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.

Can’t sleep, I think I clicked on a virus in an email and I’m trying to figure out how to fix or detect it or if it’s too late.
Fallon on January 30, 2013 at 2:02 AM
i see that robert costa penned a love sonnet to marco rubio over at nro. the same robert costa, that within nano seconds of Sarah’s announcement leaving fox, tweeted to the world that he had already spoken to trillions of Alaskans, and that Sarah had no hope whatsoever, not even a teensy bit. of ever being elected into office.
the charade is so transparent. RUN SARAH RUN!!!
renalin on January 30, 2013 at 5:10 AM
Thanks a bunch.
Hmmm.
She’s also extremely gifted at balancing a budget, renouncing privileges, fighting corruption, being annoyingly ethical and working with everyone for the common good.
But who needs these qualities nowadays, especially in a politician?

Whether she runs or not, we know she will always STAND!! And that is what the haters hate, LOL
We know that to have as many enemies that Sarah has, she’s right on target!!
Go Sarah!!
bluefox on January 30, 2013 at 10:35 AM
Thanks for the link. Wow and even after that, the R’s did nothing.
The attack on Sarah as the author described served both parties.
Because the Republican party doesn’t know how to play offense or defense, they certainly deserve the title of Stupid Party.
bluefox on January 30, 2013 at 11:09 AM
That Daily Mail article was informative. I wasn’t aware “Then months later, in April 2012, Mr Ailes bluntly stated Palin ‘had no chance to be president’ during a speech at the University of North Carolina.
I thot the article was truthful, unlike the MSM lies about her departure from Fox.
bluefox on January 30, 2013 at 11:20 AM
This from C4P…
Mr. L discussed the moronic ‘Sarah Palin’s fall from media stardom’ article by Howard Kurtz for its lack of logic and hypocrisy. He also discussed some idiotic comments on HotAir by people reciting shop-worn, hackneyed 2008 anti-Palin talking points and could not even spell either “governor” or the name of their purported “more qualified” politician correctly.
He concluded that Gov. Palin has a track record of proving all such people wrong.
ROFL!!

Note from Senior Management:
On Wednesday of this week, Breitbart News will be launching a new feature/vertical on our website called “The Conversation.” Look for it in the navigation bar.
The Conversation will be a place where our readers can watch an ongoing dialogue amongst a select group of thought leaders that includes Ace of Spades, Iowahawk, David Webb, Javier Manjarres of Shark Tank, DocZero, Nice Deb, Jerome Hudson, Lisa De Pasquale, William A. Jacobson of Legal Insurrection, and Adam Baldwin, along with John Nolte, Ben Shapiro, Larry O’Connor, Sonnie Johnson, Liberty Chick, Jon David Kahn, as well as other writers and contributors from Breitbart News.
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/01/28/Announcing-The-Conversation
I like it from what I’ve seen so far.
bluefox on January 30, 2013 at 1:30 PM
Checking in…
Gohawgs on January 30, 2013 at 3:27 PM
I don’t know what it did if anything. I got a message from a friend to check out an article. My friend’s son is a headcase who recently got arrested for stealing from a store, so I clicked on the link. I got an error message and then bells went off in my head. My friend wouldn’t send such a cryptic message, Duh! I closed my computer and ran diagnostics (Norton) with no results. I don’t know if my email has been hacked or not. I just feel stupid.
I checked the email origination and it was my friends account but I still think it was an attack. I just don’t know what kind. It started out http://bit.ly/Uz… Actually, I think I accidentally included my friend’s name at the end of the link, so I might have really received an error message. Incompetence rules!!!
Sad that the Daily Mail is more interesting and informative than stateside papers.
And, lastly, I’m going to check out The Conversation. I really like some of the writers, especially Doc Zero and Iowahawk.
(I guess it wasn’t “lastly,” Hi Gohawgs!)
Fallon on January 30, 2013 at 4:03 PM
Same thing happened to me yesterday. I opened an email from an old MRash buddy that had a tiny url. I ran Spybot, Malwarebytes, CCleaner and my antivirus and they found nothing. But, I didn’t change my email password. Two hours later, my email is spamming everyone in my contact list.
Last night, I ran all the above again (still nothing found) AND changed my email password. I changed the password again today…
So, if you haven’t changed your email password, do so…
Gohawgs on January 30, 2013 at 4:49 PM
Iowahawk and Legal Insurrection in one place is a good thing…
Gohawgs on January 30, 2013 at 4:53 PM
Was it Norton who was sending you the error message? (supposedly, Norton is also protecting your email box and your Internet browsing…)
Because if so, you don’t have anything to worry about (I’m not talking out of thin air, I’m an IT).
Re: The Conversation.
I find the concept very interesting BUT the interface really sucks. I mean, it’s a list of blog entries. Very hard in the end to “follow” the conversation.
They should choose an interface a bit like HA, where each box would display the original post + links to the responses. Or the last response + links to preceding exchanges etc.
BabyGrace on January 30, 2013 at 5:19 PM
If I may, you should try to set your antivirus for mail protection too. And if it has an “Internet protection” option (they almost all have it), for your browsing too.
The main dangers come from outside, rarely from programs you install yourself (except when you’re installing some warez deliberately). Hence, an antivirus that only protects the hard drive and not the exchanges with the outside world is practically useless.
BabyGrace on January 30, 2013 at 5:25 PM
I wonder what would be Ace’s reaction if she did lol.
BabyGrace on January 30, 2013 at 5:28 PM
I would follow Gohawgs advice on changing your email password. But what I would do first is make sure you have Malwarebytes, the ondemand free version. Download it, update it. Minimize it, close all other open windows. Next, disable everything Norton temporarily. Run a full scan of Malwarebytes. They find a lot that other Anti-Virus don’t. If it finds anything, follow the instructions for it to be removed. Then go ahead and enable your Norton again.
I agree the out of Country sites have more info than here. And most are not so biased (to be kind)
bluefox on January 30, 2013 at 5:48 PM
Good advice. I’m sure you already know not to run more than one Anti-Virus in Real time at the same time; ok for Anti-Spyware tho.
I had a couple of friends that happened to, spamming everyone in their contact list. Nasty stuff!!
bluefox on January 30, 2013 at 5:56 PM

Funny how you don’t hear Sarah’s name being bantied about in gabby giffords attempts to repeal the 2nd amendment.
and now the immigration debate rages. who cares what the rest of the clowns have to say, all i care is what Sarah has to say, cause it’ll be the same as yesterday and 20 years from now.
Yet thats part of her brilliance. She still knows its all about our worsening spending and obamacare.
can hardly wait till the “Cuda surfaces.

For the purpose of just credibility…someone at HotAir should tell its readers “What’s up?…people kept asking!

Yes, I’ll be glad to hear from Sarah too. I’m sure she’ll be taking a rest for a bit and re-grouping.
Hope she’ll post something on that new Breitbart section:-)

Since we didn’t say anything before about this thread going to Top Picks, doubt if now would do any good. We may not be able to post anymore here.
I think they’ve made some changes. The address bar now extends completely across the top. It doesn’t on this thread, but on all on the main page. If that isn’t a HA change, then I wonder where the change came from? Oh, well, I’ll find out:-)

her husband has in print and video interviews (eg piers morgan) disparaged Sarah.
since they share the same i am assuming that gabby shares the same opinions.
she also never backed off on the meme that she was targeted by Sarah by using “crosshairs”
thats the unforgiveable sin to me. to ascribe an outright lie to someone else. gabby despite the bullet in her brain, remains a leftist. probably more so now. her beliefs, sadly enough, stand a better chance of being protected under a Palin administration that any liberal one.

i never in my life thought that my fellow Americans would be so passive in their acquiescence to the left. sure we made rumblings with the tea party, but that was it. co opted by the elitists its has now shrunk to nothing.
so much so that Sarah ignored a recent “tea party” request that she stand up for the 2nd amendment.

Mr L, now that was football! You may or may not have seen me mention this before. My neighbor played in one of Mr. L’s games. Not for him, but as a running back for Mr. L’s adversary in the game. Historically it is known as the Icebowl. Can you guess who my neighbor might be? Hint; eventually this man went on to do some pretty great stuff as both a player but particularly as a coach. It has been said, by fans of the team he coached, his nickname was marblemouth. ; )
Bmore on January 31, 2013 at 3:28 PM
My early years were spent in NW Wisconsin. Vince Lombardi came to Green Bay the year I was born and I vaguely remember the Super Bowl years.
Family story, I am not the only one in my family who is sometimes too literal. My sister, upon hearing an announcer say something about “Ray Nitschke, good ole 66…” exclaimed, “Wow, he plays pretty good for being that old.”
I’m living in the land of the Bears now, but when they aren’t playing each other, I’m not-so-secretly a Pack fan. Once you go Pack, you never go back.
