Apparently you just completely made this up. Palin could simply say at any time, privately or publicly, that she plans to run for President and Fox News would let her out of her contract immediately. All it took for Gingrich and Santorum was to begin the process of considering setting up exploratory committees and Fox terminated their contracts.
Fox is most certainly NOT holding Palin back from entering the presidential race. Seriously, people need to stop making excuses for her tease campaign. Governor Palin is keeping her options open I suppose, but she has made exactly zero preparations to run for President in 2012.

Absurd comment, but to be expected from one with so little political understanding.
Her move to Phoenix was in preparation for her term as president.
Were either Gingrich or Santorum a threat to the status quo as Palin surely is? Was fox visibly hostile to either Gingrich or Santorum as they are to Palin? Both appear on Fox as often, or even MORE often, than they did before. Does either one of them generate the numbers that an appearance by Palin does?
Palin makes Fox a LOT of money.
I think it is you who is giving Palin short shrift.
Love the phrase “tease campaign”.
As mid-to-end September nears, there will be more excuses as to why she hasnt announced. Now they start blaming FOX as if the contract with FOX is prohibiting her from running for President. Oct 31 is the last possible day, I believe. At the start of Oct, a number of Palin supporters will start looking towards that date and telling others how Reagan didnt announce until Nov, how she doesnt need to announce early, etc etc.
These fans need to understand she is in it for the money, nothing else. She is going to milk all sources until they run dry.
