Fox News pays Sarah Palin as a contributor to their network. And apparently to be “fair and balanced,” they also pay Judith Miller and Liz Trotta to make fun of Sarah Palin:
UPDATE: Here’s what was said:
LIZ TROTTA: “Alessandra Stanley [of the New York Times] had the best line [in her Nov. 11 review]. She said the new [Palin TLC] show was like ‘The Sound of Music’ without the Nazis, without the romance and without the music.”
JUDITH MILLER (laughing): ”Oh, the Washington Post hated it, too . . . [Post TV critic Hank Steuver] said [Palin has] the kind of sound of a voice when warning you to heed the bears – it would actually scare the bears. . . . He said you just get the sense that all she’s waiting for when she’s looking at this great outdoors is to get back to her SUV for enough bars to send out her latest twitter about the beauty of the environment.”
OK, that’s what was said during the commercial break. Here’s what was said when the show came back on the air:
SCOTT: She has gotten a lot of heat for that new show. Some lefty groups, Ellis, are pushing Discovery Communications to pull the plug. How about at that for freedom of speech?
[ELLIS] HENICAN: Strategic misstep on the part of the lefty groups, as you mentioned. Let the woman talk. Believe me, the more she talks, the better off they are.
(LAUGHTER)
[JON] SCOTT: Interesting that some of these folks who don’t like her — I mean, she puts eyeballs in front of television sets, right?
MILLER: Yeah, and she got a network to pay her a million dollars per episode to do this. But I found the most interesting review to come from Karl Rove, who is not exactly a left wing lunatic, who said this is not going to advance her presidential prospects. This doesn’t make her look presidential. I’d listen to Karl.
TROTTA: And the numbers keep going down every time she makes appearance, her popularity numbers. You have to keep track of those. The more you see her, the less you like her. And overexposure is something the Democrats have to pray for.
SCOTT: So you think that –
TROTTA: Plus the fact that they can bank on the timidity of most men, who are so absolutely spooked by feminism that they’re afraid to criticize her.
HENICAN: Give her something on the Cartoon Network
Thanks very much, Texas Eagle!
All of your posts are “GRATE”!
LOL.
Zactly, and I am LOL @ your “I hate that Trotta GUY.”
Heretofore, I thought Ellis wanted to be one of the old cows, but I see your point about Trotta.
You’re more than welcome! I love to see their photos, too.
And, I love TLC’s SARAH PALIN’S ALASKA!
Great picture!
My awful typing tells me it’s time to eat...LOL.
ROFL! Excellent! Perfectly spaced, too!
I really want to see Sarah dump Fox new like an old habit.
Form what I can tell this started with Meg when she had M. Reagen on to set a narrative then it was Megan McCain to trash Sarah and now this.
I could tell election night none of the others on the set had any respect for Sarah.
Sarah doesn’t need Fox at all.
The only one who showed any respect to Sarah are the Judge, Asman, Cavuto Greta and Hannity. Bret Bier maybe OK I don’t know but the rest are PDS suffers.
I have been worried about Roger Ailes' health for some time now.
I pray for him to live a long, healthy life.
I was unhappy with the multi-year new contract given to Shepard Smith, and I was tired of Jaun Williams before NRO fired him and Fox hired him for even MORE appearances.
I don’t consider Liz Trotta a leftie. I always had respect for her before, but now? I’m not so sure of her.
Oh, gee, they’re like, just...just...SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool and sophistcated, aren’t they?
Vile people, libs are.
Thank you! :-)
Roger Ailes hired her and he is her boss.
She will have to resign if or when she announces her candidacy, but until that time, I like her on Fox News.
She needs a news outlet to present her views and Fox is not hostile to her...not on Roger Ailes’ watch.
The cheap shots are there for all of us to see. None say anything to her face, but cowards like BOR let their bias show through. He’s worried that she will run.
I think you can add Glenn Beck to your list.
He catches her back, and also praises her.
The original video is from someone named
Palin Palooza.
Who at FNC would’ve released it? It had
to have come from the inside. So despicable.

Wake me when something newsworthy occurs.
Good! I can’t STAND Miller and her cackling
voice and Trotter’s elitism. I’m THRILLED
these creeps have been revealed for what they
are.
FNC needs to fire their idiot butts .. and
do this against another Fox colleague ??
Completely and outrageously unprofessional.
Jon Scott made no derogatory comments because he's a gentleman journalist. I hope he washed his hands after the "discussion".
She’s not supposed to be a Leftie, but she sure has it in for Sarah Palin.
Few people will remember these petty and ugly statements about Sarah Palin after she’s our President.
No one will remember the names of these vicious little simpletons who attack her, nor will anyone seek them out to offer them a plate of fresh crow.
But - Sarah’s name, the things she does, and the words she speaks will long be remembered by the American people.
Thanks, I couldn't believe I actually got on!
