Sarah Palin Opens Up About Her 'Toughest Year' - Including Cancer Scare; 'Canned' by Fox News
People ^ | 12/02/2015 | BY TIERNEY MCAFEE

Between her daughter Bristol's second broken engagement and losing her job at Fox News, 2015 has been a tough year for Sarah Palin – in fact, the former Alaska governor is now calling it the "toughest year"of her life.

Palin, who was let go from her job as a Fox News political analyst for a second time in June, revealed in a new interview with CBN News' Wendy Griffith on Tuesday that she took the unexpected firing hard.

"Some things happened that I haven't talked about publicly, things like getting canned from a job I really liked, sort of out of the blue, because I called somebody out,"she said, without naming any names. "Next morning I got word, 'Oh, we no longer need you anymore.' "

But it sounds like there are no hard feelings on Palin's end.

"Yeah, it was a shock, but more power to Fox News," she said. "They're a private enterprise. They can fire someone for wearing the wrong color tie that day - that's their prerogative and I've been on both sides of the hiring and firing."

Asked if Fox News still interviews her, Palin replied, "Heck, yeah. I have a great relationship with them. It was just kind of a little bit of a shocker of knowing that the 'haters' are going to love this one."

That wasn't the only setback Palin suffered this year. After her 25-year-old daughter, Bristol, called off her long-awaited wedding less than a week before the big day and announced shortly after that she was pregnant with her second child, Palin was hit with another blow – a cancer scare.

"Bristol said, 'Mom, you need to go into the doctor and get that thing checked,'" Palin recalled.

Fox needs to remember how they got to the top. They have moved away from Fair and Balanced. Far far away.

I am very sorry to hear this. I like her a lot and I hope her well in the future. Maybe Trump will have a spot for her in his administration.

If Fox canned Palin then it explains who Fox News is. Another soon to be liberal rag. I quit watching most of Fox. Megyn Kelly is a perfect example of a raving liberal witch.

Yeah. Palin would make a good last Energy Secretary: in charge of sending all the oil leases and nuclear licenses back to the states because the Department of Energy is being shut down. Oh, I can dream...

No mention in these articles of her new book. Odd.
