Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin isn't giving interviews to the news media and won't until ``the campaign is ready,'' campaign manager Rick Davis said today.
Palin will answer questions from reporters ``when we think it's time and when she feels comfortable doing it,''

``She's not scared to answer questions, but you know what?'' Davis said. ``We run our campaign, not the news media.''

`She will do interviews, but she'll do them on the terms and conditions'' the campaign decides.

Davis referred to the media as ``piranhas'' and said that reporters focused on Palin's personal life, including the pregnancy of her unmarried 17-year-old daughter.

The coverage last week was ``not what I would call objective journalism,'' Davis said. ``So until at which point in time we feel like the news media is going to treat her with some level of respect and deference, I think it would be foolhardy to put her out into that kind of environment.''
