Palin, like Dick Cheney and George W. Bush, obviously has a favorite network.

Although Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) claims to read every single news source, she apparently watches only one cable news network — Fox News. ABC reports that Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) was at a pizzeria in Greenville, NC during yesterday’s debate and watched the event on "one of eight televisions tuned to Fox News, while eating pizza and spaghetti." This practice is reminiscent of Vice President Cheney, who requires that all tvs be pre-set to Fox News when he travels. Reporters have also complained that the Bush administration refused to let them watch anything but Fox News on Air Force One. Two separate interviews with Palin will be airing on Fox News tonight.
