alexey Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 http://www.rgj.com/article/20100111/NEWS12/100111032/1321/NEWS The Washington Post is reporting that Sarah Palin has signed on as a pundit with Fox News. The Post's Howard Kurtz reports: "A Fox News executive says the network will shortly announce that the former vice-presidential nominee is signing on as a contributor. Palin, who resigned as governor of Alaska last summer, will appear as a commentator on various Fox shows. She will also host an occasional program that will examine inspirational tales involving ordinary Americans. Palin will join Mike Huckabee as a Fox contributor who was also involved in the 2008 campaign. The exposure can only help Palin if she decides to pursue a 2012 presidential bid. At the moment, Palin makes pronouncements mainly through her Facebook page. The Fox connection would give her a platform on the nation's top-rated cable news channel. Palin is extremely popular with her conservative base, which has fueled the sales of her best-selling memoir. But she is a divisive political figure who not only draws the ire of liberals but some Republicans, including staffers who deal with her during her run as John McCain's running mate. Steve Schmidt, a top McCain strategist, said on "60 Minutes" last night that "there were numerous instances that she said things that were -- that were not accurate that ultimately, the campaign had to deal with." Hiring Palin could further boost the popularity of Rupert Murdoch's network among conservative viewers. The network already employs former Bush White House aide Karl Rove and former House speaker Newt Gingrich as highly visible commentators." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Never saw that one coming. You know who is saddest about this? This guy. He is no longer going to be the best beloved at Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjah Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Is Fox News going to do the same thing with her that they do with everyone else in their studio, and make it sound like they're talking inside a large drainpipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyDave Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Shucks I thought after the "Pro" Palin piece on 60 Minutes, she would join Barrack's number 3 propaganda channel in the Lame Stream Media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 It was pretty damning. She really is a dumbass I don't know. She may turn out to be a better marketing genius than Snyder. From obscurity to a world figure and her own hourly. She really knows how to work the system. (I guess the question that must be asked though is-- If she's about to work on a daily news events program which newspapers will she read to help her with her prep and research?)

She really is a dumbass I was being sarcastic and I could easily put liberals in a negative light actually they do that all by themselves and show how much of a dumb ass they are those fellow liberals use blinders or downplay their idiocy.

scruffylookin Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I think she will do well. This is more her speed. It'll be very controlled and she will be sheltered and allowed to spout off her drivel without being called on it and have the slackjaws who idolize her cheering in the background. I don't think she can relaunch any presidential ambitions being a talking head, but she will keep herself in the limelight and that is all she really wants anyway.

Predicto Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 She's not going to do anything live and unscripted. She is going to do carefully edited specials, and they are going to make her look fifty times more thoughtful and reasonable than she really is. The comedy value will be minimal. With that said, I dont know what the fuss is. She has already been on TV every week for years. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a better option than cashing in as a politician,as is too often the case.
