… A multiyear contract deal with Fox News. Bet John McCain is jealous.
“I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News,” Palin said in a statement posted on the network’s Web site. “It’s wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news.”
Fox said that according to the multiyear deal, Palin will offer political commentary and analysis. She also will host occasional episodes of Fox News “Real American Stories,” a series featuring true inspirational stories about Americans.
“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,” Bill Shine, executive vice president of programming, said in a statement.
Palin captivating “both sides of the political spectrum” gives a new and very special meaning to “fair and balanced news”. But then Fox News being fair and balanced is right up there with “Saddam was behind the 9/11 attack” and “the dog ate my homework”.
Perhaps this career move will help Sarah in her 2012 run for the Presidency. Let’s hope so. Never watched a Fox Newscast (except for youtube clips), so it really doesn’t matter…
