Doesn’t she work for them ( or at least is paid by them)?
Thanks for posting this article - but you know it's gonna' make the PSD Freepers apoplectic....
Palin is right. I’m getting tired of the “media” playing around with all of the GOP candidates while not laying a glove on Obama. The “media” is using their smearing of the GOP candidates to fill their air time without having to address the Obama and ‘RAT scandals that are breaking out all over the place.
Right. Because she hasn’t engaged in smearing those Republican candidates herself instead of staying focused on Obama.
Add to it that the banner at the bottom of the screen on her two last appearanced did not title her a a Fox News Contributor even as they still labeled all the other regulars as such.
Does it mean anything? Only she and Fox News know for sure and I am comfortable with waiting until either one makes the decision to let the rest of the prognosticators know.
I am getting cynical about all of them...there’s just so much showmanship. I am not sure what Palin’s role on Fox is except to be interviewed, could be wrong on that.
Her comment about the presidency just being a ‘title “ was strange, but then I am one of those that will end up getting banned from Fr cause I don’t support Palin’s run/maybe run.ha.
I think the 47% pole number was “ generic candidate” opposed to Obama.
Michele caused her own problems.
First, Perry’s entry hurt her polls.
Then she way overstated her case against him on Gardasil. Just took herself right over a cliff and appeared desperate and demagogic.
Fox News is pro Romney, I believe.
But what’s the point? Do you work for them for many months and gladly take their pay, then suddenly go “well, a pox on you Fox News for your reportage and your opinion pieces, so long, as I now run for President and can’t have you paying me anymore”?
If this speculation is even true...not about what she said but about her plans.
The title doesn’t match up with the content of the article. There’s discussion about what is said/done on Fox, i.e., O’Reilly, Greta, etc., but only SP references are to a) media, generally, and b) Juan Williams who is not Fox News, but merely a contributor like she is. There’s not a SP quote attacking Fox News that I can read here to support the headline.
She then went on to suggest that it took the straw poll in Florida to make [Cain] “flavor of the week” for the media, when in reality it was his qualities as an American which made him appealing to voters.
As usual, the media chose to pick up on one line of Palin’s commentary — i.e., the suggestion that Herman Cain was “flavor of the week.” As a result, various newspaper articles and major media outlets began reporting her context inaccurately.
And it wasn't just the left-wing media that went after Sarah, who was CRITICIZING THE MEDIA FOR THE WAY THEY TREATED CAIN. It was also all the Palin-haters in the forum here. Ironically, while attacking Sarah and misrepresenting what she said, they bashed Sarah FOR ATTACKING CAIN and being a bad conservative.
I've never seen so many people attacking Sarah in particular, under the pretence that Sarah was bad for attacking THEIR candidates.
Let's at least get the facts straight. And you certainly won't do that by quoting the MSM, without doing a little checking first.
Fox is supposed to proclaim itself in the bag for Sarah? C’mon. You don’t really believe that, do you? Oh, that’s right — you do.
Many other comments over on this posting if anyone is interested in reading them.

Why is Sarah Palin accusing Megyn Kelly and Fox News of “misinformation” about her?
BTW, Try : "Employer Fox News"
I think FOX has given Sarah Palin all the latitude in the world. She has been given exclusive freedom to speak out on FOX.
Without FOX, she would not have been heard much of anywhere.
FOX is at the point now, that they have to look out for legal problems. They made Newt, Santorum and Huck declare if they planned on running. Sarah has not been made to do that.
But... if she is playing with actually running, they have to protect themselves. They are not owned by Sarah.
If she does plan on running, she has had months of free campaigning, paid campaigning.
And just now she gripes.
Among her examples, Sarah Palin cited the popularity Michele Bachmann experienced with the media immediately after winning the Ames Straw Poll in Iowa. Bachmann is now down significantly in all the polls... After enjoying a few weeks at the top, Rick Perry's frontrunner status is now threatened by the media, who is now paying more attention to Herman Cain... She spoke about how his words and his experience as a working American resonated with the grassroots. She then went on to suggest that it took the straw poll in Florida to make him "flavor of the week" for the media, when in reality it was his qualities as an American which made him appealing to voters. As usual, the media chose to pick up on one line of Palin's commentary...Next up on all networks -- Sarah Palin again blames the media for her own lack of clarity.
I took that comment to include ALL the media, not just Fox News.

Biting the hand that feeds her. (Female dogs do this when they are in a bad mood.)
My guess is that FNC upper management was assured that there would be no legal conflict many ~6 months ago and there will not be one.
Instead FNC has to worry about ethical and perceptional problems here. Who the hell would want to watch Megyn Kelly analyze election exit polls on election night like she did in 2008 (and did a great job too) if she was now spinning a bunch of crazy stuff about Palin wearing a running suit, and using the word ‘we’ when addressing the candidates?? Not me!
