Choose Sarah Palin's Most Cringe-Worthy Moments

RANK: 1
Sarah Can't Name Any Newspapers Or Magazines She Reads
On September 29, 2008 CBS aired one of the many parts of an interview Katie Couric did with Sarah Palin. In this particular installment, Couric asked "what newspapers and magazines did [she] regularly read..." and Palin responded by saying: "I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media." Couric pushed further asking "what ones specifically?" and Pain said, "Umm... all of them. Any of them that have been in front of me over all these years."

...maybe she just didn't understand the question...

The Coverage

Here's how the networks and cable will cover the Michael Jackson service, via TVNewser:

• ABC: Charlie Gibson will anchor live coverage "Remembering Michael Jackson" at 1pmET, joined by "Nightline" anchor Martin Bashir. Some updates: Diane Sawyer, in NY, and Barbara Walters, at the Staples Center, will co-anchor a special edition of "20/20" at 9pmET. Sawyer and Elizabeth Vargas will also co-anchor "Primetime: Family Secrets," a report on Michael Jackson's children at 10pmET. Cynthia McFadden will also anchor "Nightline" from the Staples Center.
• CBS: Maggie Rodriguez and Harry Smith will anchor the "Early Show" from the Staples Center tomorrow. Katie Couric will anchor special coverage of the memorial at 1pmET and the CBS "Evening News" from the Staples Center. Couric will also do "48 Hours" at 10pmET.
• NBC/MSNBC: NBC will televise the memorial service at 1pmET, anchored by Brian Williams. Chris Jansing will anchor MSNBC's live coverage. Meredith Vieira will broadcast live tomorrow at the Staples Center for "Today" and Williams will anchor "Nightly News" from LA Tuesday.

No word if the Home Shopping Network, the Disney Channel, QVC or Nickelodeon will be breaking from their regular broadcast schedules yet...

Basically it'll be the opposite of the Billy Mays coverage...

Kudos for Katie

CBS and the rest of the media didn't give Katie Couric a long enough chance to prove herself before the naysaying set in. Like her or not, she's demonstrably different than any other solo anchor on an evening-news broadcast (Those legs! Those eyelashes! Come on, when Dan Rather uncrossed or fluttered, it just wasn't the same), and she needed a long time to change people's perceptions of what one should be. So we were pleased when she hit the ball out of the park this fall with her political coverage, particularly her devastating interviews with Sarah Palin.
Her rising star has not only made life comfortable enough at CBS but according to The New York Times, others are looking to steal her: NBC News executives are currently considering her for the most coveted job in political journalism, as the next moderator of Meet the Press.

Sign-O-the-Times

The national debt clock, the unofficial tracker of the federal deficit maintained by the Durst Organization in New York, has reached its limits. Last month, as the national debt exceeded $10 trillion for the first time, the clock ran out of digits to record the number. The dollar sign in the clock had to be deleted and replaced with a one to record the massive number.

Letterman Reacts to McCain Snub

He may have canceled an appearance on one CBS show, but Senator John McCain will appear for an exclusive interview on another.
Katie Couric gets the only evening news interview with Senator John McCain since his decision to temporarily suspend his campaign and his call to delay Friday's debate.
David Letterman says he was told McCain canceled because he had to go back to Washington, D.C., but his interview with Couric was happening as Letterman was being taped up the street.
