Palin’s appearance on The O’Reilly Factor was her first on a Fox News show since Monday’s announcement that she would join the cable network as a contributor.

Palin said she skipped the CBS show, saying, “I had been warned, you know, don’t watch.” But she rejected characterisation of her preparations for the vice presidential debate with Joe Biden.
