I was unaware that this was going on when I killed my feed, so I didn’t get all of it. So if someone else has it, please let me know and I’ll post it:

Fox News? Oh the network owned at least 7% by the Saudis?

Better than the other scum networks but Fox is still pro-islamification and pro-sharia.

The video crew were a bunch of liberal morons who had to inject their inane comments to the end of the video. The FOX station is getting hit with calls all over the country.....

“the dumbness is not just in the soundbites,”

“your gonna have a hard time making a story out of that”

“I will tell my conservative friends she is dumb” “Just a series of quotes hung together”

and some other stuff..

As I understand it, Fox40 is the local affiliate in that part of California.

Evidently, those were techs (interns?) and one of the reporters kibitzing after the speech, not realizing their mics were hot.

Lib college kids acting like idiots.

This was planned - I guarantee it.

The story won’t be about Palin, it’ll be about the biased comments made by the A/V geeks.

I knew from the beginning how the feed was just terrible that they were doing it on purpose. If they don’t like her that’s fine, but they have NO RIGHT to start spewing their hateful crap all over the airwaves for everyone to hear. I blame the media of today for this nonsense. They have taught the young people who want to be journalists that its Ok to be biased, because look at the media now, its all a bunch of Obama kiss assers. So of course these kids who are not bright to begin with, see this and think its Ok to do this. The feed was terrible because they did not want people to hear Sarah’s speech, that was beyond obvious

Here's Fox 40's statement about the incident.
SACRAMENTO - Thousands of people from California and around the world tuned in to FOX40.com to listen to a speech prepared by Sarah Palin Friday evening from the campus of California State University, Stanislaus. During that stream, several unfortunate events occurred that we hope to clear up through this statement.

First, FOX40 News was the only station streaming a live signal from CSU Stanislaus during Sarah Palin's presentation. Friday, we were told by officials organizing the speech that we were not permitted to beam a live signal direct from the dining hall where Sarah Palin was presenting; instead, we were offered the opportunity to aim a FOX40 camera at a projection screen inside a room for assembled media down the hall from where Sarah Palin was due to speak. We were cautioned by the organizers of the event that there was an ongoing audio situation. We were faced with two decisions -- to not carry a speech of local and national importance due to the low-quality methods we'd be forced to transmit, or to provide a signal by any means necessary. It was with the public interest in mind that we opted for the latter.

Second, following Sarah Palin's address from CSU Stanislaus, several reporters could be heard making comments about the speech that some viewers considered inappropriate and unprofessional. Day by day, television, newspaper and radio reporters are asked to cover stories involving mayhem and misery, and occasionally off-color comments slip out on-air and online. Honestly, it's happened on FOX40 News and on FOX40.com in the past during live presentations of news and events.

However, the comments overheard were made by reporters assembled from other newspaper and television outlets, and at no time was the voice of our photographer heard on the stream. It's very likely that those reporters and photographers were unaware, or simply forgot, that there was one television station with an open microphone broadcasting to the world. If you did not hear their comments, you can watch a portion of them here, captured by a viewer who was watching the FOX40.com live stream.

Additionally, it should be noted that FOX40 reporter Andria Borba was not in the room where our signal was broadcast, and the voices heard delivering color commentary at the end of Sarah Palin's speech were male.

Unfortunately, there's no way to immediately identify the photographers and reporters making commentary following Sarah Palin's speech, and it would be inappropriate for FOX40 News and FOX40.com to apologize on their behalf.

As always, our phone lines and e-mail inboxes are always open to comments and criticism. Our news director Brandon Mercer can be reached at Brandon.Mercer@FOX40.com, our acting general manager Mike Armstrong can be reached at Mike.Armstrong@FOX40.com and I can be reached at Matthew.Keys@FOX40.com.

typical lib media, trying to put the blame on someone else. What, they couldnt have brought in their own crew to tape this, please, this was a set up from the beginning. The feed was atrocious because they wanted to smear her, never seen that bad an audio feed in my entire life. It was like a 5 year old was holding onto the camera..it was done on purpose

Fox40 told you why they did not use their own crew... the University did not allow them to do so.

We must demand that the FCC pull the station’s broadcast license.

They didn’t say Fox News. Some local Fox affiliate. Huge difference.
