In Sarah Palin’s first interview since parting ways with Fox News, the former Alaska governor said she doesn’t want to “just preach to the choir" and that she is looking to take her message to a "larger audience."
Palin told Breitbart News there needs to be “more truth-telling in the media” and called for fellow conservatives to follow her lead and expand their audience.
“I encourage others to step out in faith, jump out of the comfort zone, and broaden our reach as believers in American exceptionalism,” she told the conservative news site in a short Q&A. “That means broadening our audience. I’m taking my own advice here as I free up opportunities to share more broadly the message of the beauty of freedom and the imperative of defending our republic and restoring this most exceptional nation.”
“We can't just preach to the choir,” she said. “The message of liberty and true hope must be understood by a larger audience.”
It was reported Friday that Palin had parted ways with Fox News after three years and would no longer be a paid contributor. Palin joined Fox News in 2009, after she resigned as Alaska governor.
As for her future plans, Palin told Breitbart News the “door is wide open.”
“I know the country needs more truth-telling in the media, and I’m willing to do that,” she said. “So, we shall see.”(continued)

Many of our “representatives” (elected of self-appointed) don’t even wan to preach to the choir.
Santa’s bag will be empty soon, as the toy-making elves go Galt.
You’ll need other station brands.
I have been referring to them for so long to anyone I talk to as the Propaganda Broadcasting Service and National Propaganda Radio that those initials are forever ruined.
The mugging will occur sometime this year.
How much would, say, a few million organized conservatives have to contribute?
They believe that in order to be successful as a Party, they must move more to the Left, a move that has been so successful in the past.
All you need to look at is Presidential election history to see these successes....Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, John McCain and the most Moderate (or more accurately, Liberal) Republican Presidential nominee of them all, Mitt Romney.
Even with all these successes, this Republican Party continues down the same path.
Our dilemma is that actual Conservative leaders actually lead and do appeal to the majority of the electorate. But, they are few at present, either afraid to take on the Liberal media or not Conservatives at all.
Gov. Palin is about the only National figure I can think of that continues to be both Conservative and unafraid. We need her and more like her.
But her time to make a major national move has...moved on.
She's the greatest...but her time has passed.
She is still an important thinker and voice. But (IMHO), I don't see Sarah moving into a leadership position.
Of course, I might be wrong...I am often wrong...but I am also often right.
I know you hate to hear anything negative about Sarah...but I love you guys.
I would love to see Sarah rise to the top of the heap.
But I just don't see it happening.
Unfortunately...she has been marginalized. Unlike that old fart Newt Gingrich, who keeps proving his worth in debate.
Is Sarah signaling she is going to be joining the lib media?
The “tribal” identity you speak of is broadly divided around “interest-oriented” identification: Unmarried women (abortion, contraception, child care; equal pay rhetoric etc; GLBT (right of perversion); Hispanics (illegal immigration); Blacks (welfare and affirmative action); Asians (cultural and religious equality: 74% voted for Obama); Moslems (religious equality: “We are not a Christian nation”); SEIU (government and private unions); NEA (teacher funding, seniority, tenure; public school monopoly). These are all key Democratic constituencies backed by the MSM and Hollywood and Silicon Valley billionaires.
This all gets you to 51%. That’s how Obama won despite his disastrous domestic and foreign policy record. This now a permanent majority.
It’s because she’s a woman that you guys oppose her, isn’t it? Because it doesn’t make any sense otherwise. Not that I give a sh*t at this point. Because if a man appeared on the scene who embodied all or even part of her qualities, you’d be drooling at his feet.
and even non Jews pander to them.....its like you couldn't get elected if you didn't please the Jewish voters....
so why?....
"our" minority status...whoever "we" are and whatever our status, we have to establish OUR voting electorate...
we can have a much stronger influence on politics if we realize that Hispanic and black and asian candidates can not be elected without US!
but I'll tell you right now....witnessed here on FR.....we're gigantic idiots and fools because we had a decent candidate and freepers were crucifying him from the get go....
if we can't come together to fight our enemies, then we are lost....
shameful what happened here on FR....
if we continue to divide, then "we" will have no voice at all...
Guns.
I was agreeing with every word of your post until you got to this tripe, “but her sell-by date has expired.”
There is something I would tell you to go do, but it’s not humanly possible. Still, you are invited to try it.
I agree with Rep. Ryan saying you must pick fights you can win or use to educate citizens on government problems, but the GOP must stand rock solid on its core issues.
To endure the GOP has to decide it represents solid, conservative values and stick to these values. The values are: America is a constitutional republic, the elected politicians and government administrators must follow the constitution. The first 10 Amendments recognize our natural rights and limit government’s powers.
Conservatism is a belief in a higher power and natural rights, government is subject to the citizens, not over the citizens. Family is the natural unit and every life is sacred. Citizens are responsible for their own lives, families and must support themselves unless sick or disabled (only then will private charity or government offer a hand). Citizens and business may keep the fruits of their work and taxes are are limited to necessary government (social order, infrastructure, defense, judicial access, administration, agencies exist only for necessary government duties). Capitalism, not socialism, is the way for us to prosper. Government regulation exists to the point necessary to keep markets orderly, provide equal access and to prevent or prosecute fraud. No citizen or business unit is more equal than another, all are equal under the law and in the market place. Taxes and regulations are for revenue or regulation, not social engineering or promoting an agenda beyond the narrow purpose for which enacted.
Services and support from government are for the benefit of citizens and legal residents. Any illegals are here on sufferance only and subject to all laws.
You speak the truth. First requirement to implement change.
Mrs. Palin is the one to do it.
Don’t get discourged by the time line it will take, it may be a couple (or more) of election cycles.
We did it up here (took many years), but it can be done.
Hang in there, FRiends.
I am not offended by your insults.
Jewish voters (less than 2% and falling) have almost no impact on our politics. They are almost all crammed into a handful of congressional districts that are overwhelmingly Democrat anyway.
Jewish influence comes from using wealth and persuasive talents, and is amply represented on the right as well as the left.
Jews have switched from business to the professions, meaning fewer large fortunes to expend on influence. The resurgence of Jew-hate means fewer Jewish voices in all kinds of media.
The Golden Age of American Jewry is over. Islam is on the rise.
