When Sarah Palin wrote about being covered by the television networks in Going Rogue, her memoir of her Campaign 2008 Vice-Presidential run, of course the networks' correspondents were going to cover the story. NBC's Andrea Mitchell zeroed in on the fishing trip she took with Palin this past summer. Palin wanted to see Mitchell and her colleagues "banging around in a skiff, stuck in the mud, trying to pull themselves back over the bow." But it was a peaceful sunny day: "Dang it! None of them got slimed."
CBS' Jeff Greenfield examined Palin's story of being "lulled into a damaging series of interviews with Katie Couric." According to Going Rogue, Palin aide Nicolle Wallace--who worked at CBS News as a political consultant before joining John McCain--"convinced her to do the interview, assuring her it would be favorable." Greenfield contacted Wallace: "None of the conversations Palin quotes in the book ever took place."
