'I’m not a journalist … I’m a commentator': Meghan McCain reacts to Trump interview criticism
TheDC ^ | April 28, 2011 | Jeff Poor

Last week, Daily Beast columnist Meghan McCain sat down for an interview with potential 2012 GOP presidential nomination contender Donald Trump. The interview itself received criticism from many circles, and drew notice from both the right and the left.

On “Imus in the Morning” Thursday on the Fox Business Network, the daughter of the 2008 Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, responded to her detractors and had no qualms with such criticism.

“You know I’m not a journalist, I’m a columnist and a commentator and working on being a media personality and I’m not mean, if you need a hard hitting interview I will be the first to say don’t go to me, I’m too nice,” McCain said. “I don’t like asking people uncomfortable questions because I know what it feels like on the other end. He’s very hard to interview. I was trying to ask him real questions and he’s like, ‘I love you, I love your family.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, thank you,’ and I’m such a like dork. I go, ‘That’s nice’ and people are jerks. So I don’t know and I did it and got so much pickup and got a lot of crap from people. But I took him seriously and I think that’s why it got so much attention, because I was like, ‘Are you really going to Iowa and is your family ready?’ I’m sorry you thought it was too ‘kissy.’”

I was driving to Philadelphia when he interviewed “ Mayor Nagin”. (The bald headed guy “ I don’t remember his name”)and they went into “My Moms is in an attic, tryin’ to keep Bush from drownin’ her” From there it was hilarious. They did the same thing weeks later and poor ol’mom was supposedly dead and Nagin couldn’t get the body. I pulled over on the SureKill Expressway and laughed until I ALMOST pissed my pants. Imus was an A-hole but he was amusing. Right, DAVE? Dave ain’t here.

I’m glad she realizes she is not a journalist. Its a start.

She writes material published in The Daily Beast, which is "a daily record of events" - a journal.

She's a journalist. If an uneducated one.
