Sarah Palin may know a lot about moose but her grasp of news appears to be shaky. In her latest CBS interview with Katie Couric, the Alaska governor was asked what newspapers and magazines she reads. She couldn't name a single publication.
Instead, she said: "I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media." Couric asked: "What, specifically?"
Palin: "Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years."
Couric: "Can you name a few?"
Palin: "I have a vast variety of source where we get our news. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, it seems like 'wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington DC may be thinking and doing when you live up there in Alaska?'"
For the record, Palin's university major was in journalism.
