Carol responds:

Since the writer is a reporter for the Associated Press, I'm pretty
sure that it's as reliable as journalism gets. At least, it's not a
hoax giving us a list of all the books ever banned in the U.S.! The
page contains a number of links to other stories about Palin,
including snippets from her interview with Charles Gibson. I think
that's the best way to determine where Palin stands. Look at each
author's credentials and the newspaper or agency from which each
article came. If it's the National Inquirer, run the other way! If
it's a blogger, ignore it. If it's a national news magazine or
newspaper, there may be a slight liberal or conservative bias, but it
will be generally reliable. AP is probably the most objective source,
at least their mission is to provide reliable, unbiased news coverage.

In short, just because this article appeared on Yahoo doesn't mean it
originated there.
