journalism in high school. It was actually a program superior to most college journalism programs. My senior year we won the national scholastic acheivment award for the best high school newspaper in the country, for the 13th year in a row. It was taught by the smartest man I ever new, Ron Hayes. A real old school newspaper man.

It was unthinkable to me, that a journalism major couldn't name a few major papers. Had she faked it though, Couric may have followed up and made her look even worse. Still, you'd think she'd rattle off the major Alaskan paper/s, The Wall Street Journal and just about anything else.

Had she said the WSJ, Couric probably would have asked her about a recent relevant story from it. No doubt she would have had no clue, giving away she was lying. She may have realized she was screwed. She's the type that never reads anything.
