I blogged a while ago about my pre-interview nervousness, and mentioned I'd interviewed Fox News' Ellen Ratner and her partner Cholene Espinoza, author of an excellent new book on Hurricane Katrina, Through the Eye of the Storm.
They were terrific to interview, and afterellen.com just published it this morning:
Ratner advises anyone with a cause to promote in the media to always be prepared for tough questions. What tough question would Ratner like to ask, and of whom?
She answers: “I'd like to ask Bush and, really, all elected officials, the question I asked Tom DeLay, right in front of dozens of reporters: Did he have any gay family members or staffers? Did he know any gay people at all?”
Also, I reviewed the film Saint of 9/11 for AfterElton.com.
"First of all, Ratner rejects that characterization. “I do not consider Fox ‘right wing.' They have an editorial viewpoint, but that's not reflected by the news department,” Ratner insists."
What world is she living in?
