Edwards Defends Couric’s Probing Interview

Youtube clips of the interview

ABC Wrote:

During the interview, Couric probed the Edwards’ decision to continue campaigning for president, despite the news this week that Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards has been diagnosed with incurable bone cancer.

Criticism of Couric’s interview surfaced in the blogosphere, some suggesting the interview was ‘insensitive’ and ‘callous’.

However the Edwards campaign said Mrs. Edwards felt the interview was fair.

Why did Edwards defend her?  It is better than looking defensive over somthing that a lot of people probably were thinking, plus, Edwards base of support consists of Couric (or former-Couric, as the case may be) viewers.  They’d probably rally to Edwards’ side anyway, given the cirucumstances (because even if you’re thinking the cynical, you’re not supposed to say it), but best not to risk it.
