But, seriously, the interviews are not really the deciding factors. How stuff is covered and how aggressive the socalled journalists and reporters are, is what will decide it.

I think you missed the point - the media gave Palin the gimme questions and she still fluffed them up. "What newspapers do you read" is not a difficult question.
The question that triggered Palin's legendary answer in the Katie Couric interview was "Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?" That's a simple yes or no question, and it was fair game because Palin had been using Russia's proximity to Alaska as an asset for the entire campaign.
Tina Fey wouldn't have had any effect if she hadn't been able to get laughs by quoting Palin verbatim.
