I can totally understand why Sarah wouldnt want to be on Fox anymore..first of all, she was hardly on..maybe what, once a month and even when she was on it was only for about 5-10 minutes at the most..why would she want to be shackled to another long term contract with Fox(I doubt it had anything to do with the money I think it had more to do with the direction Ailes is going with the network)..if she had her own show on the channel MAYBE it would have been worth staying but only to be on once a month and still be shackled to do whatever Fox News says I wouldnt have stayed either. Ailes wanted to mold Sarah into someone she was not, a RINO clone of Romney and she wanted no part of it..she made the right choice
You're partially right, SB. When Ailes hired her in 2009, there was every indication that she was going to run for President and might actually win. He thought that he could play queen-maker and shape her into his very own Eliza Doolittle. however, like the Corrupt Bastards Club in Alaska before him, he found out that Palin could not be controlled, and so he found himself "stuck" with her for the duration of her three-year contract. It's been obvious for some time that he's been actively trying to get rid of her, without actually firing her himself, by trying to goad her into breaking her contract on her own.
I wasn’t surprised by Gov. Palin leaving FOX. It was reported about six months ago they were having trouble negotiating a contract.
