Curious as to what newspapers Sarah Palin turns to in order to stay up to date on the world? Sorry folks.

During the latest installment of her multi-part interview with Palin, Katie Couric tried three times to ask the Alaska Governor to name a newspaper or magazine she read to learn about the latest goings on around the globe and Palin refused all three times.

“All of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years,” Palin says.

Feeding the growing perception that she lacks the knowledge, curiosity or readiness to be vice president, Palin inexplicably dodged the simple question about her reading habits three times. No names, not even a shout out for the Anchorage Daily News or the Juneau Empire.

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: I’ve read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.

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 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.
