Couric Interview Would Be ‘Badge of Honor’ for Palin Today

Katie Couric told BuzzFeed News that says her 2008 interview with then-Gov. Sarah Palin during the presidential campaign would likely have been treated much differently if it happened today.

Palin was asked which newspapers and magazines reads and enthusiastically responded: “All of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.” Her response led to widespread mocking by late night comedians.

Said Couric: “I think there’s such a reverse snobbery about intellectuals that I think it would almost be seen as a badge of honor. I think that’s really concerning.”
