The Media Interview

If I hear one more player say during an interview, “we just do what we do”, I’m jumping out a 10-story window. Don’t hate - I just gotta do what I do.

A lot of people were confused about CBS’s reasoning behind the much-publicized interview with soccer star David Beckham, which was slated during the Super Bowl broadcast:

From May 2006 here’s one person’s perceptions of how the two front-runners in Sweden’s elections came across in the media. This blogger is a writer and communications strategist, which explains some of the detailed analysis, but I think it’s a good articulation of what the average person might be feeling subconsciously and which may also be influencing their voting (buying, approval, or whatever one is hoping to garner from a media appearance).
