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
The title is the title. You know the rules here: we post the sourced "title."
It’s infuriating. When the Elites put down Sarah Palin, they are putting down all of us. The Elites are especially behaving badly right now because they are feeling the heat from us “commoners”. HOW DARE WE QUESTION THEM? The best response to their “elitism” is to defeat them. Electing Palin president would be sweet justice.
she and the other one are ugly cows that wish they had the love Sarah has but nobody wants either woman. This comment coming from a woman makes me sick to my stomach. I called two lines and told them she needs to go for being so completely disrespectful to Sarah and her child.
Trotta and Miller are snide, petty, and jealous of Sarah’s ability to connect with America.
Murdoch’s Marauders or is it Mutineers?
I must have missed that.
Sarah's hot, they're not.
Sarah's incredibly popular worldwide, they're not.
Sarah's married to Todd, they're not.
Sarah's rumored to be getting $1M/episode from TLC, these hags do not get $1M/episode of FoxNews Watch.
Sarah lives rent-free in their heads.
Sarah's hot, they're not.
I called both lines and sent an email! Both women are ugly OLD cows.
Great summary!
Yeah, you betcha./s
5 million viewers for its premiere episode, breaking TLC's viewing record, says different from you and your "crappy remark."
ELLIS HENICAN is the last person on earth that should be making fun of someones voice. The guy sounds like he belongs on Sponge Bob Square Pants. Go listen to him on radio and try not to laugh out loud.

Yes,...LOL... I loved that, too.
But for his appearances on Fox New, I wouldn’t have EVER heard of Pelican. He’s nothing.
When I read what they said, it didn’t shock me at all, they can say whatever they want. These are in fact Dems, all of them, they don’t like her, that’s fine. They want to make childish remarks that my 8 year old cousin is too mature to make, that’s fine. Sarah can handle the BS, but to say what Trotta said about an innocent baby, that’s where I draw the line. I don’t get why that woman has such a hatred for Palin, I just don’t get it. They don’t even know each other but she absolutely loathes her, from day 1, I remember the crap she said about her from the beginning and I just don’t get it. She doesn’t like Sarah for her political views, that’s fine, but to call an innocent baby “retarded” that makes my blood boil. Trotta is lucky she did not say that in my presence
Fox News hires leftists you now. Liz, Judy and Ellis lean to the left. On that show they bring on Andrea Tantaros or Dana Perino sometimes. But it looks like they leaned a bit to the left last show. hannity, Beck nor Monica Crowley were around to defend her sadly and that is why I avoid Fox News Watch unless Andrea is on. Cal Thomas must not have been on either.
She is their ultimate danger. You’re absolutely right.
