Sarah Palin
It's no surprise that Sarah Palin is joining Fox News. I've heard it rumored for months on numerous political talk shows, so now it's a reality. Looking at the announcement about the move, I know she'll fit right in and feel right at home.
Here's an excerpt from the Fox News Website:
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has signed a multi-year deal with FOX News to serve as a contributor across all FOX News platforms, announced Bill Shine, Executive Vice President of Programming.
In making the announcement, Shine said, "Governor Palin has captivated everyone on both sides of the political spectrum and we are excited to add her dynamic voice to the FOX News lineup." As a contributor, Palin will provide political commentary and analysis for FOX News Channel (FNC), FOX Business Network (FBN), FOXNews.com, and FOX News-produced special event political programming for FOX Broadcasting.
In addition, she will host periodic episodes of FNC's "Real American Stories," a series exploring inspirational real-life tales of overcoming adversity throughout the American landscape that will debut in 2010.
Palin added, "I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at FOX News. It's wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news."
Shine's and Palin's statements speak volumes about things to come from Fox News.
The network already employs Mike Huckabee, former Bush White House aide Karl Rove, and former House speaker Newt Gingrich as highly visible commentators. Hiring Palin could further boost the popularity of Rupert Murdoch's network among conservative viewers.
