The AP notes how CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric has been hitting a new high note in her career with her series of interviews with vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin and is finally getting respect. (It's better than rumors that she's moving on). Couric, though, says, “I’ve never really lost confidence in my abilities, which I guess is pretty miraculous. I didn’t really have a lot of platforms to do what I excel at, which is talk to people and do interviews.”
In the latest interview with Palin, Couric asked the Alaskan governor about her views on abortion (Palin would still advocate against abortion if a 15-year-old were raped by her father), evolution (it should be taught as accepted scientific principle, but "I won't ever deny that I see the hand of God in this beautiful creation that is Earth, especially coming from one of the most beautiful states in the Union and traveling around this country also in this last month"), and her church's stance homosexuality (she says it wasn't her church that said gays could be converted to heterosexuality--plus she has a gay friend, "I am not going to judge Americans and the decisions that they make in their adult personal relationships"). The video is below; transcript of unedited material here.
Couric also asked Palin about what media she reads to inform her world view; video is after the jump:
Couric said on the Early Show this morning that Palin believes the media coverage from the "media elite, the Washington elite" is biased because she's not a known quantity.

Wow, we made it all the way to 1:40 PM before a Sarah Palin story emerged. I was getting worried.
more drilling? we are in a energy crisis and that's what is being proposed? drilling offshore of alaska?
That headline is insulting to Rodney Dangerfield
and ironically still proves he gets no respect
Katie Couric is the Sarah Palin of News Anchors
You know, I don't know the exact pronunciation but I believe its called Ménage à trois.
"I didn’t really have a lot of platforms to do what I excel at, which is talk to people and do interviews.”
Um, because the Today Show doesn't include talk talk talk and happy interviews?
Or was she talking about shoes.
All the newspapers? How on earth does she find the time?!
The only reason Katie Couric looks good is because Sarah Palin looks so bad !
Wow. Terrifying. That said, I'm on phone to Time Warner cable for first time in years so I won't miss Tina Fey this Saturday.
FREE LEVI!
Haha, this is all really funny/sad. Katie Couric tried to get a good interview and no matter what question she asked Sarah Palin gave a really strange answer. I couldn't stop laughing though because I can only imagine what Tina Fey is going to do next!!!
Who knew that eyeliner-abusing former morning TV hosts with a master's degree in perkiness could practice good 'gotcha' journalism? Move over, Sam Donaldson, there's a new creepy coif in town.
