That Time Interview
A reader writes:
Your critiques of today's journalists came to mind when I was reading the recent
Time interview
with Sarah Palin. Go through the article and read only the bold text
and you'll see what I mean. The interviewer starts out with the
softball, "Did you feel that the institution of government was no
longer the best way to bring change about?" and then moves on to such
gems as, "Do you see [your resignation] as kind of a selfless move,
more for the state than for you?" and "What do you think is
particularly wrong with what Obama is doing now?"
Those questions read as if Palin wrote them herself. They aren't
even subtle; they are blatantly setting up her talking points. How can
anyone who works as a professional journalist ask questions like that
and still have a job?
That's the condition for their having jobs in the first place.
