Tea Party Darling Palin In Talks For Spot On ‘The View’—‘Exactly What ABC Needs,’ Claims Source
Radar Online ^ | August 7, 2014

Tea Party darling Sarah Palin‘s recently launched video channel is not just a place where she can express her controversial conservative views: RadarOnline.com has learned that it’s an audition tape of sorts because the former Alaska governor is openly competing for a spot on The View!

“Sarah has been in talks with The View to become a part of the cast as the voice of the far right,” an insider revealed. “During talks, it was brought to Sarah’s attention that mainstream Americans haven’t heard from her in a while, despite her appearances on Fox News. Being very media savvy, Governor Palin decided to launch a video channel as a way to engage with more Americans, and prove to network executives that she can create buzz.”

“The one sticking point in the talks is how much time she will have to spend in New York City and away from her native Alaska,” the source continued. “She has proposed that she work three weeks a month in NYC, and then go back to Alaska. During sweeps, she would of course not take time off.”

Palin’s paid subscription video channel costs $9.95 a month or $99.95 for a year. As expected, media pundits have heavily criticized the venture, which seems to be exactly what Palin hoped for.

“The lame stream media continuing to hammer away at Sarah only helps her to get job!” the source said. “Whenever Sarah opens her mouth, it creates controversy, and that is exactly what ABC needs to get The View back on track.”

“Whoopi Goldberg has given her seal of approval for the hire, but Rosie O’Donnell isn’t sold on it,” the source continued. “She is concerned that Palin is just too controversial, and the show will become all about her.”

The daytime talk show lost three of their co-hosts this year when Barbara Walters retired, Sherri Shepherd left after seven years to move on with other endeavors, and Jenny McCarthy split after just one season.

Do you think Palin would be a good addition to the show? Let us know in the comments!

I'd take anything this gossip site says with a huge grain of salt.

I doubt this is true, but it would be a big mistake.

For now, yes. Sometime later, maybe not.

Going on the show, being outnumbered 4 to 1 by shrieking idiots wouldn't convey her class and message optimally. But, if Sarah went on with another somewhat conservative, so it was more like 3 to 2, it might get very interesting.

Sarah would be wise to be cautious, very cautious with that den of snakes.

Big mistake to go on there. It’s not like those women can debate, instead they shout down those who have opposing views.

“...her controversial conservative views...”

I stopped reading after that controversial line.

I understand she may not want to run for office again with that brood of kids. Particularly one with the special needs of Trig. But surely she can do better than THIS!

Is this story any different than the same general story that popped up over a month ago?

I tend to agree with you. ABC would never do it and Goldberg would never stand for it.

I can’t imagine Sarah would have the desire to voluntarily sit with those shrews day after day. Anyway, hope it doesn’t happen.

This is what is needed. We have to stand up to this liberal crap. Put her on with 4 other libs and let her wipe the floor with them. If anyone could stand up to shouting it’s her.

There are no converts without evangelism.

When did supporting and defending the Constitution become controversial?

This is gossip. Just a rumour. There was a thread or two last month when this was first “news”.

Probably some liberal turd reporting this just to do harm to Mrs. Palin.

The definition of “Leftism” is the Bi-Polar opposite of the Constitution.

By definition, leftism is treason and leftists should be rounded-up and deported to a godless/satanist utopia, North Korea or Iran.

Since I’m a nice guy, they get to choose.

Unnamed source. It never happened. Just a continuation of the occupation media narrative to destroy Sarah Palin.

That'd be cool

As the saying goes, “Only Nixon could go to China.”

Sarah has the moxie to tie any of the libs on that show into verbal knots. The conservative message needs to get out to the LIV, and that show is actually a pretty good place to start.
