Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has agreed to sit down with ABC's Charles Gibson later this week for her first television interview since John McCain chose her as his running mate more than a week ago.

Palin will sit down for multiple interviews with Gibson in Alaska over two days, most likely Thursday and Friday, said McCain adviser Mark Salter.

The interview with Palin was confirmed Friday, ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Or ABC will lose all credibility as a news source.

No they won't. Fact is no matter what questions are asked some will think they were to hard, other will think they were to soft. Some people will think some questions shouldn't have been asked, some will think some questions should be asked that were not. Whatever they do they are going to get slammed by some and praised by others and it will have no effect on them whatsoever.

If, as many are saying, they agreed to pre-conditions on which questions will be asked, then it's not a credible news interview and their credibility itself goes out the window.
