How does Sarah Palin form her world view? Easy, she doesn't

[video:youtube:wBttm2hOhhY] I'm not sure this blog can take another dose of Sarah Palin, but here goes. Click the above clip forward on the video above to the 3 minute mark to discover exactly how the Republican Vice Presidential candidate in one of the most important US elections ever forms her world view. If you can't face clicking the play button, which is entirely understandable after her previous performance, the guts of it is pasted below. Before you go any further, remember Palin graduated with a journalism major...
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?'" link
