Seems Fox News is citing with the GOP establishment over the tea party and conservatives. Now Fox News head Roger Ailes attacks Palin. Says she was hired for ratings and has no chance to win any election.

Correction: Meant siding not citing.

Well, we can’t all forget about that so-called “course correction” that Ailes spoke of last year. It’s quite blatant now. (Will Fox News’ ratings now fall down to the levels of Cable News Network and Microsoft/National Broadcasting Corporation?)

Ailes also said today that Newt was not ever going to be on Fox again. Roger has got too big for his own good. They look at the conservatives as their enemies. Why does Sarah stay there any longer.

“Sarah Palin had no chance to be President.”

Translation: "We would have seen to it that she didn't win the Presidency."

That was also said about Sarah before she ran for mayor. And governor.

Well, chalk one up for Media Matters and the Obama Administration. It didn’t take them long to destroy the only half-way decent news channel we had. RIP FNC.

If Al Gore can own a TV Network - why not Newt’s conservatives (& benefactor Adelson) be encouraged to support and finance a Constitutional Cable Channel???????

It’s way past time for true capitalists to advertise their products and services on a TV channel that advocates for free enterprise, individual freedom and less Government rules & regulations.

Think FCC!!!!!!!!!!!

Ailes hired Palin thinking that he could control her like a puppet. In one article at the time (I remember seeing), he bragged about how he could influence rising political stars of the future.

She had none of it, and ever since then, he's been doing everything he can to undermine her, especially after Tucson, when he and the GOP-E threw her to the wolves. She was obviously aware of his game and started thumbing her nose right back at him, albeit in a fairly low-key manner to avoid any accusations of insubordination to protect her Fox contract.

Being that everything Sarah does receives instant publicity and scrutiny, I wish she’d go out and stump for Newt just a couple times. It would change the whole spectrum of the 2012 primary, and national election.
Do it for our country, Sarah!

Sarah Palin jumped the shark when she didn’t run for the Alaska Senate in ‘10 against that (rhymes with punt). That was hers’ for the taking.

He was of course correct. Sarah did not have a chance at the nomination.

The proof is that she knew it as well and chose not to spend the time money and energy on a certain loss.

To make such a statement is not to discredit nor demean her outstanding conservative political philosophy.

Boycott Fox News. It was the conservative viewer's that made their ratings soar and it is the conservative viewer that will cause their ratings to plumment. Fox is turning into another dime a dozen left wing news station.

Fox picked Alan Colmes, Beckle, Geraldo, Juan Williams for their ratings? American people loved Fox News in the beginning because it was an alternative to the same ole left wing cheap news stations...now Fox is joining forces with them. Fox's ratings will sink like the Titantic

Whatever his motivation (more like a Ferengi than anything else), she has a platform for her views, so that’s win-win.

Mr. Ailes, complete this sentence: Sarah Palin brings Fox News high ratings because ________________________________.

It's pretty easy to stop watching FOX News.

Just DON'T turn it on and you won't have to watch it.

Seems Fox News is citing with the GOP establishment over the tea party and conservatives.

That was clear when they tried to "take out" Newt early on in 2011 by trumping up and taking out of context his comments about the Paul Ryan budget. That was clearly a huge, coordinated effort between the GOP elites, FOX News and RINO radio hosts like Bill Bennett, done to try and cut the legs out from under Romney's #1 primary threat, Newt Gingrich.

Fox is siding with the globalist cabal that owns them. Surprise? I hope not.
