So. . .What you seem to be saying is "Sarah Palin does indeed read newspapers, but doesn't want to admit which ones they are."
This brings two possibilities - - that she is as you say reading the "elite media" news sources, which means she's lying when she talks about her disdain for the media elite, or that she is reading some sort of newspaper (the Enquirer, perhaps?) that she is embarrassed to admit to.
I personally find it more likely that she doesn't read newspapers. Given her glorious ignorance on . . well. . just about everything except moose hunting and beer, I can't imagine that she's taking in much data from anywhere.
BTW I don't buy the "overprepped" argument. No preparation team worth anything would tell her to try to convince people that seeing a country from a vast distance means you're ready to conduct high-level negotiations with it.
