Talking to CNN in the midst of a rehearsal for her 2009 Wonder World Tour, Miley asserted that the press hasn’t been fair to her.

Referring to the recent controversy surrounding her pole dancing at the Teen Choice Awards, which had become an instant YouToube sensation, Miley was asked if she believed the press had been respectful of her.

“No,” said Miley categorically. “I think the media always tries to, kind of, overdo it.”

Miley’s father, Billy Ray Cyrus, had come under attack when he justified Miley’s pole dancing saying she is an entertainer.

“It is really no one else’s business how my parents raise me,” Miley says. “I have one of the best parents in the world. I have a much more open relationship [with them] than a lot of my friends have.”

“I do love performing and entertaining, so I would not give up that for anything.”

As to her tour show, Miley says:

“It is more or less a mature show…it’s edgy and it’s rock and roll, but is so young,” says the 16-year-old superstar of her show.

Miley’s tour kicks off on September 14, 2009 in Portland, Oregon and spans 45 dates across North America.
