Post-Election Interviews

One of the ways in which the media is holding on to the last threads of the election frenzy is by scoring the first post-election interviews from the candidates. John McCain chose to give his first post-election interview to Jay Leno from NBC. Check out some highlights here:


Sarah Palin gave her first interview to Greta Van Susteren from FOX News. To read some of the highlights, click HERE.

As for our president-elect, Barack Obama, the press is all over him and his family, covering topics from his meeting with George and Laura Bush, to what breed of dog he will choose to take to the White House and why.

My guess is that as we move farther and farther away from the election, the media will start covering increasingly ridiculous stories just to keep up the hype. Case in point: BBC News - Choosing the First Puppy.

I agree with you on the media not knowing exactly what to cover--the elections over, they've already been talking about race (I mean, how much can you talk about this before you grind it into the ground?) and it seems their still looking to unearth some stuff about Palin to keep that whole controversy and comedy alive. It's over, it happened and it's done...let her go back to Alaska (as much as I loved all the satire on her...!)
