First of all, is Ailes serious? Turning her announcement into some kind of hyped Fox special? That would have been sooo CHEESEY. I’m glad Palin had none of that!
Secondly, Fox has treated Palin like crap this past year... constantly belittling her and dismissing her on the network. They didn’t even air any of her speeches, including that important Iowa one (which CNN covered live!). And they’d only report on the most negative of polls regarding her. The all-time low point was when that vile Liz Trotta, who once loathesomely referred to Baby Trig as an “it,” during her weekly commentary, also went on air on her Fox Sunday gig, touting the McGinnis book and his outlandish smears as if they were unvarnished truths... snidely bearing her fangs and basically calling the Palins racist, promiscuous, adulterous, cocaine-snorthing dope-fiends! This was right on the air on FoxNews in September, before Palin made her announcement.
What the hell other network treats one of their ‘own’ people this way? Unbelievable! FoxNews has really taken a repulsive turn for the worst lately. I’ve all but stopped watching them the past two months. Which is really something, since I used to practically leave the channel on like a ‘default’ position for my tv-set!
That makes two of us. I have taken to calling FOX liberals with suits. Hanity is the only one I listen to now. Pretty much have the TV set to OFF these days.
