“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?” Couric asked.

“I’ve read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media,” Palin responded.

You think Couric may have had a follow-up to that response? You’d be correct. And it wasn’t a devious follow-up. In fact, it was two words. “What specifically?”

No dice. When Couric tried one last time, Palin responded:

“I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too,” she said. “Alaska isn’t a foreign country, where it’s kind of suggested, ‘Wow, how could you keep in touch with what 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.”
