Levin says it would be better if some of these ‘conservatives’ on Fox News who reject Sarah Palin would just come out and say it instead of telling us over and over she can’t win. He specifically calls out Brit Hume, Charles Krauthammer, and Bill O’Reilly and says it’s remarkable that they know who can win and who can’t. He goes on:

Yeah, Levin has a point. It's become pretty clear that most of the Fox News personalities don't want her to run.
I agree with you. I still depend on and like Fox News. It is head and shoulders above the other cable stations and the national network news.
Yes, they have a lot of irritating liberals on. Yes, some of their hosts are unbearable.
But I see a lot of Palin on Fox every day. Those panels at night and O’Reilly are to be avoided at all costs. I won’t watch panels anywhere, Sunday shows, etc.
But we are still lucky to have Fox News !!!
I can think of two things Gov. Palin would like to get out of Trump before committing:
1. Will you help raise the billion dollars I would like to have to be able to match up with Soros/Obama campaign spending?
2. Now that you’ve dropped out of the running as a republican, if I win the nomination, will you agree not to try to third-party me?
I like Greta much better than I once did. As far as kissing up, I didn’t see her with Kissinger, but I’m not much of a fan for hateful confrontations with guests one has invited on.
As long as she asked some decent questions and listened to his replies, I do not regard that as kissing up.
Yes, please save it and post it! For God’s Sake will be happy!
I wasn’t being critical of Fox. Or Levin - he’s the best.
Just don’t know where he’s coming from on this one.
Exactly what has happened to me over the last year.
BOR and Kraut I would have expected, but Hume disappoints.
LOL. Good idea!
Michelle Bachman seems like a nice conservative woman with her head in the right place, BUT if she becomes the nominee they will annihilate her. She is not well tested like Palin and she showed it when she gave the Republican response, I believe it was after State of the Union address. Just remember she seemed nervous and not at all solid or determined in her message. The other thing that bothered me was the overuse of eye-makeup. Not sure why she did that, as generally she looks pretty natural and normal.
I emailed Bret last week regarding another evening of Palin bashing..for anybody interested here is his response to me and what I wrote him.....
I can’t control what the panel says about any candidate.
We did a 6 minute profile piece on Governor Palin.. we had her on a few weeks ago for a 12 minute interview segment. We’ve done many stories in the Grapevine about Palin derangement syndrome in the media.
Also, Governor Palin is STILL EMPLOYED by this network.. and all indications we’re getting is that she will not run. If you have something specific.. or definitive.. please let me know.
Thanks for the pointed email.. and thanks for watching while you have. Sorry to lose you as a viewer.. I wish you the best with your viewing.
And I have Googled my own name.. thanks.

False advertising comes to mind? Fair and balanced did not! You know darn well that Hayes and Krauthammer both despise Palin and I can only assume that you have little respect for her as well.
You said coming up on the panel we will discuss Sarah Palin, is she running something along those lines.
You know Charles and Steve have no respect for her! Charles answer included rolling his eyes at her name. You asked Steve twice about Gov Palin, and the name Sarah Palin never came out of his mouth.
You should have said at the beginning for full disclosure that Steve and Charles are not Palin supporters or something along those lines.
Really you can lash out at me like you did once before, that`s fine, but the truth is...God as my witness, that Tea Party/Social Conservatives are turning away in droves because of your anti Palin/ anti Tea Party panel. The Tea Party is only spoken of on your show in the third person, almost like 2010 never happened???
I have finally had enough, I know I said that before, but really this show tonight has pushed me over the edge. Sarah Palin gets more respect on CNN than she does on Special report or Fox News Sunday.
Fox and Friends, Hannity, Gretta,all treat her with more respect...she is going to be the nominee IMHO, are you going to allow Charles and Steve to run her down night after night, that will be your challenge.
I have had it...I think, Yes I know you could care less, but open your eyes do some research...Free Republic dot com for instance, see how your show is thought of at the most Conservative/largest forum on the planet.
I challenge you to even Google your own name, perhaps try Bret Baer on Sarah Palin, or Bret Baer Fox all stars continue bashing Sarah Palin/tea party etc.
Be a man, see what reasonable people are saying
Do you really think it`s fair and balanced to ask about Sarah Palin to 2 guys on record as saying she is a joke....
my grammar is not what it used to be.
I absolutely agree, EZ and with the rest of you Freepers who say that Fox is unwatchable now. What’s going on?
Fox and Friends are congenial but who wants to see a segment about a boy who tatooed the American flag on his forehead and gets ejected from the classroom(or some such) first thing in the am when I want news? and who could stomach Matt LLLLauer, Meredith, Diane or Robin?
BOR is an absolute narcissist. I cannot look at his ugly puss any longer, He joins the “I can’t look at his ugly puss’ hall of fame with Hussein.
Hannity is like a broken record, as you say..and seems to be more concerned with keeping his job than anything. His Great, Great, Great is like an SNL skit.
Greta is good.
Is Beck still on? He has lost his appeal.
The pundits are the worst and Brit used to be the exception but now he has joined the beltway ignoramuses.
Bret Baier and Steve Hayes are okay. They are former college roommates.
Levin is really my only go to guy now. He is a solid Conservative, funny as hell and brilliant.
Even Rush is annoying me sometimes. He’s not as sharp since he got married again. :-)
Worthless BOR!
He’s trying to backtrack a little with regard to Sarah Palin, but she’s had his number from the day she met him, and he knew that, too. He admitted as much tonight to Dick Morris.
On Palin we agree, but Cain? You call MB a legislative lightweight and then compare her to Herman Cain. The very same Herman Cain who hasn't ever even managed to get himself elected to anything so we can determine what kind of a legislative track record he can build for himself.
Sorry, but Herman Cain is not even in the same league as Michele Bachmann. Bachmann has proven she can win elections and has a solid conservative voting record, Herman Cain is all talk. Cain needs to win a House seat or something a couple of times and come back and talk to us then.

I'm sure you mispoke in part. You don't depend on any press organ. You give them more or less credibility, or time.
Done. Thank you!
Me too. I switched after the idiot said that maybe she could be the “cheerleader”. Are you kidding me?
In the end, they are all part of the Washington elite establishment echo chamber.
They believe whatever they hear and repeat to each other on the cocktail circuit.
