I just ran across this video of Palin being interviewed by the media, after she apparently pardoned a turkey at a turkey farm. Here's the problem... a guy is slaughtering turkey's behind her! From what I can tell, he's turning them upside down and draining their blood, directly in the camera shot! ZOMG!!!
I've always taken pride in the camera shots I line up for my Principals. Whether it's a seated interview with a bookshelf in the background which has a well-placed logo, or an inpromptu on-camera interview for a gubernatorial candidate, or even a press conference that I organized (as a volunteer), for Mecklenburg County Commissioner Karen Bently, that I didn't start until the appropriate flags arrived AND I arranged them properly in the camera shot -- I ALWAYS make sure the shot isn't distracting, and is complimentary to the interviewee and the topic. It's just basic image management.
As a communications professional, I am offended that somebody is getting paid to do her PR. The sad thing is that all they needed to do was move 10 feet to the left, and closer to the pen, and they would've had a shot with the turkeys, and NO slaughtering. Quick and easy.
If her PR person was there, he/she should be fired immediately.
Here's the vid:
