Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Which means Alaskans will be enjoying turkey with friends and family. It also means many will be sharing the infamous video of then Governor Sarah Palin giving an interview, right after pardoning a turkey, with a turkey being slaughtered in the background. It has become known as Turkeygate! Today is the 10 year anniversary. Jeff Landfield spoke with Scott Jensen, the man who was behind the camera, about what happened on this day 10 years ago. Scott also gives some awesome background on his coverage of Palin when she was governor and after she was chosen as McCain's VP nominee.
