ABC's Harris Falsely Hits Sarah Palin as the 'Woman Who Says She Can See Russia from Her House'

ABC's Harris Falsely Hits Sarah Palin as the 'Woman Who Says She Can See Russia from Her House' | Media Research Center:
Nightline co-anchor Dan Harris on Monday night mocked Sarah Palin for her new internet channel and falsely identified the conservative as "the woman who says she can see Russia from her house." [MP3 audio here.] 
No, she didn't. It was Saturday Night Live's Tina Fey in 2008 who uttered this line.
In the tease for the report, Harris played the actual quote: "You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."
So what is the point of misleading viewers with something Palin didn't say?
Making his contempt clear, Harris derided the Republican as the "former half-term governor of Alaska." He then went on to deride Palin's new channel as too expensive.
