TMZ caught up with a rather cheerful Katie Couric on 59th and Fifth today and asked her how she felt about having Sarah Palin criticize her in the media last week. Katie didn't answer the question, but she did have a response when she was asked what newspapers and magazines she reads regularly: "Everyone lies about the Economist, but I actually read it." And with that the brainy anchor headed into Tiffany's. [TMZ]
