Charles Gibson’s interviews with Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will form the basis of a special prime-time edition of “20/20″ Friday, ABC said Wednesday.
Gibson is traveling to Fairbanks and Wasilla, Alaska, for the first TV interviews with Palin since she was selected as John McCain’s running mate. The first excerpts of the talks will be shown on “World News” Thursday.
Gibson is having three separate interviews with Palin, ABC said. Parts of the interviews will be spread around other ABC news programs, including “Nightline” and “Good Morning America.”
The prime-time special, at 10 p.m. EDT, will also include a bio of Palin by ABC’s Kate Snow and a round-table discussion on the presidential race moderated by George Stephanopoulos.
After all, as Rick Davis said, this campaign is not about the issues.

ABC has proven itself particularly ignoble over the course of this election. First blatantly partisan in favor of Hillary Clinton, apparently it’s decided it needs to fawn over Palin.

I saw the first part tonight on ABC evening news.
She’s an idiot and she pronounces nuclear “NEW-kew-ler,” just like Bush.
Yeecch.

I think the interview will hurt more than help. I only heard the bit about the Bush doctrine, but I understand that seeing was believeing (or more likely disbelieving…deer in headlights?).

I saw bits of it, too, KZ. I swear she sounded like she was on a job interview bullshitting her way into a position she isn’t qualified to handle. Oh wait…that’s exactly what she’s doing.
