There was a sense of celebration in the air when Fox News struck a $3 million deal with Sarah Palin, beating out a slew of networks, syndicators, and even Hollywood studios for the services of the hottest phenomenon on the political landscape. But 16 months after network chief Roger Ailes closed the deal in a meeting with Palin and her husband, Todd, the excitement has cooled. Palins regular appearances as a commentator no longer move the ratings needle without a promotional push. Palin was supposed to host prime-time specials dubbed Real American Stories, but Fox insiders tell me the idea was shelved early on. The first one bombed, losing a chunk of its audience as the show progressed.
Palin is a remote presence, beaming in from the studio Ailes had built at her Alaska home when she wants to weigh in, which she sometimes signals with emails at odd hours. During a rare appearance in New York City on election night, Fox staffers scurried to fix a towering beehive hairdo created by an errant makeup artist. But many of Foxs top-line journalists have never met Palin, and at times the hallway chatter, at least among some of the men, is less about her political future than her appearance.
Her fortunes are such that Fox contributor Tucker Carlson recently tweeted: Palins popularity falling in Iowa, but maintains lead to become supreme commander of Milfistana reference to Palin as a sexually desirable mom, or MILF. Todd Palin, according to sources, fired off an email asking what Fox planned to do about that (Carlson later apologized).
While Fox says it still values Palin, her relationship with the network treasured by red-state America has changed....

I guess Howard was bored and had to fill a daily quota...so he publish this^^
No, but it doesn’t matter. Sarah, through her faith and God-given talents, is going to have a wonderful life full of love, surrounded by her family and true friends. Those on the Left who hate her will NEVER experience that kind of joy.
They have been predicted ‘she’s over’ for 2.5 years. LOL!
So much for newsweak. Yes it’s weak but it’s not news - it’s called prophesying.

It’s a strange world we live in. 2 years ago, I would never have thought Fox News would be the enemedia. But they are. I don’t watch them. If I must watch network news, I’ll go to CNN, ABC or CBS.
Tonight for instance - Whore-aldo was making the usual ASS of himself.
Newsweek is effectively now in the gutter. Tina Brown, the new owner, was in her heyday during the Diana Era (eighties and nineties) and the magazine is now just a glorified upmarket version of PEOPLE magazine. She started her new tenure with Clooney and that asinine headline, next, Kate Middleton as “Catherine the Great” (look it up) and now she’s featuring the Olson Twins.
how they try.....
I don’t know about others but about the only time I watch foxnews anymore is if Gov Palin is on. the shows have become liberalism left. BOR is the wrose with his Obama love.
Well I geuss if Tucker Carlson ever files for bankruptcy we’ll all know the reason why.
