Marcy’s post was far more erudite than mine.

I love how Katie has become a sidekick in the parodies of Palin, that she has been seen hundreds of thousands who didn’t tune in for the interview itself. Palin via Youtube drastically shifted the perspective on how we become informed of current events.

It’s like the populist theaters of Rome where current events were shown as comic plays, the satirical pamphlets of London and Paris in the 18th century.

This really is an important ’story behind the story’. Good discussion at EW’s on this topic, also. It’s a big, seemingly small thing.
