Palin Sets 1st Media Interview As Nominee
Posted on: Sunday, 7 September 2008, 21:00 CDT
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will sit for an interview with ABC News, her first since accepting the GOP vice presidential nomination, the network said Sunday.
ABC said Palin will be interviewed, but did not say when the session would be held.
Palin has made a series of campaign appearances with Republican presidential nominee John McCain but the campaign has rejected requests for most media interviews. Campaign manager Rick Davis said on "Fox News Sunday" that Palin "will do interviews" on the campaign's "terms and conditions."
"She's not scared to answer questions," Davis said, "but you know what? We run our campaign not the news media."
McCain campaign officials have criticized media coverage of Palin, alleging sexism is behind questions about whether the mother of five can handle the responsibilities of the vice presidency.
Campaign aides said Friday she was being assisted by several foreign policy experts in preparation for a debate with Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, scheduled for early in October. Palin has little foreign policy experience but is a quick study with sound judgment, said Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella, The Washington Post reported.
