Sarah Palin to Contribute to Fox News
Former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska has signed on as a contributor to the Fox News Channel.

The network confirmed that Ms. Palin would appear on the network’s programming on a regular basis as part of a multiyear deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Ms. Palin will not have her own regular program, one person with knowledge of the deal said, though she will host a series that will run on the network from time to time. This person would not elaborate, but the network does have a precedent for such a series. Oliver L. North is the host of an occasionally running documentary series on the military called “War Stories.”

<snip>
The deal was formally announced on Monday afternoon. Robert Barnett, Ms. Palin’s lawyer, did not respond to a call for comment. “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,” Ms. Palin said in a statement.

1. She's going to offer "analysis."
That's hilarious.

7. Will Faux have a segment on shooting wolves from helicopters?



Or perhaps on dealing in meth?

Those are the only topics I can think of that she might
know enough about to speak more than two minutes on.

2. Let the Gaffs begin
The bottom line in the whole Sarah story, and the only thing that really matters, is that she never got her god's will hands on the nuclear codes, and she never will. The rest of her story is info-tainment from now on.

3. Yeah, like a fly contributes to a pile of dog shit.
Doesn't FOX have enough maggots as it is?

4. Wrong word used. Shouldn't be contribute because she has nothing to contribute.
Should be shill.

9. This is nothing more than a payoff...
Edited on Tue Jan-12-10 01:10 PM by The_Commonist
...for the huge amount of revenue she has generated for Fox and News Corp in the last year and a half.
Basically, Rupert is saying "keep up the good work. Here's a bonus."
She won't be "contributing" anything that isn't highly scripted, and written by other people.
