On ABC’s Good Morning America, Rep. Michele Bachmann refused to take a stand on whether President Barack Obama was a Christian or not, but did concede that Obama should be taken “at his word” that he’s a U.S. citizen. She also doubled down on her opposition to flex-spending tax credits for breast pumps and weighed in on pop artist Lady Gaga.

The media on (and the machine behind) the Palin interviews

Local media watchdog site Cursor.org offers a series of links on the machine behind this week’s interviews with ABC’s Charlie Gibson. The New York Times looks at the “squad of GOP aides” assigned to Palin interview duty, noting everything from a “partywide, all-hands-on-deck” alert about responding to attacks on her record to the “several veterans” of the Bush campaign who are fighting internet rumors about Palin.

And ABC is rolling out the interview, well, everywhere: Excerpts are being released in dribs and drabs on “World News,” “Good Morning America,” and “Nightline,” with the bulk of it coming out during tonight’s special edition of “20/20,” dubbed “The Interview: Sarah Palin with Charles Gibson.”
