That must take up a lot of her day.
Last night on the CBS Evening News, host Katie Couric asked Sarah
Palin which sources she relies on for her news consumption. Three
separate times, Couric tried to elicit a response from Palin about
which specific newspapers she reads. Seemingly caught off guard, Palin
could not name a single news source:
COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was
curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before
you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the
world?
PALIN: Ive read most of them again with a great appreciation for the
press, for the media
COURIC: But what ones specifically? Im curious.
PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over
all these years.
COURIC: Can you name any of them?
PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.
