Report: Palin parts ways with Fox News
posted at 6:51 pm on January 25, 2013 by Allahpundit
Her choice, not theirs, according to a source who spoke to RCP.
After a three-year run as a paid contributor to the nation’s highest-rated cable news channel, Sarah Palin and FOX News have cut ties, according to a source close to the former Alaska governor.
“It’s my understanding that Gov. Palin was offered a contract by FOX, and she decided not to renew the arrangement,” the source close to Palin told RCP. “She remains focused on broadening her message of common-sense conservatism across the country and will be expanding her voice in the national discussion.”
The source declined to say whether Palin would pursue a television contract with another news network, such as CNN.
Not surprising given what happened last year at the convention, although the Times claims she and Fox were negotiating a new contract as recently as last week. Maybe she has another offer on the table that’s sweeter than theirs?
My first thought when I read the RCP piece was that Mark Begich is up for reelection next year and is already preparing for a strong conservative challenge, but NRO’s Robert Costa tweets some skepticism:
About Sarah Palin leaving Fox News: After spending day talking w/ Alaskans, I doubt she’s running for anything. Hear she lives mostly in AZ
— Robert Costa (@robertcostaNRO) January 25, 2013
I thought challenging Begich, a weak blue incumbent in a very red state, was her best bet back to political office, but maybe she’s transitioned to Arizona now. (Costa hears that she’s still occasionally in touch with Joe Miller, who appears to be planning to challenge Begich himself.) If not politics, then what? Hard to believe she’d trade Fox for CNN. Maybe … Glenn Beck’s network, The Blaze? It had 300,000 online subscribers as of last summer and must have many more now, especially since Dish Network started airing it in September. And Beck’s aggressively trying to promote it, from making a bid on Current TV to gain a platform on basic cable to opening foreign bureaus in hopes of becoming a sort of libertarian alternative to Fox. She’d instantly raise the network’s profile and bring in new viewers. And there’s plenty of room on the programming schedule for her: The channel currently airs from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET with a two-hour block free from 2-4 so they could give her her own show if that’s what she has in mind. If I had to bet, I’d bet that’s where she goes.

You must not know how this blog generally works. This post attracted hundreds of comments within an hour of being uploaded to the site yesterday. For 99.999999999% of posts, that would be enough to bump it up to the top left, in the “Top Picks” section. Some earlier posts (therefore further down the page) which attracted only 100-150 comments were moved over after this post had garnered 400-500 comments. Yet this post remains on the right-hand side in the low-comment post ghetto. Explain how that makes sense.

Harkin D IA who made his millions by laundering taxpayer funds through companies his wife represents then back to them in wages and benefits is the rule rather than the exception in DC. They all have family members sucking at the taxpayer teat, but Harkin is unique as the dementia is getting too bad to hide even when his staff scotches his afternoon appointments.
Only the Rats would have a Dementia unit potential patient heading up the Mental Health Committee!
This crony capitalism is the reason Sarah gets no traction inside the DC eGOP circles. She would come to town and blow their playhouses down. Her track record is against Govt corruption no matter which side of the isle thus the eGOP is as afraid as the Rats are of their gravy train ending.

The harkin stuff above is all over the internet and Dingy Harry reids corruption is well known. The Repunks McCain and Grahamnasty are up to their eye balls in the Libyan illegal war and arms sales to AlQeada affiliates I betcha and Palin would be a threat to them all.
I hope to hell she runs and tears their playhouse down. we could balance the budget on the backs of congress and senate by limiting their staffs to 10 and denying their expensive junkets, along with cutting off their taxpayer financing of friends relatives and crony capitalists like GE, Solydra, GM and the Big Banks

I don’t believe a Palin Presidency in and of itself could do what is needed. No President at this time could imo. Until we have control of the House & Senate and replace the current leadership.
This is why I think Sarah has concentrated on electing Conservatives for the House & Senate. We made a good start in 2010, but have a ways to go.
Reid, Boehner & McConnell would block everything, just as they do now.

You miss my point! I believe Sarah Palin is unique in that she got involved in politics BECAUSE of the CORRUPTION. She ran against it and WON doing so every time except with McDumbass.
Sarah Knows full well the corruption inside DC and she could very well bide her time until she feels her kids are old enough or the electorate is ready for REAL CHANGE. At the rate this corrupt regime is burning through our childrens wages and their childrens after them she may be able to pull it off in 2016.
Its all there for the exposing and exploiting. She is an outsider only an outsider can do it the insiders are all complicit, dirty in one way or another!
What if a politician ran as say a Tea Party candidate against the tax and spend the bribery and payoffs to cooperate giants, the corrupt union bosses influence peddling and the crony kickbacks to family members by the DC elites.
What if such a person compiled resumes on most all DC insiders and published a Facebook post on examples each each day for a year and started over when through?
Is the country ready to see what guides it with eyes wide open or do they just need a little push to open them and elect a reformer?

Sarah could drag the rest of the media howling and screaming into exposing the corrupt influence peddling inside DC if she were to stand and scream it loud enough, she could rattle some cages to the core and have a lot more senile old fools resigning their posts rather than be exposed for the corrupt old fools and panderers they are.

Wow, expected this post to be long buried by now.
It’s almost like people are still paying attention to Sarah Palin. Which seems odd, since the entire GOP basically ignored her during the last election. And we all know how well that worked out!
I’ll say it again: I don’t know if Sarah Palin is the best person to choose for the presidency, but she sure beats all the choices we had last time.
The comparison with Mitt is just inevitable. The man had no business in the White House. Better him than Obama, of course, but there just wasn’t enough good about him to convince the people in the middle to jump ship. And the people in the middle were the only ones he was trying to convince!
