Former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska has signed on as a contributor to the Fox News Channel.
The network confirmed that Ms. Palin will appear on the network’s programming on a regular basis as part of a multi-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Ms. Palin will not have her own regular program, one person familiar with the deal said, though she will host an occasional 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.”
Many suspected that when Ms. Palin retired as the governor of Alaska last summer she was doing so to pursue some sort of career in television. The Fox News deal, however, would not seem to be all encompassing, and would appear to give her room for other pursuits, as well.

Can’t wait for the lib head explosions to commence.
That doesn’t sound like “declaring for the presidency” to me.
Just saw this...the media will go nuts..
Palin joins Fox PING!!!!!
Yes! Go Sarah!!
WOW.
Yes! Yet another coup for FNC. :)
Yet another deft move for the Guv.
Lots of time 2011
Huckabee has his own show. Newt is considered a fox news contributor, I believe. Nothing preventing these two from being potential presidential candidates.
Not to me. Good opportunity to appeal to her base but......
Good. Maybe she can do a series of debates with the teleprompter like I suggested to Glenn Beck.
Wow, this will guarentee a whole lotta whine from the press. Good move on Sarah’s part - she gets to interject her political comments nationwide at her choosing, and she gets paid to do it. Nice.
“That doesn’t sound like “declaring for the presidency” to me.”

You had this same concern about Huckabee? ;)
Palin is now a multi millionaire from book sales.
Now she has maybe a 1 million per year, multi year contract with Fox. I figured Ailes wouldn’t miss this opportunity. Not bad for a few months work ;-)
So is the purpose of this to keep her face out there and give her the chance to make intelligent commentary?
They will become apoplectic if Gov Palin starts contributions to the FOX Network.
Check with Mike Huckabee on that....
Who told you this would happen?
Months ago.....
It was Bert
Great news - expect a huge response from the left - squawking and bleating - it will be such fun to watch them pull their hair out.
