Going Rogue on Ailes Could Leave Palin on Thin Ice

Before Sarah Palin posted her infamous

her heated rhetoric

[Outlaw Woman]

Palin was fuming? ...a political debacle??

What a crock.

[Frantzie]

Why is Fox Al Waleed leaking this story? ALL TV is garbage and it is supports and covers up for hussein.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Every single sentence of the article contains more lies than the sentence before.

I'm sure Roger Ailes has nothing better to do than talk to a cheap tabloid.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

How do you come across an article like this anyway?

[mommyq]

He pays Juan Williams millions, too, and I'd rather listen to Palin than him any day. Oh, that's right, I don't. I turn the channel when he's on. So Ailes doesn't always make the smartest decisions, either.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

New York Mag trash story. Even if Ailes wanted her to lay low and keep taking the hits, she did EXACTLY the right thing. At that point, only Rush and Mark Levin were the only ones defending her. It was not a 'debacle' as the libs want everyone to believe, but a powerful statement setting the record straight.

[Fishtalk]

I so don’t believe any of this story.

First, I don’t believe Sarah Palin called up Ailes. Just don’t believe it.

Thus I sure don’t think he told her to keep quiet. Even if she HAD called him, I don’t think he would have advised that.

Whatever...this story is a complete lie.

I can just smell it.

[fantom]

NY Magazine ? I though the story was from politico. Same ol crap from the lightweights who have no idea what just happened and whats about to come . The libturd world is in flux . Now if they can only find a way to remove the stench from the WI capitol building that the semi human putrescence left behind .

There's not really much that's conservative about FNC any more. The channel is full of neocons (the crew from the Weekly Standard, Krathammer, etc.) and establishment Republicans (Rove, Perino, etc.). O’Reilly tries to ambush Palin every opportunity he gets.

Hannity is the only host close to being a conservative but keeps repeating himself to the point where he is unwatchable. Greta's show is probably the best.

I stopped watching FNC about a month ago.

[altura]

Odd story to come out now. How reliable is this source, I wonder?

It may be that right now Fox needs Sarah more than she needs them.

[Outlaw Woman]

spot on

[vbmoneyspender]

Liberals love it when conservatives get punched in the face and don’t hit back. That’s what the whole civility tactic was about.

[ProudFossil]

Typical MSM bull crap. I firmly believe that Sarah does not give a tinker's damn what the MSM, including Ailes, cares about. She says what she thinks and thinks what she says. That is the main problem the libs had with President Bush. They could never understand somebody saying what that person actually thought, not what the MSM or the libs or the purported polls think they should think.

So this is nothing more than more MSM whining about what they have no control over, i.e., Palin is Palin's person, not anybody else's. Go Sarah.

[Gator113]

What a B/S article.

Did pissant write it?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Coinkidink???

[Al B.]

Thanks for the ping. What a crock this is. Did Ailes let her go because of this BS? No.

Newt and Santorum got canned. Sounds like the stench of this story may emanate from around them.

[Outlaw Woman]

They just make crap up as they go. Palin did the right thing and as far as the ‘blood libel’ thing, I heard more than one Jew say she used the term correctly.

Gabriel Sherman Lands Deal for Fox News Book

New York Magazine contributing editor Gabriel Sherman has inked a book deal with Random House for The Loudest Voice in the Room, “an inside account of the rise of Fox News.” Yahoo’s Cutline has more details.

******

In the spring of 2006, a year and a half after he was hired to run CNN/U.S., Jonathan Klein went to his boss Jim Walton with an idea. CNN was in trouble. While the network remained a profit engine and an iconic brand, prime-time ratings were stalled. Fox News had surged ahead in the cable-news race, and now, alarmingly, Keith Olbermann was coming on strong. His anti-Bush broadsides were transforming his 8 p.m. MSNBC show, Countdown, into a bombastic counterweight to Fox’s Bill O’Reilly, and combined, both personalities were drowning out CNN’s Paula Zahn, the respected television veteran who was anchoring a standard newscast during the 8 p.m. slot.

And so Klein set out to poach Olbermann. At the time, Olbermann had a window to negotiate in his MSNBC contract and Klein made a hard sell. He told Olbermann he could bring Countdown to CNN—the two even discussed which members of Olbermann’s staff would make the move with him. “Jon and I were in very deep discussions on a regular basis for me to go over there,” says Olbermann. “One of the premises was we would have put MSNBC out of business.”
