Bingo! Just a sly attempt by Forbes to perpetuate the lie that Palin misreported history. There are still far too many people who believe one of the other big lies—that Palin was wrong about being able to see Russia from Alaska. Fact: It is visible from Alaska.
It was Tina Fey impersonating Sarah who said she could see Russia from her porch.
Blame Tina Fey for the “controversy”. Some headlines and articles spread the lie, while the truth gets burried. In the end, the brain dead public still believe that Palin actually said it and no ammount of later correction can correct it.

Very true. I was watching one of those State Trooper shows and the one I saw was regarding Alaska.
Now you could not get to this place without an airplane (which seems to be the norm in Alaska), but this tip of Alaska, where the State Troopers went, they said on a clear day you CAN see Russia.
It appears Sarah knows EXACTLY what she is talking about...the rest just talk out of their a$$.
