe … Others say...”
Katie we know your own husband died of cancer, so you have the credibility, maybe not the ratings, but credibility - yes.
And listen, if ya’ going down, at least go down a journalist, not some unforgetable, desperate "host".
