Katie Couric’s interview with Sarah Palin was nothing more that an edited verbal attack. If Couric is proud of this moment and the media feels it is deserving of an award, then the decline of this country has gone further than I anticipated. Since when is it the media’s place to create “defining moments” in a Presidential Campaign? The media is responsible for reporting UNBIASED news, or has everyone forgotten the difference between the truth and fiction. You should be ashamed. You call yourselves feminists when you are nothing more than plain jane liberals. The thought of a woman with conservative views and prolife goes beyond your comprehension. REAL women can have a career and raise a family without losing our self respect or our femininity. REAL women act responsibly and maintain personal accountability.
