FAUX Dumps Flailin' Palin


Fox News will not renew its contract with Sarah Palin, whose bombastic appearances have been a cable staple since the former Alaska governor’s failed run on John McCain’s ticket in the 2008 presidential election cycle. When asked for comment, a Fox News spokesperson confirmed the network had amicably parted ways with the governor on June 1.

Palin, 51, is expected to make occasional guest appearances on Fox and Fox Business, and will appear on other networks and cables. She has a show on the Sportsman Channel, does a lot of speeches, and will announce a new publishing project soon.

When Palin was at her zenith, she made frequent appearances, and Fox installed a camera at her house. But executives consider her less relevant now, and her appearances were sometimes hampered by the vast time difference with Alaska. She remains a huge conservative force on Facebook, with 4.5 million fans – twice that of Rand Paul, who has the biggest reach in the 2016 field. She also has 1.15 million Twitter followers.

Palin’s Facebook page got a new look at midnight, including a new cover photo with a quote from her announcement speech in Dayton, Ohio: “I didn’t get into government to do the safe and easy things. A ship in harbor is safe but that’s not why the ship is built.”

It appears that Mooselini has smacked headfirst into that wall.

Gov. Palin did not do a ‘failed run’.

She was attacked by Romney and Rove and Wallace,
and, by gosh, the same people that run Fox “News”
which is an Obama-loving station.

Palin is past peak freshness when compared against the assorted young strippers employed by Fox.

No surprise, as Sarah has been lowering her profile and Fox News is drifting ever leftward.

Maybe she just didn’t have enough sleeveless short dresses and didn’t want to wear the ones from Fox News Central Wardrobe.

If I were Palin....I’d go out to Arizona, and work my way up to being Senator. Give up any idea of the White House for a dozen years and just show some accomplishments rather than talking a lot.

Well she was a governor and got off to a great start. She was a VP candidate. However since then she hasn't done much. We need more people like her in the US Senate. Someone like her should be majority leader.

I expect less clowns, more Megan Kellys... same crap coming out of their mouths, though. Honestly for the money FOX gave her what did she add? The answer is nothing so why pay her? You can get stupid from a more professional less demanding news reader for far cheaper.

That's the usual announcement given when an asshole like this is shit canned.

Faux and The Quitter must not have seen eye to eye if she wasn't given the
chance to offer some lame bullshit excuse.
