From FoxNews:

2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is joining Fox News as a contributor, the news channel announced Monday.

The former Alaska governor, whose book, Going Rogue: An American Life, became a bestseller weeks before it was released and remains No. 2 on the New York Times bestseller list, has signed a multi-year deal to offer her political commentary and analysis across all Fox News platforms, including Fox Business Channel, FoxNews.com and Fox News Radio.

She will also participate in special event political programming for Fox Broadcasting.

"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," Palin said in a written release.

Palin will also host periodic episodes of Fox News Channel's "Real American Stories," a series exploring inspirational real-life tales of overcoming adversity throughout the American landscape that will debut in 2010.

"Governor Palin has captivated everyone on both sides of the political spectrum and we are excited to add her dynamic voice to the FOX News lineup," said Bill Shine, executive vice president of programming.

Prior to joining Sen. John McCain on the 2008 presidential ticket, Palin was the first woman to serve as governor of Alaska, taking the oath in 2006. As governor, she worked on improving resource development, education, health and transportation and infrastructure development.

Prior to holding the office of governor, Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council in Alaska as well as two terms as the mayor and manager of Wasilla, and worked as an oil and gas industry regulator.

Owned by News Corp, Fox News Channel is a 24-hour general news service covering breaking news as well as political, entertainment and business news, and has been the most-watched cable news channel in the country for eight years running. It features the top 13 programs in cable news and can be seen in more than 90 million homes.

The public exposure will further dispell the main stream media's portrayal of her as an idiot and greatly increase her popularity.

"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," Palin said in a written release.

She is a great American and may go into the history books as a true American hero.

American jounalism is in the toilet and the biggest threat to our nation and way of life in modern times...If it were not for Fox News Channel, AM Radio and the internet, the flow of information would be orwellian.

I agree. I voted for McCain purely because of Palin. If he had won I would have anxiously been awaiting his demise so she could take over.

As a FOX contributor she can get on and give opinions. She will guest with the various shows but I doubt she will go head to head with any liberals. It's great that she will get so much air time. And when she does announce her plans to run FOX will get the exclusive. She gets paid and gets free exposure.

Sorry bout that,

1. Oh so shes going into broadcasting then?
2. Putting up her boxing gloves and shoes then, and trading them for a pen and ink job?
3. She won't be able to switch back to politics now that shes crossed over.
4. Well perhaps it's time she faced reality, then, tuff break ol gal, if this was meant to be a temp position.
5. She can do a lot for the politics of the day, by being infront of a camera each day anyways.
6. Look how powerful Rush is, the most powerful man not in high office.
7. Go gettem Sarah Palin, hope you all the best, if you're reading this!

Well BP - Let's compare against stupid things Obama has said:

I'll betcha she knows there are not 57 states;

or that spreading the wealth around is an idiotic thing to say;

or that the Spreme Court wasn't radical enough;

or how about this one: "It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

or this one:

"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed." --on a Kansas tornado that killed 12 people

BP - just because you haven't seen his gaffs parodied on SNL doesn't mean he is more intelligent than Sarah Palin.

HEY STUPID !!!!!

Poll: Fox Trounces MSNBC in Influence

As the cable wars carry on, a new poll finds that Fox News informs roughly five adults for every one adult informed by MSNBC.

The Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll asked: “From which ONE of the following national television news sources do you get MOST of your information about politics and current events?”

Fully 27 percent said Fox. Only 5 percent said MSNBC. Meanwhile, 16 percent said CNN and 36 percent cited the major networks.

But the contest of note is MSNBC and Fox. The rivalry, the networks, have become surrogates for the two political tribes of American politics. The blue tribe controls Washington but this is one bout the red tribe takes with ease.

Meanwhile, as The New York Times details, CNN falls behind MSNBC for the first time this year in the ratings race. But as the Journal poll would hint, and so much data has before, on top is Fox — 2009 marks Fox's greatest ratings year yet. It's no wonder President Obama eventually decided that even he could no longer ignore this Fox.

Being able to string words together to make a cogent, coherent sentence is elitist? Not so much. In an earlier era, it was a sign of education, intelligence and just good grammar. George W. Bush was the epitome of the fundamental anti-intellectualism of the right which has undermined the intellectual basis of American conservatism. Your views are simply an echo of that.

But their ever increasing hatred and fear of Sarah Palin tells us of the threat they rightfully perceive her to be.

If the liberal media did not consider her to be a threat they wouldn't waste the precious air time they spend slandering her.

Without realizing it they are helping Sarah Palin and the conservative cause while exposing their bias and liberal agenda. :dance:

lol, anit-intellectualism, undermining the intellectual basis of American conservatism..good gawd, who goes around speaking like that..certainly not the majority of the American people..that is why they prefer someone who speaks their language (you know plain talk)..not this high and mighty I'm more educated than you so for that I am better..which is what it projects.

Have you ever heard Obama speak without a teleprompter? not a pretty thing to watch. and I know for me I don't care for a President or any person who talks "down" to me..

your views have become the echo of the snobbery that has become Liberalism.

I like what Thomas Sowell has to say about Gov. Palin:

February 24, 2009
"Not One of Us"
By Thomas Sowell

If Barack Obama has been the most remarkable phenomenon of the recent political scene, Sarah Palin must be second. The emotional responses to each-- especially by the media and the intelligentsia -- go beyond anything that can be explained by the usual political differences of opinion on issues of the day.

That liberals would be thrilled by another liberal is not surprising. But there are conservative Republicans who voted for Barack Obama, and other conservatives who may not have voted for him, but who are quick to see in various pragmatic moves of his since taking office an indication that he is not an extremist.

Anyone familiar with history knows that Hitler and Stalin were pragmatic. After years of denouncing each other, they signed the Nazi-Soviet pact under which they became allies for a couple of years before going to war against one another.

Pragmatism tells you nothing about extremism. But the conservative intellectuals who seize upon President Obama's pragmatism to give him the benefit of the doubt are obviously bending over backward for some reason.

With Governor Palin, it is just the opposite. The conservative intelligentsia who react against her have remarkably little to say that will stand up to scrutiny. People who actually dealt with her, before she became a national figure, have expressed how much they were impressed by her intelligence.

Governor Palin's "inexperience" is a talking point that might have some plausibility if it were not for the fact that Barack Obama has far less experience in actually making policies than Sarah Palin has. Joe Biden has had decades of experience in being both consistently wrong and consistently a source of asinine statements.

Governor Palin's candidacy for the vice presidency was what galvanized grass roots Republicans in a way that John McCain never did. But there was something about her that turned even some conservative intellectuals against her and provoked visceral anger and hatred from liberal intellectuals.

Perhaps the best way to try to understand these reactions is to recall what Eleanor Roosevelt said when she first saw Whittaker Chambers, who had accused Alger Hiss of being a spy for the Soviet Union. Upon seeing the slouching, overweight and disheveled Chambers, she said, "He's not one of us."

The trim, erect and impeccably dressed Alger Hiss, with his Ivy League and New Deal pedigree, clearly was "one of us." As it turned out, he was also a liar and a spy for the Soviet Union. Not only did a jury decide that at the time, the opening of the secret files of the Soviet Union in its last days added more evidence of his guilt.

The Hiss-Chambers confrontation of more than half a century ago produced the same kind of visceral polarization that Governor Sarah Palin provokes today.

Before the first trial of Alger Hiss began, reporters who gathered at the courthouse informally sounded each other out as to which of them they believed, before any evidence had been presented. Most believed that Hiss was telling the truth and that it was Chambers who was lying.

More important, those reporters who believed that Chambers was telling the truth were immediately ostracized. None of this could have been based on the evidence for either side, for that evidence had not yet been presented in court.

For decades after Hiss was convicted and sent to federal prison, much of the media and the intelligentsia defended him. To this day, there is an Alger Hiss chair at Bard College.

Why did it matter so much to so many people which of two previously little-known men was telling the truth? Because what was on trial was not one man but a whole vision of the world and a way of life.

Governor Sarah Palin is both a challenge and an affront to that vision and that way of life-- an overdue challenge, much as Chambers' challenge was overdue.

Whether Governor Palin runs for national office again is something that only time will tell. But the Republicans need some candidate who is neither one of the country club Republicans nor-- worse yet-- the sort of person who appeals to the intelligentsia.

I like Sarah because she doesn't look down her nose at the average American..and understands what type of people made America what it is....and it's people like her and her family.....people who work hard and give back to their communities any way they can. The people who don't like her are just envious because she has it all.
