Definitely a feel good interview from CTS Television’s Always Good News, a newscast which prides itself on reporting on the brighter side of life.
Connie Smith’s interview is definitely a breath of fresh air when compared to the one done by ABC’s Charlie Gibson, a purely partisan affair which was edited to portray Palin as ill-informed and unintelligent.
Thanks to Blazing Cat Fur for posting this video. It definitely helps with all the nonsense we are seeing on a daily basis on both sides of the border.
UPDATE: I would like to say a little more about Connie Smith’s professionalism in this interview. Although her and Sarah Palin disagree on socialized health care, Smith showed far more character than others in the media who would take any opportunity to smear the former Alaskan Governor. Unlike Smith, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews lacks even an ounce of character, something he proved today by attacking Palin for being “a professional ignorant”. Stay classy Matthews… Pathetic…
UPDATE: Sky News’s Robert Nisbet is pushing a story about how, according to Steve Schmidt, that all of Sarah Palin’s answers for the televised debate with Joe Biden were all scripted. While off topic, I would like to discuss my feelings on this pseudo-fiasco, especially since there is no end in sight to these anti-Palin attacks. First off, Nisbet is grasping at straws if he thinks anyone will take what Schmidt has to say seriously. Even before Sarah’s book, Going Rogue: An American Life hit the stands, Schmidt has been trying to protect what’s left of his reputation by attacks her’s. He has been linked to one falsified story after another about former Governor and no serious reporter is paying attention to this nonsense anymore. Nisbet does himself, as well as his news agency as disservice by publishing this story. That isn’t all however…
After reading the comments for this article, it is clear that too many Americans still believe Sarah Palin is some stupid fake who has no right running for any public office, especially not for President of the United States. As we are seeing with Barack Obama, voters, encouraged by a partisan media, elected an ill-informed and highly inexperienced candidate to lead. How is it that he is experienced enough to be President while lacking the executive experience Palin has in abundance? As for claims of her stupidity, I think her list of accomplishments, especially the Alaskan Pipeline, show that she is far from the intellectual inferior that mainly in the media try to portray her as.
I like watching interviews with Sarah Palin, especially this one with Connie Smith I posted, because it shows her to be what many of us have known since John McCain put her on the ticket; a bright, enthusiastic woman with a deep affection for her state and country. It is because she is such an honest and genuine person that so many want to see her fail, as Nisbet’s story proves. Even without a credible source, this pathetic excuse for a reporter will do whatever he can to smear Palin…
This campaign against the former Governor has gone on long enough and it makes those involved look downright pathetic… Mind-boggling…
