No HuffPo? Sarah Palin Finally Reveals Her News Sources To Sean Hannity

Sean Hannnity‘s pre-taped interview with Sarah Palin aired last night, and among the litany of Republican-friendly positions revealed, the former Governor of Alaska and author of Going Rogue finally told Hannity which newspapers and magazines she regularly reads. Why is this important? You’ll recall her infamous hiccup in answering the same question asked by Katie Couric. What media does Palin consume? Spoiler alert: not the Huffington Post.

Regarding the interview with Couric, Palin said “She asked about what I read, and I read…I read Newsmax and the Frontiersman and Wall Street Journal and everything online. I absorb the news via many, many sources.”

Danny Shea writes in the Huffington Post:

Newsmax is a conservative news website, while the Frontiersman is the local Wasilla, Alaska newspaper.

In one of the more memorable moments of the 2008 campaign, Palin did not name a single publication when Couric asked, “What newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?”

Palin has said that she was offended by Couric’s question because it implied that Alaskans couldn’t stay informed like people in the lower 48 states.
