Palin saying that she would have voted for Newt in SC was pretty close. Do you really think she would be asked by a host if she was endorsing if she were prohibited by contract for doing so? I don’t.
Close enough but it didn’t step over the line. Have you heard people ask Hannity who he endorses? Yes, they have. He can’t say either. Nor can rove, Greta, or anyone else...because then they are advocating for a candidate and by extension, FOX would be advocating for that candidate if they allowed such a thing.
ASKING is a lot different than answering.
BTW, contracts are private. Others would have no way of knowing what is in Sarah’s contract unless she made it public, and even THAT might be a no no as far as Fox is concerned.
