Sarah Palin to Fox News — a Step Away from 2012?

ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is taking what appears to be a step away from elected office in accepting a new role as a Fox News contributor. The announcement, as reported by The New York Times’ Jim Rutenberg today, answers one of the persistent questions surrounding Palin since she resigned the governor’s office last summer. Her new gig with Fox News Channel will give Palin a new megaphone, in addition to her 1.1 million-plus supporters on Facebook. The Times reports that Palin has inked a “multi-year deal” that will make her part of the cable outlet’s programming “on a regular basis,” as part of an occasional series. But while the Fox job will leave room for other pursuits, it’s also the latest sign that Palin, R-Alaska, is looking for ways to build upon her political brand in ways that don’t necessarily include a run for the presidency in 2012. Though terms of the Fox deal have not been made public, this plus her quick authorship of a bestselling memoir suggest that Palin’s attention has turned to her own finances since leaving public life. Messages left with Fox and Palin representatives were not immediately returned this afternoon. UPDATE: Fox News Channel made the formal announcement of the deal this afternoon. According to the press release: “Palin will provide political commentary and analysis for FOX News Channel (FNC), FOX Business Network (FBN), FOXNews.com, and FOX News-produced special event political programming for FOX Broadcasting.” “In addition, she will host periodic episodes of FNC’s ‘Real American Stories,’ a series exploring inspirational real-life tales of overcoming adversity throughout the American landscape that will debut in 2010.” (Time will tell how many of those stories originate from “the real America.”) Says Palin, in the news release: “I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at FOX News. It’s wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news.”

Trust me I’m glad we are finally going to fight Al Qaeda in Yemen…it’s about time and alot of liberals are starting to realize that Bush did great things in Iraq and Afganistan

Is anyone at all surprised that Palin is going to FoxNews? That’s where all the Republican ‘thought’ leaders are at the moment, so it is a natural fit. At this point, that whole “Fair and Balanced” motto is hilarious. Hint to FoxNews: We’re laughing at you, not with you.

They are sure to have fair and balanced reporting at fox now!!!!!! Big suprise she would join the right wing freaks at fox. Now they can help her make up the lies they want to spread.

She may as well have gone to “The Cartoon Network”. It’s the same mentality of viewing audience.

She’s going to start her program off with a wink and end it with a “You betcha”. First guest, Joe the Plumber for his deep insight into politics today. Just hope she finds time to pass along some of her moose recipes.

Oh boy, just wait for the gaffes coming out of her mouth. According to campaign insiders, McCain-ites had to teach her the difference between North and South Korea, among other inconsequential facts, in the prep for the Vice Presidential debate with O’Biden. It’s depressing we have to hear about this “leader” every day.

All you left wing idiots!…. Fox could care less if you are not watching! You wouldn’t understand anyway…if you voted for that idiot.. it shows you have no brains! We’re laughing at you, not with you.

Posted by: leogorky | January 11, 2010, 2:43 pm 2:43 pm

No surprise here…she would fit right in on this network. It is not a news network just a talk show/gossip/biased network and she can handle that.

What a bunch of jealous people on this site. We except Sarah Palin at Fox News and across America. The only sad thing is that she is stepping away from become our first real president that is for the people and not their own party. The REAL American People Love You Palin!!!!

I find it highly amusing that you can “except Sarah Palin at Fox News …”, rather than “accept” her. I would like to “except” her as well because I certainly don’t want to “accept” her in any position.

Posted by: donna | January 11, 2010, 2:51 pm 2:51 pm

Palin and Fox will be a meat grinder to the other cable networks. Their only means of defense will be as Gen Patton said: “Attack, Attack, Attack.” That was his defense and it will be the others.
I hope she put the “At the precipice” Liberals and Progressive’s, right (pun intended) over the edge.

Palin can do more than fillet a fish; she can also fillet a president and his administration. Just watch and listen.
Palin has nothing to lose now, Pres Obama has everything to lose – his whole socialistic agenda for blacks he is pushing down the throats of Americans. Everyone will pay – “Wealth Redistribution”
Everyone knows what is going on, but due to Progressive political correctness darkness that has been fostered upon the nation, they can work in the dark – with no light shined from the media and press, who are in that dark with them.

Posted by: DesertCactus | January 11, 2010, 2:59 pm 2:59 pm

Why not? She certainly will fit right in with the other right wing, wing-nuts. But the best thing will be that the rest of the stations won’t feel obligated to post her rantings, ravings and nonsense now that she is part of the “competition”. It just limits her to the wing-nut base and limits her exposure. It is evident that all she is concerned about is her “financial situation” and nothing else.

Does this mean 2012 is out of the picture?
Not much of a game changer on the news front considering she is on Fox once a month already and that network will protect her from any on-air gaffes.

Didn’t she quit her job as governor to further her right-wing fundamentalist agenda and “help America”? How on earth can she do that as a political pundit on FOX Noise? Gee, ya think maybe she was just in it for the money all along……..? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

So this is why Sarah Palin quit the people of Alaska? Money, money, and more money. Book sales, speaking fees, and now Fox news pundit. Does any truly SANE person really consider her a contender for the 2012 race? Of course, this question doesn’t include Fox News viewers.

Posted by: A.Lincoln | January 11, 2010, 3:20 pm 3:20 pm

Hey jhw…Fox is laughing all the way to the bank with the highest ratings ever. America is a conservative country and Fox is Fair and Balanced, because at least they give BOTH sides a chance to talk. On every Fox news show, there is an opposing view..as compared to MSNBC the Obama network who wouldn’t say a good thing about a conservative if their ratings depended on it…and they do.

It is a sad reminder of the caliber of people that we now have on the airwaves. Not to mention the caliber of people that we have in the House and Senate. There was a time there was such a thing as a “statesman”. Not any more. Because of our corrupt system of financing campaigns, our choices are limited – and look where we are now.
If Sarah Palin is a voice of the people, then this country is doomed.

Posted by: sharon40 | January 11, 2010, 3:29 pm 3:29 pm

I think Plain will be fine on Fox. They fit with her views (right or wrong) and hopefully will keep her occupied for the next several years. At the very least she will be learning about the real world (Fox style) instead of having her hea butied in a moose in Alaska. Maybe she will eventually be able to name a few world leaders and read a few magazines.

Posted by: jenny | January 11, 2010, 3:30 pm 3:30 pm

“if you voted for that idiot” . . . And voting for McCain/Palin showed you had brains?!?!? As bad as things are now, I shudder to think how disastrous things would be if McCain/Palin had won. I am fascinated by people who think Palin has substantive knowledge on any political issue. Just shows how absolutely devalued education has become in this country. “Don’t confuse me with facts, just tell me what I want to hear.”

Posted by: Jim | January 11, 2010, 3:30 pm 3:30 pm

I don’t know anyone who watched Fox News anyway. If I find that I need to throw up, I’ll switch over to Fox for a little while.

How exactly did America, a “conservative country,” give Obama, who ran very openly on a liberal agenda, the biggest electoral victory in decades? And I don’t watch FoxNews (or MSNBC for that matter), but last time I heard there is no opposing view to the hard right Hannity or O’Reily or Glenn Beck or now Palin.

Posted by: jhw539 | January 11, 2010, 3:32 pm 3:32 pm

Commentator is a good first start. Fox News should give future President Palin a full hour, like they do huckabee. Not only would their ratings go even further through the roof, but that would drive the d-crat socialist extremists even more insane, i.e. a WIN-WIN.

Posted by: TeaPartyPatriot | January 11, 2010, 3:36 pm 3:36 pm

This is great. Maybe she’ll get to interview Harry Reid, and Joe Biden, and Blago, and the rest of the wonderful representatives of the democratic party who seem to make such intelligent and political correct comments…Can’t wait!!

Posted by: Angie | January 11, 2010, 3:36 pm 3:36 pm

Just because she has 1.1 million friends on Facebook doesn’t mean they like her….curiosity has driven many to see what crazyness she’s up to now…
FOX as a fair news team is hysterical…I agree with the comment about the “Cartoon Network”…that’s what FOX is anyway

No, Sarah Palin is not perfect but neither is our Democratic Congress and President and boy have they proven their smarts in the past year. Some people still live in a world that doesn’t think and and if they try to think they believe a woman should be seen but not heard. If you don’t like FoxNews or Palin then hit that little button on your remote that says Off.

Posted by: Jai | January 11, 2010, 3:42 pm 3:42 pm

Yay!!!!! More reasons to watch Fox News. If the other cable networks ratings were not already bad, they will really tank now. You go girl!!!!

Posted by: gopmom | January 11, 2010, 3:42 pm 3:42 pm

Remember everyone the frog put into warm water does not know it will die in moments as the water becomes a boiling cauldron …
Just like Palin’s supporters who have hooked their wagon to someone they assume is GOD’s choice for the world.
But if that is true; did their “god” make a mistake?
OR is GOD putting her there on the horizon for another purpose …
To lead you astray …
Watch and pray, and beware which ‘god’ you serve.

Posted by: Safe | January 11, 2010, 3:45 pm 3:45 pm

I find it interesting that the people who voice concern for “redistributing wealth” are the ones that the Dems would benefit most. The R’s have also been redistributing wealth, but they give the middle class wealth to the upper class and get some people to think it is a good thing for them.

Posted by: Becky | January 11, 2010, 4:04 pm 4:04 pm

Come on, be fair — can she be any worse then Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow or Chris Matthews? They are without a doubt the worst of a bad group of “on air personalities” (can’t really call them “journalists” since they mislead their watchers daily).
You can say a lot of things about Sarah Palin, but part of her appeal is that she loves America, and that alone will make her a nice alternative to the MSNBC crowd.

Posted by: Miss M | January 11, 2010, 4:04 pm 4:04 pm

jhw539 —- You’re error is with news and opinions. Hannity is an opinionated source, not a news source. For some strange reason, Fox is #1 in ratings by a long shot. Now, given the rise of Palin, I am sure more will tune in. A win win for them.

Not surprising that a lot of people commenting here have no understanding of the difference between hard news and commentary.
While some network news outlets routinely include opinion in their hard news programs, Fox does not.
Fox, like every other network news outlets, has commentary programming. Those shows exist for the purpose of expressing opnions.
Disagreeing with an opinion does not prove the speaker is lying, only that you disagree.
On the other hand, some concepts are just too deep for people who are determined to hate something.

Palin will just be another mouthpiece for the right wing including Hannity and Glenn Beck. She will spout the same GOP crap that everyone else will be spouting. Unfortunately, I think the country is tired of the extreme right and wishes to move towards the center. Conservatives would be smart to distance themselves from Palin and the FOX right wing network.

I wonder how long it will take the Obama administration to put the hammer down on Fox and Palin? They own the game board and will do ANYTHING to get what they want…
I think they will shut down Fox for some trumped up crap sooner or later anyhow but putting Palin on board will make it happen all the quicker now…
Oh well, He (Obama) can get tips right out of the Hugo Chavez “How to overthrow a Free Country” hand book… You remember the one Hugo forced Obama to take at their back slapping buddy buddy meeting…
Palin has my vote if she runs on a third party ticket… If she doesn’t have a RINO run as a VP with her that is.. How about the, “NO RINOS – Tea Party,” Ticket.

Palin sticking to foxnews is about as crazy as obama and his cronies hanging out at MSNBC all of the time.
There is no stopping her now. She owes and panders to NO ONE. She says what she means and means what she says, and the people are beginning to realize that.
When she is elected in 2012, the corruption that has plagued Washington on both sides of the aisle will be fun to watch as she completely dismantles it.

Posted by: Dave | January 11, 2010, 4:29 pm 4:29 pm

Here’s a thought, Palin will now be on the highest rated news in the business which means she is in the public eye even more. What a political ploy to make sure she has exposure.

What is ironic about your comment Bill is that you apparently have never seen or heard “empty-suit obama” speak when his teleprompter malfunctions….
“I uuuhhh uuummmm uuuhhhh uummm” is all he can mangage, or sometimes he just ceases to talk completely until it begins to function again. The liberal media has just chosen to ignore these instances- big surprise there!
On the other hand, Palin’s teleprompter stuttered during her RNC speech and she still delivered it FLAWLESSLY.
If obama’s had messed up in Denver during the DNC he would not be president right now.

Palin never said “I can see russia from my house”- tina fey did. But I can see where you get your news from!
However, obama did say that he “had been to all 57 states” and joe the biden proudly proclaimed to katie couric that “Roosevelt went on television in 1929 to calm the country down after the stock market crash”.
I wonder why SNL never made fun of those remarks???????

Posted by: Dave in KC | January 11, 2010, 4:45 pm 4:45 pm

“Palin will provide political commentary and analysis for FOX News…” … This may be the best of all possible things with Sarah: she will again display her ignorance and abysmal disconnect all over national television, the wingnuts will love her and will do everything they can to make her the 2012 GOP candidate, and the rest of the country will be scared to death of her and will ensure that the Democrats retain a firm grip on the reigns of power for perhaps another 20 years straight!
Somehow, the Right wing has never quite realized that John McCain likely chose Palin in 2008 precisely BECAUSE he knew she would deny him a victory and thus save him from having to muck out the stinky messes left by predecessor Bush and his Richard.
Maybe I should leave them to their ignorant bliss.

Posted by: Juan Diego
Actually, with a degree in journalism and with experience as a mayor, commissioner and governor, she is more then qualified for this job (as well, she was more then qualified to be vice president and few actually believe she would have been any worse then Joe Biden). The election is long over — she has not announced that she is running for any other office, so the only “national stage” she is on is that of Fox News …. and I would guess that the people who run that company are perhaps a bit more qualified then you are to make the decision as to who should work there and who shouldn’t.
And here’s the best part – if you don’t want to watch her on Fox, no one will force you. Feel free to exercise your right to change the channel.

Let’s not forget you can at least see her track record and accomplishments. Until you freaks voted Barry in, his resume was just a little thin don’t you think? What were his grades? Where did he work? That’s right, he can speak well without using negro dialect. With a telepropmter of course.

pamp205 … But I do watch MSNBC. I’m one of the few viewers, although I only watch for to get in a good chuckle. You can put on a brave face, but the numbers don’t lie. MSNBC’s ratings are no where near that of Fox and advertisers, they tend to put their money where the higher numbers are. Most people are quickly tiring of Olberman, Matthews, Maddow and even Bill Mahr (I”ll admit Jon Stewart can be funny sometimes) and advertisers know that — that should have them running pretty scared.
As for Palin, oddly, advertisers are lining up to sponsor her segments.

Posted by: Cowgal | January 11, 2010, 4:54 pm 4:54 pm

Watching ABC, CNN, and FOX on a regular basis: the conclusion is that FOX headlines well before any of the others. And FOX reports on stories the other stations hide. Obama has had only one interview with FOX. Why is he afraid to interview with FOX network? Because they ask the questions he can not answer, or will expose the contradictions in his policy. The Dem numbers just keep going down…. down … down.

Posted by: John A | January 11, 2010, 4:55 pm 4:55 pm

This is great. With Sarah Palin joining Ann Coulter on Fox News all we need now is some raving lunatic red headed Republican woman to complete the ensamble.

Sarah Palin makes a great addition to the FOX team of prevaricators in their own little fantasy world. She and Glann Beck and Sean Hannity should be bosom buddies.

Well another business move that is disastrous to political harmony. Sorry to say this move will only divide the nation further and further. Left wingers will laugh their head off at the “Fair and Balanced” because Sarah Palin is not “Fair and Balanced”.
Then right wingers will have more ammo and mud slinging material. So the name calling and political assertions will just rise.

“Palin might not be the smartest VP candidate on the block”.
Why do you feel the need to give concessions when showing support for Palin?
Remember, the same media who has told us repeatedly what an idiot she was, is the same media who told us what a god-send obama was.
Palin out debated a 35 year sitting senator when she was a 2 year governor, in front of 70 million people.
Biden said ludicris things again and again, both during the debate and campaign trail, but he has the protection of the MSM.
Had she have said 1/10 of the ignorant things that man has claimed since becoming the VP nominee her political career would have been finished. The media would have eaten her alive.
She is incredibly intelligent and America will prosper under her as president (that’s assuming we survive the next four years under the socialist empty suit we have now as prez).

Posted by: Palin4prez | January 11, 2010, 5:14 pm 5:14 pm

The racism from this country is perpetuated by the dems- always has been always will. As I always say- the democrats are the party of the 4 S’s- slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.
Did Palin call obama a clean black guy, like biden did?
Or refer to him as lacking “negro speak” as Reid did?
Did Palin mention obama was black….ever?
Meanwhile, Obama mentioned his race hundreds of times as a means to play the race card (very typical liberal tactic).

Sorry, can’t deny the fact the woman is an idiot except when it comes to playing her base for the fools they are.

Fox with it $700m revenue can afford to hire another “news” person to read the made up “news”.

It should be amusing enough to land her again, on SNL, which was the funniest skit I ever seen.

Oh the poor Bots, Palin embarrassed them by stating a simple fact that Alaska and Russia and neighbors and they still haven’t gotten over it. I am sorry guys, but yes there is no doubt that Palin is far smarter than you and certainly that man-boy moron, Obama.

Posted by: puttheminjail | January 11, 2010, 5:50 pm 5:50 pm

Palin can do more than fillet a fish; she can also fillet a president and his administration. Just watch and listen.
Palin has nothing to lose now, Pres Obama has everything to lose – his whole socialistic agenda for blacks he is pushing down the throats of Americans. Everyone will pay – “Wealth Redistribution”
Everyone knows what is going on, but due to Progressive political correctness darkness that has been fostered upon the nation, they can work in the dark – with no light shined from the media and press, who are in that dark with them.

DesertCactus You are right! She wanted to attack Obama more during the campaign but the RNC held her back and didn’t allow her to speak. She will go after him and take him apart now and she finally has the venue to do it! I think we will soon see the pitbull in lipstick that she claimed to be in the campaign. Go Sarah!

Palin resigned as gov because the obama machine had successfully stalled her administration in a mountain of frivilous “ethics complaints” (one was filed by a fake british soap star that cost $10,000 to defeat) launched by liberals up in Alaska.
The lawsuits cost her state millions of dollars and thousands of her staff’s hours. She successfully defeated all 20 of them.
When she resigned, there were 20 more lawsuits lined up. Her state’s agenda was crippled as long as she was governor (because the liberals know how much of a threat she is), and she chose to put her state above her political aspirations.
Imagine… a politician who claims to be for the people- and she actually is!
Of course you can’t understand that- you supported a man with friends like Rezko, blago, rev racist, and bill ayers.

DJ and others keep ranting about fighting al Queda in Yemen. Does he and those others know something the rest of the world is not privy to? President Obama has said no to putting troops on the ground in Yemen. The top general in the Middle East has said no. What part of “No” don’t they get? Or, are they just out to promote lies and missinformation to confuse people.

Great, more delusional fear mongering from FOX. The right wing thrives by distracting people from reality – such as the fact that Alaska takes more federal dollars per person than any other state. And 1/3 of its jobs are GOVERNMENT jobs.
Sarah Palin will offer more fuel to FOX’s mindless fear and rage – death panels, Armageddon, “Big Government”, State secession, and “you can’t blink”.

leogorky If you think journalists have to tell the truth you must have been hiding under a rock the last few years, especially the last 17 months! Practically nothing that has been reported about Sarah Palin for the last 17 months has been the truth or at least not the whole truth! Many details were left out of much of what has been the truth that was reported about her. The days of David Brinkley, Peter Jennings, and others that could be depended on to tell us the truth and all of the truth are long gone!

Yeah Dave, and one is one which she filed on herself after she took the campaign nod. She complained on herself to hopefully make Troopergate go away during the campaign. So, are you understanding this? One of her ethics complaints was her own ethics complaint. Against herself.
Oh, and I might add, this whole process was her baby and she set it up like this. AND it was a myth that it cost millions. She told you that to have a reason to quit that you guys would believe. And it worked. She really wanted to make millions.

Steve Schmidt, John McCain’s Top Campaign Strategist, said of Sarah Palin: “She is Untruthful. Sarah is Not Accurate. She sees down as up and up as down.” Schmidt also told the Foreign Affairs toutors that they hired for her during the campaign: “You have your work cut out for you. She (Palin) doesn’t know anything.”
Infact John McCain’s top Strategist said: “She cannot understand why there is a North Korea and a South Korea.”

FOX News is really FAKE News. And Sarah Palin recently published a Going Rogue, most of which is ghost-written. By defnition a rogue is a con artist, a charlatan, a scofflaw, a scoundrel, a fake, a fraud, a liar and a crook. FOX News and rogues go together, they are both as phony as a $ 3 bill. Sarah Palin has indeed found her true home.

“Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favourable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side. (…) The receptive powers of the masses are very restricted, and their understanding is feeble. On the other hand, they quickly forget. Such being the case, all effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare essentials and those must be expressed as far as possible in stereotyped formulas. These slogans should be persistently repeated until the very last individual has come to grasp the idea that has been put forward. (…) Every change that is made in the subject of a propagandist message must always emphasize the same conclusion. The leading slogan must of course be illustrated in many ways and from several angles, but in the end one must always return to the assertion of the same formula.” From chapter 4 of Mein Kampf. Think for yourself.

During the 2004 campaign, one of my students gave me a copy of some President Bush’s most enlightening statements. Every day, I copied one or two of these statements, projected them on the overhead projector in my classroom, and had my students correct the structural and grammatical errors. Even my 10th graders could recognize the writing problems and propose solutions. Bear in mind, that I taught English in one of those public inner city high schools that conservatives love to hate.
Having attempted to decipher some of Sarah Palin’s classic comments, I can’t help but think of the wonderful teaching resource Sarah Palin will provide for future generations of English teachers. (I retired in 2007). However, if she gets elected, we will have the same nightmare we had under G.W. Bush, who was also promoted by FAKE, I mean FOX, News. Sloppy grammar and syntax and sloppy thinking go hand in hand.

Nothing against her. What she has accomplished in her lifetime is quite impressive. But sadly I would place her accomplishments on par with the fictional Forest Gump; a person of limited mental resources who by hard work makes something of his life.

The best part is when you bring up her qualifications, as if Barry had any before this joke of a presidency.

Duane | Jan 11, 2010 6:24:31 PM posted “Why are the leftists so scared of this woman? Is it because she is a real woman?”
Duane, “leftists” are “scared” of the ignorance, not the woman. She has been packaged and marketed as a meat-eating, gun totin’, family-loving hockey Mom who puts “Ivy League” liberals to shame. The reality is Palin is a crafty, conniving politician who the McCain campaign discovered was blatantly ignorant about history and international affairs.
Her real world is a disconnect. She does one thing and says another, such as denying her husband’s involvement with the Alaskan separatist movement. She promotes fear-mongering with her “death panels”, talks about refusing government money as Alaska rakes in Federal dollars, and promotes “family” as she publicly battles the man who fathered her grandchild out of wedlock.
Palin fires up the bigoted, those who would criminalize immigrants, and people who believe Armageddon is on the horizon. Her public persona is an attractive honest woman who is “one of us” – but in reality, the majority of Americans don’t believe people are “flocking to Israel” because the world will end soon, or that the Universe is 6,000 years old, or that the Big Evil Government wants to kill handicapped children. It’s the ignorance that’s frightening.

All we know about Obama is that he graduated from Columbia University, was an Alinskyite community organizer, went to Harvard Law School, and worked as a law school lecturer before running for public office. He has received the author’s credit for two books, though it is an open question how much he relied on ghostwriters. We have not seen his school transcripts, and he wrote not one single signed article while acting as president of the Harvard Law Review or as a law school instructor. We have no idea what Obama’s intellectual aptitude is but we know how he sounds when the telepromotor is missing and GWBush sounds like a scholar. Keep the tele Prezzy and try to completely ruin our country.

Why do the liberal continue to rail against Sarah Palin? The answers are:
First and formost she is a Christian. Second,she is a true Conservative. Third, she truly represents the American people and their values (Integrity, Honesty, love of family, love of Country, etc., etc.). Fourth, she will do what she says, unlike any liberal politician. Fifth, they can’t stand the fact that FOX is the leader in News and its audience and sponsors are evidence of this fact. The liberal Media is dying, slowly but surely. Sixth, This big platform will give her the practice she needs to deal with all the questions marks, the liberals acuse her of being a lightweight. They are in for a big surprise! And last but not least, women will flock to her, like no other politician has been able to do, since the beginning of this Nation.

I hope other news outlets start ignore cluster-fox along with mainstream America.

My my my. So this is what learns from watching Fox news. First of all, liberals are Christian too, so there goes #1. Secondly, I doubt very much that she’s a true conservative. She left that city she was mayor of in deep debt. Thirdly, ” she truly represents the American people ” So now liberals aren’t Americans? Most liberals I know love their country and children and honesty.
So everyone, look at what Fox News teaches people. Hate, hate, hate. Hmmm, is that even Christian? I don’t think so.

That doesn’t even make sense. Why would you think that’s what Fox News teaches? Think people watch Fox 24/7. It hasn’t been around all that many years so surely they may have learned something prior to Fox’s debut?
Does ABC teach stupidity? LOL

Not really in a wad. We’re just worried that the “conservatives” (and we know they aren’t) might once again elect someone who is 1) not the sharpest tool in the tool shed (like G.W.Bush) and 2) will probably have someone else calling the shots (like Cheney).
Palin at best has an average I.Q. We saw how well that worked out with G.W.Bush. Give she’s average, going from mom to mayor to governor is very impressive. But she isn’t as educated, is not well read, and is ignorant about foreign affairs. I would not call her Presidential material.

Folks, it’s almost impossible to get a truly “fair and balanced” source of news today. Naturally, whether they like it or not, Conservative journalists will tend to gravitate toward conservative news stories, and vice versa for liberals. George Stephanopoulos passes for a journalist, even though he worked for the Clinton administration, so I really don’t see how people can object to Sarah Palin working at FOX. Face it, you can’t just go to one source and expect to get the whole story any more! Personally, I look at ABC News to check out the liberal stuff, and then listen to radio on the way to school and look at the Drudge Report for the conservative. However, it doesn’t matter what your specific news spots are, just GET A VARIETY. Please! Our country needs more people who do.

And I would not call what we have as president, presidential material. But that’s what we have.
Sarah sure does have you guys scared. If she’s so awful, what’s the problem? If she’s that stupid, then she is no threat, right? Yet you people act like she’s the biggest threat around.
As far as IQ — well, I don’t know about that. I don’t know about Obama’s either. I haven’t seen a lot of brilliance coming out of the 57-state guy. Teleprompter breaks and he’s lost.
He can read, though. Yep, he can sure do that!!

Because I’ve read the posts from those who strongly support Fox news and they all have the same theme : hate liberals.
Just go back and read some of them.
Now I have to admit that it might be the case that they already possess the hatred and watch Fox to feed their hatred. I guess it is the chicken and the egg thing.
BTW, why do you have to throw insults at people? You mocked NEPatsFan for his name and at the same time you make a post about just turning off Fox News and you call yourself Justturnitoff. Being a New England Patriots Fan isn’t any worse than Justturnitoff.

And, really, to hear all of you on the left talk, you are the majority.
So, why the worry? The majority always wins. No problem.

Don’t you have an original thought? Everybody who doesn’t want Palin as POTUS is afraid of her? NONSENSE!
As for Obama and the “57 states” NONSENSE -> he was tired after a long stint of campaigning and misspoke. Big deal. Palin was so bad that her own party tried to minimized interviews with her. At one point McCain unexpectedly showed up to answer questions for her during an interview.
About Obama.. part of his job is to read and approve laws. I believe being a lawyer (as many of our former presidents were) does come in handy. As for his I.Q. , it takes a high I.Q. to graduate from Harvard Law School Magna Cum Laude.

Posted by: Faurtz8 | January 11, 2010, 11:02 pm 11:02 pm

And they didn’t try to minimize Palin because she was “so bad” — they didn’t want her to speak because she’s conservative and was at odds with the RINO McCain.

No problem? The majority elected Obama; you don’t have any problem with that?
The majority elected G.W.Bush once (he did not have the majority of votes the first time, just the Electoral College votes). That does scare me.
In case you missed it, we the people no longer control the government. Last year is the first time I got really involved in a politicians campaign and I donated time and money for his cause. Can you guess who??? That’s right, Dr. Ron Paul.
But Paul didn’t stand a chance because the MSM (including FOX) minimized him right out of the campaign. Paul believes in small government, avoiding entangling alliances, and fiscal conservatism. He was told by his own party that those are NOT the views of the Republican party. So while you’re standing up for Palin and the Republicans and FOX (who censored Paul BTW), you might want to rethink a little bit.

Fancy that…

Posted by: Justturnitoff | January 11, 2010, 11:14 pm 11:14 pm

And, EVERYONE censored Ron Paul! Not just Fox.
Yes, I was making fun of NEPATS use of Fix and Faux. If it didn’t come out correctly, then I apologize.
I am, also, not actually standing up for Palin or Fox, but was merely pointing out that I have never seen anyone bring out such hatred in the left as Sarah Palin? Why? It has to be fear. What else brings out hatred like fear? People are scared to death of her.
I watch most of the different news channels and Fox is by far the most fair. CNN and MSNBC are so biased they are laughable.
I’m refering to the newscasts — not the opinion programming. I’ve never seen Glen Beck and don’t watch Hannity.
I DO enjoy Greta Van Susteren. I watch their evening news because I can actually hear stories that you don’t hear on the other networks — stories that we need to hear.
That’s the same reason I read the Washington Times.

Justturnitoff posted “Well, my, my Faurtz — we have common ground. I was a Ron Paul delegate at the convention.

I admit I lean left most of the time. So why did I support Ron Paul?
1) To me, he was the ONLY honest Republican candidate. Dennis Kucinich would be his counter part in the Democratic party.
2) As much as I believe we need things like public health care, I KNOW we will never be able to afford them because of how BLOTTED our government has become by BOTH parties.
3) Ron Paul believes that we should follow the Constitution and so do I. I just have to take a look at all the wars we started and lost WITHOUT following the Constitution by having Congress make the final decision to convince me of this.
4) Ron Paul is an expert on the economy. McCain (who’s economic adviser Phil Gramm is one of the biggest causes of our problems) admits he’s not an expert. I have to admit a took a little guilty pleasure when Paul asked McCain a simple economic question and McCain was totally clueless. Anyway, we needed a POTUS who really understood the economy and Paul is such a person.
5) Paul had the GUTS to label the silly argument that terrorists attack us “because they hate our freedoms” as B.S.. I wonder if Rudy has read the 9/11 Commissions Report yet?
6) We need to shrink this government! We need to put the power back into the states where it belongs. We NEED to stop with all the pork barrel “bridges to nowhere” bills. And yes, I admit that I am not all that happy with Obama since these practices still continue.
Well, at least we have something in common. :-)

I guess that’s my bad. I was specifically talking about the one debate when Paul was asked if he was even a viable candidate and Paul gave a GREAT answer.
When the debate was rebroadcast, the entire episode had been cut out.
I call that censorship.
The MSM refused to cover him, even though he was attracting the most attention during the Republican primary.

Posted by: Faurtz8 | January 11, 2010, 11:29 pm 11:29 pm

Faurtz, you are dead on about Ron Paul. I’ve always voted Libertarian — voted for Paul when he ran on that ticket.
I did not vote for Bush — didn’t vote for him when he ran for governor of my state. He is no conservative.
The democrats and republicans are like a two-headed snake. Same body, diffent heads.
Obama is the antithesis of Ron Paul. He is for bloated government — but he’s no different than McCain. These politicians know that the power rests in control of all of us. They want the government to control all aspects of our lives.
I want the government to control NO aspect of my life.
So, other than you think she’s stupid, what’s your beef with Palin? She’s more in line with Ron Paul than any Dem on the market (and they are ALL on the market — for sale to the highest bidder).
As far as health care — it’s a nice thought, but it’s redistribution of wealth and that’s not the right way. People clamor on about the “right” to health care. Phooey! We have the right to religious assembly, but the government doesn’t build the churches. We have the right to bear arms, but the government does not buy us guns and bullets.
There is a lot to be improved in our health system, but the way the libs are going at it is not the way to do it. We are a bankrupt nation. And I really don’t see a way out at this point unless we through all of the bums out and that won’t happen.

First of all, when I say “health care problems” I mean PAYING for it.
I think that so far the best way is a public option. There is nothing political about this to me. All the other industrialized countries have some form of public option and their WORSE system is still twice as good as ours. If someone else can figure out a system that works, I would like to hear it.

You haven’t taken the time to actually get to know the person. I suggest that you and everyone else in this comment board should take the time to read her book. I think before you finish it, your opinion of Sarah, especially your opinion about her IQ, will have improved greatly. There is much about her that you don’t know and that the media has never reported.

When do you think she will quit? Probably when the going gets a little tough.

JimVgirl – secondlook You can say what you will but the fact is she is still making a fortune with her book no matter what it’s selling for. That’s what’s burning all of you liberals up! Her book is selling more than all of you liberals’ books that you have on the market right now combined and you don’t understand it and it just burns you up! You just won’t accept the fact that most Americans are not liberals! Most of us are conservative blue collar workers who work hard for our livings and live in the small towns across America and who commute to work everyday. We are not all city dwellers. We are small town people who still have the conservative small town values that this country was built on. Some of us even still read our Bibles and attend church every Sunday and we are teaching and raising our children to do the same!
***************************************
Jim I’m getting a bit tired of you guys trying to out God me. The last time I checked he wasn’t a registered republican or democrat. You do not know me and you need to cease assuming I am Godless. I am a centrist and I can assure you I have more respect for blue collar workers than this woman you’re taking up for is my guess. In fact it never ceases to amaze me how they talk you guys into thinking it’s just evil if Cindy McCain doesn’t get another tax cut when you make so much less money. BTW, she’s not paying the percentage she tells you she is.
The only thing that burns me up is the fact that the right didn’t learn with the ignorance of Bush to stop voting for ignorance. It seems a large chunk of them wish to raise the bar. Just because somebody tells you they are just like you does not make it so Jim. She’s an elitist that is playing you as well.

Daniel, I’ve said all along that if this woman were less attractive I wouldn’t have to suffer her. Thanks for proving men vote with something else in mind. Good to know you really think about that vote there. And they said women put Kennedy in because he was attractive. Geeez.

Posted by: secondlook | January 12, 2010, 7:47 am 7:47 am

Maybe she will interview Obama and find out where the 7 other states are. I have been searching and can’t find them Obama knows but the media will not ask.

What a joke…..no one in my household will be watching.

I find it sooo arrogant that people think they like and would vote for the woman despite how LITTLE we actually know about the hick woman. She’s deceitful, inarticulate, and flippant (which makes FOX a good place for her cult.) She’s fit to do a shampoo commercial, but that’s about it.

Posted by: Charles | January 12, 2010, 7:59 am 7:59 am

Palin will do great at FOX News; Liberals are scared to death of her as these blog messages show…why – she is one politician who has basic common sense (we don’t need another Harvard graduate aspiring to be a rock star) and she is good looking!

Posted by: Kevin | January 12, 2010, 8:17 am 8:17 am

That just where Sarah Palin needs to be is with her new gig at Fox News Channel.
That is just so sad she went from being a Governor of a state to an news media anchorperson!
The Gop would be so stupid to nominate Sarah Palin as a candidate for the President of the United States ! You can do better than that GOP! That would be the end of the Republican Party!

Don’t get me wrong… I can’t stand the thought of ANY news anchor pretending to be intelligent enough to make “intelligent presidential decisions”… Sarah, I always said that you would probably make a great Fox propoganda mouthpiece.

Posted by: Sarah Failin | January 12, 2010, 9:31 am 9:31 am

Time will tell if she is worth listening to, with regards to political commentary. To date I’ve not been very impressed with her as a commentator, and I didn’t care for her leaving her job as Alaska’s Governor, either.
I do watch Fox news now, as I watch ABC and CBS, and NBC on occasion, and I enjoy watching “Hannity” and “O’Rielly Factor” as much as “This Week” and “World News”.

Posted by: bobtherepublican | January 12, 2010, 9:35 am 9:35 am

What amazes me is how the left embraces elitist “career” politicians over those that have actually acomplished something in their lives. Has Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow ever been elected governor? I know that nobody has elected them to “most popular” news show host, and their lackluster ratings prove it! Sarah Palin saved the McCain ticket from an embarassing defeat. Her popularity cannot be minimized by the rantings of unhinged liberals. Liberals can own their opinions, but not the facts.
The popularity of Fox News is proven by it’s high ratings. Gov. Palin simply adds to that popularity, and the hatred and animosity shown by the left towards her will be an endless source of amusement for middle America.
Be afraid Liberals. Be very afraid. The nation is not with you, and you’ll be confronted with this very, very soon.

Even though she has a lot to learn in history, geography, political science, and economics, her contributions to FNC will be watched w/ wavering interest by the world. We are not certain if indeed she has wised up noticeably so far. Her book reports do not seem to suggest those whimsical ideas of truth.

Twiddle Dumb joins the twiddle dumbers at fox. What a good laugh.

Posted by: josie | January 12, 2010, 10:08 am 10:08 am

Thank God I don’t watch Fox News. She would be enough to turn my stomach during the early morning and evening news! Now she join the other idiots on Fox News.

Congratulations to Sarah Palin to take over as a main commentator on Fox News.
I have written number of comments on her election speeches and subsequent fall on her political fronts in this news website and in New York Times and BBC World Services,All my writings were published.
Her book also enlarges her images for pro and cons on her latest entry into communication arena.
Best wishes to her,hope to get more lively political notes from her.

Wow!! Even with her on FOX, the other major news outlets still can’t be compared to them when it comes to fair and balanced. Trust me, the VP of one of them is my sister!! And she is a leftwing, limosine liberal! Fox wins all day, everyday, and in all markets! Bring the stupid left wing liars now!

Posted by: MSMnutjobsonleft | January 12, 2010, 11:37 am 11:37 am

bngpatsy…I am not sure what your “comments” could have been concerning Sarah Palin, but I do not think that in all my years of voting, I have ever witnessed a person at this level of politics that is inept, inexperienced and downright ignorant as she is. The only thing she “proves” is how politics has gotten so “dumbed down” and so “bitterly partisan”. But, I will give you this: that this
particular “partisanship” is solidifying and is slowly but surely destroying the Republican Party and does nothing to help our nation. On the other hand will she and FOX make money on the deal. Certainly. Because the “base” that watches this network is blind, lives in the past and is unwilling to help proressively change our nation.

Posted by: shrew68 | January 12, 2010, 12:49 pm 12:49 pm

Fox News just keeps adding to its dominance in news media. Actually still the ONLY place where you can get all of the news. Gee I wonder why the lame stream media is getting crushed by Fox?

Posted by: Tony T | January 12, 2010, 1:08 pm 1:08 pm

Before posting my comment I read some of those already logged in. It’s amazing how many of you liberals are so negative with your comments. Maybe she will make an attempt to try and reach you liberal idiots and bring you some enlighting news about Washington. Of course you can alays tune into the liberal networks, like NBC,CBS,ABC and CNN. Maybe Sarah Paling will be able to bring some honest news and comments to the American People much like Laura Ingram on Talk Radio 97.1 FM.

To all you Palin supporters. I want to give you a deeper insight into fox news. 1+1=2, 2+2=4, 2=3+?, For World News on Fox, which is farther north, North or South Korea. What is an antonym for genius, why Fox News. Sarah Palin for President, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.

Posted by: geeman | January 12, 2010, 5:19 pm 5:19 pm

Fox biased….Sure, but what news outlet isn’t??? The question is are they making reasonable points about Obama’s administration…. I don’t see anyone arguing that. Why??? Because you can’t….Obama has been a disaster!!!

Posted by: Will | January 12, 2010, 5:36 pm 5:36 pm

Fox will get some viewers simply to watch the train wreck. The OJ murder trial was watched by millions but that did not mean people liked him.

Posted by: ddb880 | January 12, 2010, 6:57 pm 6:57 pm

I just tried to watch SP on fox, she is dumber than I thought and that is frightening.

If Fox News is balanced and fair then Bin Laden is a peace loving and Iran is the only real democracy.

Posted by: Muhammad | January 13, 2010, 12:05 am 12:05 am

The reason all news stations are making such a big deal about Sarah Palin joining Fox is because they will be losing a lot of viewers to Fox News.

Charles You would know more about her if you would read her book instead of just judging her by what you’ve seen on tv and read on the internet!

I was wondering about the demise of the late-night talk shows. Looks like Fox came up with a fresh source for their monologues!
Posted by: TMS | Jan 12, 2010 5:35:08 AM
Not if it sends FOX’s ratings through the roof! They’ll be too busy then trying to find something that will raise their ratings so that they can keep pace!

Posted by: JimVgirl | January 13, 2010, 8:20 am 8:20 am

BRAVO FOX!!!! While I am not surprised at this venue of her latest employment, she should be a wonderful addition to the McCarthyite reporting of this channel. Can’t wait to hear what her salary is and if it includes bonuses and her new wardrobe. It should make her soooo in touch with her legions of fans. Please keep me informed of her knowledgeable insights in world affairs and politics. I am sure what comes out of her mouth will be the truth and nothing but the truth. Or maybe the devil made her do it. As we know, it is not her fault on what she says or does.

Posted by: TinaT | January 13, 2010, 8:53 am 8:53 am

TinaT Obama doesn’t take the blame for what he does either! He blames all of his problems on George Bush!

I watched the news from the Tea Party Convention at which Sarah Palin gave the Key Note Speech.
Did anyone else notice how much older she is looking?
Someone please tell her that she is no longer a teen-ager and she is wearing her hair too long for her age. Instead of making her look young, it actually makes her look older. She needs to add a good hair stylist to her support group.
