Ms. Palin became a national celebrity after her unsuccessful 2008 vice presidential turned into a media career as a paid Fox News contributor from January 2010 to January of this year. The Wall Street Journal reported in January that Ms. Palin wouldn't be renewing her contract with the cable news networking, citing a person familiar with the matter.

"I've had several conversations with Governor Palin in the past few weeks about her rejoining Fox News as a contributor," Mr. Ailes said Thursday. "I have great confidence in her and am pleased that she will once again add her commentary to our programming."

Ms. Palin will appear on Fox News Channel's daytime and primetime programming, starting with Fox & Friends on Monday. She will also contribute to Fox Business Network.....

What next, rehiring Glenn Beck?

Indeed. I demand that all 330 million private citizens in the United States let me know their opinions on immigration. And make me a pie. Cherry, lemon meringue, apple of French silk.

So that was a yes?

You believe that Governor Palin is being paid off to silence her on news and politics, by being hired back to do her political commentator and analyst work on the top News/politics network, that she left not very long ago?

What next, rehiring Glenn Beck?

The Ed Snowden Show, live, for insomniac libertarians.

You are a nut with no honor.

You simply make up a disgusting lie about a fine person, and brazenly show it to the world with no self consciousness at all.

What a sleazy bottom feeder.

[ConservativeMan55]

I’m about tired of the bottom feeders like that around here.

[PoloSec]

I wonder will FOX will re-install studio equipment in home?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Where did you read that they took it back?

You are a nut with no honor.

Personally, I would say the GOP-e amnesty pimps are the nuts without honor.

[ansel12]

They aren’t here right now, you are.

Only a disgusting loser, as dishonest as the day is long, when he wants to insult someone, or criticize someone like Governor Palin, makes up a complete bald-faced lie about her and then starts posting it on the internet.

[Cyber Liberty]

I hope she got a “Play me or trade me” clause this time. Last time they refused to air her when they didn’t like what she had to say. It’s their right to do that, but she’s being a fool if she lets them do it again.

I don't think she's being paid off. As a former journo, she knows where the red lines are and what third rail topics to avoid, if she wants to remain viable in broadcast news/entertainment.

[bicyclerepair]

I want a Sarah Palin Channel.

[ansel12]

LOL, to paraphrase post 6.

Kissing tail and kowtowing-she's doin' it wrong.

And Palin's power is in politics and political influence as the conservative leader and the most effective endorser in history, not in entertainment.

The future of the country is at stake in the immigration debate and you are handing out passes to leaders of the conservative movement to "avoid third rails" so that they can "remain viable". That's what we expect from Boehner and his crew, not true leaders like Cruz and Palin.

Sarah Palin = Ratings
Smart business decision. Bet she got one hellofa contract!!

Go get ‘em Sarah!!

[Zhang Fei]

I'd take issue with the bolded part of that assertion. Palin endorsed Mourdock. He lost. She endorsed Christine O'Donnell. She lost. She endorsed Sharron Angle. She lost. Palin is enormously influential in GOP primaries. But she doesn't get Republicans elected in place of Democrats.

[The Wizard]

Is there not one news outfit that can get it right: MRS> Palin.......respect her husband, family and personal wishes.

hello NSA

[The Wizard]

Here she comes......step by step.....

I am merely suggesting that by accepting a position in the media, she is effectively muzzling herself. In today's media environment, being against illegal immigration is akin to being against mixed marriages. The moment she stakes out a position against illegal immigration, she will be looking for a new job. I don't blame her for looking out for her family - she does need to pay the bills, and TV gigs are well-remunerated. But anyone who thinks this gives her a platform for talking about immigration may end up being sorely disappointed.
