...they were hoping for a "Charlie Gibson/Katie Couric"-style AMBUSH!From truebluenz.com:Fortunately, they had THREE PROBLEMS with that plan:
- Senator Cruz was PREPARED for them, for the most part.
- This show was recorded "live-to-tape," so they could not EDIT his answers.
- WE WERE THERE, to help influence the "crowd dynamics." :)
Katie Couric and the Lefts Hate Offensive Against Sarah PalinNote to Cruz staff:-- snip --...she asked Mrs. Palin a series of 'gotcha' questions over a period of several days and then
cut and sliced that six hours of footage back to a 20 minute interview
designed to make Sarah look as bad as possible.-- snip -
...Mrs Palin writes how Couric continually badgered her and then
edited out her substantive remarks
in favour of a few weak responses to some gotcha questions...
Avoid TAPED interviews, in favor of LIVE ones that cannot be edited (as easily).
