While Fox News continued its coverage of Sarah Palin, the network ran a photo of whom they thought was the Mama Grizzly. However, sharp-eyed viewers noticed that it was actually a photo of Tina Fey.

While Tina Fey's portrayal of Sarah Palin is remarkably accurate, the two could not pass for twins, and the 30 Rock star is recognizable in her own right.

It's unclear why Fox News had so much trouble finding a picture of Sarah Palin. Fox honchos were equally perplexed by the mistake, and were not shy about expressing their anger:  aside from focusing on matching the right photo with the right story, Fox staffers are on notice that repeatedly showing Tina Fey instead of Sarah Palin (or any similar mixup) could result in a pink slip.
