Media Reflection Assignment: Karin Komiyama

Setting: Chicago Tribune building's meeting room. Palin and Trump are set up to discuss their success as politicians in a special Q&A hosted by the Tribune. The press secretary is prepping Trump, kissing up to him.
Press Secretary: You are doing a truly wonderful job, Mr. Trump.
Trump: Thank you dear. I am just in AWE with Sarah's energy. I can't believe women could muster as much passion for politics as she could!
PS: Governor Palin just wants what is best for her country. And obviously, she believes that YOU are that best thing for us now. She couldn't keep her excitement in when she decided to endorse you!
Trump: Truly lovely lady. Just wonderful.
PS: Mr. Trump, before this meeting, I'd like to prep you so nothing and no one will sideline you, like when Katie Couric threw poor Governor Palin under the bus a few years ago.
Trump: That was just a nasty move! Women should just settle their differences quietly over tea and biscuits.
PS (ignoring the last comment): Mr. Trump, why do you respect Governor Palin so much? What makes her appeal to you as a political partner?
Trump: Well she looks like my daughter but she isn't. Just kidding! I-
PS: Mr..... Trump.... Let's uh.... OMIT that kind of joking until after the campaign is over....
Trump: No, no, the great thing about America is Free Speech isn't it? Besides, that was a compliment. My daughter is beautiful.
PS: Yes she is, but Mr. Trump, Governor Palin likes to get straight to the point, so you may do well to follow her strategy instead of adding tasteless I mean controversial jokes to your answers.

Enters Sarah

Sarah: Maria, is everything ok?
PS: Yes, Governor Palin, Mr. Trump and I were just discussing strategies for answering the speeches.
Trump: You look as beautiful as my daughter!
Sarah: My, thank you! I was going for the hockey mom look to support all of the busy house wives that'll be reading the paper or listening to the radio tomorrow. They need to know that I am here for them
PS: Are you both prepped for your answers?
Trump: I just need to tell em that I'll make America Great AGAIN
Sarah: I will give a quick shout out to my Alaskans and our lovely neighbors, the Russians. They better know who will be the next leader of our country. Mr. Trump, this is going to be fantastic.
PS: **Praying silently
