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.

I’m in for that!! Thanks Mr. Kool:-) I did sort of mess up tho since she was trying to get in the good graces of ALT early today:-)

Kudos! (I thought you might be getting tired of ‘Bravo!’)
To the victor go the spoils.

Hey steebo you can’t have all of those medals. We helped!!! LOL
We should at least get a sticker or something, a ribbon?
Oh, the House troll, gets banned!
bluefox on February 10, 2013 at 4:59 PM
LOL, good one. Step 4 is our objective:-)
bluefox on February 10, 2013 at 5:01 PM
Sorry about your Mom’s eyesight. Is she reading actual books or e-books? I don’t have a Kindle but have a free app from Amazon that downloads any Kindle e-book to my PC. They have free e-books too.
I like it because I can enlarge the text!!
You may already know about this, but thot I’d mention it just in case.
bluefox on February 10, 2013 at 5:08 PM
Spoiled fish, that is.
steebo77 on February 10, 2013 at 5:18 PM
Thanks bluefox. No she is just very old. Cataracts, macular degeneration. crescents, stringers etc. She manages a few books a week and the newspaper even so. Very powerful magnifier glass.
Bmore on February 10, 2013 at 5:18 PM
Are you saying I didn’t build that?
“I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve won enough medals.”
steebo77 on February 10, 2013 at 5:19 PM
wow page 29 … awesome … and did I hear correctly
the house troll (gilled one) got banned?
conservative tarheel on February 10, 2013 at 5:29 PM
Awwww. My Mom had similar problems for years. No Tablets available in those years and she had to do with a magnifying glass also.
I just thot maybe the e-books may be easier and better with the ability to enlarge the text. I have a Nook Color and it works well, but with the Amazon free app, I have a larger selection of e-books:-)
bluefox on February 10, 2013 at 5:30 PM
That’s exactly what I’m saying, LOL Hey Obie, don’t make me contact the good Dr.:-)
bluefox on February 10, 2013 at 5:31 PM
What are we going to do to celebrate Sarah’s birthday tomorrow?
Post a few of her great quotes? Or?
bluefox on February 10, 2013 at 5:33 PM
No, but she did get gigged.
Bmore on February 10, 2013 at 5:36 PM
We could ask AP to post a Palin Birthday thread as I’m sure he’ll go for that:-)
bbl time to cook!
Keep the trolls busy “upstairs”, LOL
bluefox on February 10, 2013 at 5:37 PM
Well, whirlygiged anyhow.
Bmore on February 10, 2013 at 5:37 PM

Bmore on February 10, 2013 at 5:38 PM
Oh, my! That is sooooo awesome Bmore, LOL
bluefox on February 10, 2013 at 5:41 PM
Before I go off to cook, wanted to mention that Adobe put out a critical zero day on 2/7. I updated my PC’s. It has to do with security issues involving ads on websites that use Flash (which don’t?) And as many ads HA puts up the risk is greater.
I just opened a new window on one of the threads and the comments weren’t even updated. I had to refresh the thread. I don’t know what their webmaster is doing, but it’s not acting correctly.
bluefox on February 10, 2013 at 5:52 PM
Not sure if you have tried running this. I do and am very happy. I am on a mac. Do use FF though. I was not happy with FF’s ad blocker.
Bmore on February 10, 2013 at 5:58 PM
That’s still amazing. I’m glad to hear she was not too affected by the snowstorm.

She is well South of the blizzard. Thankfully!
Bmore on February 10, 2013 at 7:17 PM
We have tried to get her interested in that. She is stubborn. Gonna keep trying it her way until……well…..she can’t. Lol! Oddly she does watch and has as her favorite Shep. I try to stay off that subject with her. ; )
Bmore on February 10, 2013 at 7:19 PM
No, I’ve never tried that, but will read about it. My network are all PC’s:-) but I’m sure that wouldn’t make a difference. Never cared for FF and their constant updating to new versions are as bad as Adobe, Microsoft and their constant updates:-)
However, just to clarify this latest Flash Player update, it’s the Flash ads have malicious code in some; that is the risk. Not the fact of blocking the ads. You don’t have to click on the ads at all. At least that’s my understanding from the Security site info.
I just try to keep updates current to avoid any Malware, since I’ve had it before. Shut my entire system down and only having another laptop was I able to get rid of it. MBAM helped me or my PC would have been frozen.
Perhaps this Do not track site prevents malware? I haven’t read it yet, but will.
Downton Abbey is on:-)
bluefox on February 10, 2013 at 8:07 PM
Not sure what that is, but to the other. Its why many are moving away from flash and moving to html5. Of course mac has had a large hand in this change. Its why many devices no longer support flash. I find flash to be little more than a pain in the ass for what it does. html5 does a better job in most instances. Adobe I believe made an error with the investment in flash. When they first took possession of it they were slow to fix many of the issues. I am starting to think it may disappear all together in a few years. PC’s are inherently at more risk to corruption due to the way Gates insisted on writing the source codes over many years. Mac seldom if ever had any issues on that front. Though last year it has its first major attack. I have 5 macs none of them were even affected in the least. I did however install for the first time ever an anti-vius software. Its called Sophos. Not sure if it is just mac or not. It seems to do a great job, but with macs because there are so few incidents it is hard to tell. Lol! ; )
Bmore on February 10, 2013 at 8:17 PM
love it … and will checkout sophos … I have 2 macs… no viruses ….
but I like a little insurance

Sarah Palin: She still has Facebook!
Fallon on February 10, 2013 at 10:55 PM
Downton Abbey is the blockbuster award winning series on PBS!
I had two taped shows to watch and the one on tonight, LOL. Whether it’s HTML5 or Flash, the bad guys will find a way I think. Too much money in what they do.
A family member with an iMac got their email hi-jacked and I had them install Kaspersky since they
had no AV/AS at all. Found around 15 or more trojans of various variants in files/Win32, etc. Since I receive
emails from them, I started getting emails from websites I had never emailed but they had!! So I have them
now email another account and keep my other email secure:-)
Kaspersky has also detected for them a couple of attempts at virus attacks so that’s good.

Good Night Fallon, Pleasant Dreams

Was it web based email, cause Yahoo and AOL are getting killed right now.
Bmore on February 10, 2013 at 11:50 PM
Great articles, thanks so much for posting them. I’ve been watching TV most of the evening:-)
PPP, the Progressive Policy Polling outfit? LOL They would like nothing better than a contest between Palin & Clinton. Good luck Clinton trying to defend Obama. Even her own supporters wouldn’t buy that. What is she going to say, “the devil made me do it?”
I don’t personally think Sarah is going to make a run. Think she’ll do the same thing she did in 2010 and 2012. Get some opposition with backbone into Congress.
Sarah didn’t need Fox to get her message out before and don’t need them now. Those left wing traitors get on my nerves, LOL
bluefox on February 10, 2013 at 11:54 PM
No, it was thru their ISP, Roadrunner via Time Warner. I’ve tried and tried to get them to change it, but some people think they know it all?
AOL is a place to stay away from for sure. They install stuff without your permission and knowledge!!
Yahoo, I’m not sure what’s going on with them. They’ve made a lot of changes with spam control, etc and tried to make the site more secure. But it could be that the volume of people that use Yahoo has something to do with it. You’d be surprised the risky programs/activex controls that are on people’s computers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY AND WHATEVER YOU
DECIDE, KNOW THAT YOU HAVE MILLIONS THAT WILL SUPPORT YOU!!

Hey ya’ll, we need to get some more good Sarah supporters to join us here. Discreetly, not a public ad, LOL Some of you should know how to do that.

OUCH ! ….. I hate it when that happens.

Are you sure about that? I think Bmore would know:-)
Have a good night! I know I won’t have any trouble going to sleep as late as it is, LOL
bluefox on February 11, 2013 at 2:39 AM
If Sarah Palin abandoned her divisive ways and instead worked to unify Relublicans, then I think I could become a fan. If she doesn’t run, and if she tries to bring people together instead of dividing them, then I would feel very good about her. She also needs to study up a bit on the issues and act a bit more professionally in tv interview situations.
The worst thing about Palin are her groupies who badmouth any Republican not named Palin.
Three required things to get Palin back on my good side:
1) she abandons her divisiveness
2) she doesn’t run for president, and she quits the silly “will I? won’t I?” tease.
3) her obsessed groupies are taught to shape up. Most probably can be reformed (and in the last two years many have lost interest in her, anyway), but those that can’t should be marginalized.

It just came to me. I know what you Sarah Palin cultists reminds me of now. You remind me of the fanatic Justin Bieber fans who go around battling anyone online who says that Justin Bieber has no talent. For the record, I think Bieber has talent.
The Justin Bieber fanatics are called Beliebers, and the Sarah Palin fanatics are called Palinistas.

I see that Mitt’s HA spokesperson is back and doing s/he/its best to distract and divide. But, when will s/he/it answer some questions
1) Why doesn’t Mitt run for the US Senate seat vacant in MA? It’s another “box” to check?
2) How has his son telling the truth about Mitt not really wanting to be POTUS affected family harmony?
3) Is it really true, as Huey Lewis once said, that it’s hip to be square?…
Gohawgs on February 11, 2013 at 9:40 AM
Anchorage was recently declared one of America’s best cities for hipsters by Travel + Leisure. :)

No way. That is the funniest thing. They have invaded up there, too? I will take a Sarah Palin any day over those hipsters.

Fallon on February 11, 2013 at 10:57 AM
I like that!!
bluefox on February 11, 2013 at 11:04 AM
Cool! I like the Art Cake one.

Whichever you choose, you’re making me hungry. Rusty did that the other night with mentioning steak burgers:-)

conservative tarheel on February 11, 2013 at 11:14 AM
so I shouldn’t mention the beef potpie w/biscuit topping we had last night
or the left over Chinese we are having tonite?
chicken chow-mien w/sticky rice .. and steak kew w/ sticky rice and egg rolls?
I won’t mention it then. :D
conservative tarheel on February 11, 2013 at 11:28 AM
Sad but true. A disgrace. I’ve forgotten what State Kyle came from, but wonder if the Governor is flying Flags at half-staff?
N.J. Christie did for that singer.
bluefox on February 11, 2013 at 11:37 AM
Oh, now that’s it. Have to go eat, LOL I think I’d like the Beef Potpie rather than the Chinese:-)
Dire and I were out late last night; PC issues.

Potluck at the bonfire tonight in celebration? I can bring fried chicken, blackeyed peas with bacon and mashed potatoes.
Would that she could join us. She’d probably bring grilled salmon or her moose stew.
Opinionator on February 11, 2013 at 1:00 PM
I missed some of that, but I think he’s was saying something about the left wing putting Rubio up in a negative way. Also in the SOTU message, Obama may put Rubio’s Immigration plans and ideas down.
Was doing laundry so heard bits and pieces:-) Maybe someone else can fill in.
bluefox on February 11, 2013 at 1:01 PM
Hi Opinionator, was wondering where you were:-) I’m glad I ate since all these food mentions were making me hungry. Good recipe for “Moose Stew”, LOL
Sarah & Todd may be having Texas BBQ today tho.
bluefox on February 11, 2013 at 1:06 PM
Maybe this one would be even more appropriate for Sarah these days? Happy Birthday Sarah!
Bmore on February 11, 2013 at 1:13 PM
That’s what I think :). I noticed her salmon has sort of a Carolina BBQ sauce flair with cider vinegar.
I’ve checked in but didn’t want to be a big mouth around here. Last night I came in late – very tired – saw all the “lasts” and then neglected to notice there was a new page (!) Lol

I like the idea of a smorgasbord of fried chicken, grilled salmon, moose stew, Texas BBQ and all the trimmings. Yum. We’ll follow with a flaming Baked Alaska. Who’s good with lighting things on fire? I bet we can even fit the North Star whirlygigg on the buffet table as a centerpiece. Now, where did I put those grizzly bear balloons…?
