Palin, Fox at odds in contract negotiations?

LOL. All excellent point.

I completely understand your argument but I disagree about fox. Most of the Conservatives that I associate with have stopped watching fox news. I grew up on the Coast of Mississippi (Reneck Riviera) and it has always been a little Las Vegas. Before gambling was legal, we had a mansion on the beach with the most ornate and royal interior possible... gold fixtures in the bathrooms... entertainers like Sinatra and Mansfield etc... and from the Governor down they partied like it was 1999. Twenty miles north would get you killed for doing those things.

Most of us today work in the urban areas but live in the rural areas. We all had big C-Band satellite dishes starting back in the early 80’s. We are Hi-Tech rednecks. I was there the day fox started its first breath. They are so far from the truthful news outlet that they once were that we have all quit watching them. They are little better than cnn. cnn is rarely to the right of fox but it happens from time to time that cnn gets it right. That in itself is evidence that fox is owned and managed by progressive big government ideologues and they have slowly and patiently been moving fox to the left.

After listening to Beck lately... I no longer fault fox for not renewing his contract. I like Beck but he can (on occasion) shoot off from the mouth without consideration and it was driving segments of his audience from his show and fox.

I do not think that if Palin left fox... it would hurt her at all. She has a plan I can assure you. It changes as needed because world events change things. She has greatness in her and GOD will use her and I will be there to do what I can to help if I am needed. Until then... I fight against the cancer of marx in every way possible and within the law. When I say that I love this republic more than I do myself... on my sacred honor... I mean it. I know that you do too... even if we see certain things differently. We see many more things the same. None of us shares a common pair of eyes. ;-)

I would watch them at 8PM on weeknights... I no longer watch them at all. I agree 100%.

Ok, we disagree, BTW, back in the day when I was a rocker, my band was based in Pascagoula, MS and played all over that “redneck Riviera”. Except for the humidity, it was a wonderful place and I had a great time.

[LibLieSlayer]

Thunders Tavern? I played music also.

[LS]

Probably before your time. We played a lot at the Silver Fox in Mobile, a club in NO that I do not remember, a frat in Hattiesburg, then all over FL-—Sarasota, Cape Coral, Lakeland.

[LibLieSlayer]

Cool. I was playing from the late seventies up until about 1985. Have a great Saturday pal.

Well, ain’t you the self-righteous little priss...

[saminfl]

You just keep proving my point.

One of the most famous and influential women in the world????

I live in Korea and I can guarantee you that almost no Korean would know who she was.

Oprah, the Queen, Hillary, Madonna, Aung San Suu Kyi, Angela Merkel, sure. Palin? Not so much.

[potlatch]

[When she had a show of her own on another cable channel... it was a ratings bonanza.]

I’m confused, what show was that?

[wtc911]

And you mine, sally.

Sarah Palin’s Alaska, The Learning Channel (TLC). The first episode pulled in 5 million viewers and set a TLC record. It averaged three million viewers per episode and was a contract for ONLY 8 episodes. Palin said it was never to be a series but the leftards on wiki try to paint it as a failure. TLC has had no ratings that high since Palin’s show finished with its planned 8 episodes. The left is of satan and satan is the lord of the lie!

Cancelled my DirecTV last Wednesday. No more Fox News here. Sounds like it’s not going to matter soon anyway.

[potlatch]

I had forgotten about her reality series, my daughter tried to watch the first one and gave up. Glad her fans supported her.

Have you seen the kind of shows TLC puts out? Among its recent and current shows are
“Honey Boo Boo”, “Make Room for Multiples,” “The Little Couple,” “Strange Sex,” “Obese and Pregnant,” “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant,” “Mermaid Girl,” and “Paralyzed and Pregnant.” Then, there’s the supersized Duggar family, whose show was first called “17 Kids and Counting,” then “18 Kids and Counting,” and is now idling at “19 Kids and Counting.” (At some point it will probably be called “But Who’s Counting?”)

If my kids were still young they wouldn’t be watching that channel, I don’t think I’ve ever turned it on.

I don’t know how I could watch Fux any less than I already do: less than zero?

[editor-surveyor]

The RNC is the Pooch!

A totally worthless org.

Fux’s creds are gone, and they need her more every day.

They look like an imitation of PMSNBC.

[LibLieSlayer]

I am happy to report to you that I have never heard of or watched any of that tripe... not one single show. My tastes run in a somewhat different stream. I enjoyed Palin's show very much and TLC was drawing twice the audience that fox news does with any of their popular shows. When anything comes from the left... like the hits on Sarah Palin... you can bet your life that within whatever it is... at its core is a lie or lies and/or it is founded in a lie.
