Who do you think is the most influential journalist today?

...if your goal as a journalist is to be "influential" then you are not a journalist, you are an activist. A true journalist just reports the news. They don't try to make the news.

After the White House correspondents' dinner on Saturday...

"NBC's blog NBCU Direct asked several party attendees the following question: Who do you think is the most influential journalist today?

But while most of the attendees had no problem coming up with answers (Eliot Spitzer said Brian Williams, as did Andrea Mitchell, while SNL's Bill Hader went for The New Yorker's David Grann), Palin fumbled when asked.

"Oh my goodness, that's a great question," she said, before turning to her husband Todd and asking for his input.

When Todd also balked, Palin came back and said, "Um, gosh, that's a great question, I have to think about it, OK? Because there are many."

As Palin walked away from the camera, she ran into her Fox News pal Greta Van Susteren, and then turned back to the NBC cameras to shout, "Greta Van Susteren is the most influential journalist!"

So please, journalists, stop with these really hard questions for poor Sarah. She's busy shooting bears from helicopters or doing other things to keep America great.
