Palin Can't Name a Single Newspaper

Talk about failing a softball questions; I'd like to see how she dances around her favorite book. From Katie Couric interview.

Palin Asked Which Newspapers She Reads:
Couric: "When it comes to establishing your worldview, 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: "I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media," she said, trying to wiggle out of the question.

Couric: "What, specifically?"

Palin: "Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years."

Couric: "Can you name a few?"

Palin: "I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, 'Wow, how do you keep in touch with the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?' Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America."
