Late on Friday is where
everyone releases news information when they don’t want anyone to pay attention
to the news. So it was entirely
appropriate that late Friday the world found out (as though the world cares)
that Sarah Palin would not
be returning to Fox News as a commentator.
Gone From Fox News - Hopefully the First Step Towards Being Forgotten |
Sarah
Palin has parted ways with Fox News after a three-year run with the network,
according to reports.
Real Clear Politics reported Friday that
the former Alaska
governor will no longer be a paid contributor on Fox News. Palin joined Fox
News in 2009, after she resigned as Alaska
governor.
Of course, like every
other story involving the former Governor of Alaska this one had to contain
some element of falsehood.
“It’s my understanding that Gov. Palin was offered a contract by
FOX, and she decided not to renew the arrangement,” a source described as
“close to Palin” told Real Clear Politics.
Yes anyone who has
observed Gov. Palin over the last several years knows that Ms. Palin would
never turn away from getting paid, so this decision was Fox News not Ms.
Palin. And here’s hoping Fox News will
use this first step of recovery from its addiction to spreading right wing
propaganda and maybe really become a news network. Given the state of news reporting in America , more
and better is just urgently needed.
Your hope about Fox News is the most optimistic thing ever written on this site. Far more likely is that Fox did not renew Palin because she has lost her inexplicable appeal and can be replaced at a much lower cost.
