EXCLUSIVE: Fox News will not renew its contract with Sarah Palin, whose bombastic appearances have been a cable staple since the former Alaska governor’s failed run on John McCain’s ticket in 2007. When asked for comment, a Fox News spokesperson confirmed the network had amicably parted ways with the governor on June 1.
Palin, 51, is expected to make occasional guest appearances on Fox and Fox Business, and will appear on other networks and cables. She has a show on the Sportsman Channel, does a lot of speeches, and will announce a new publishing project soon.
When Palin was at her zenith, she made frequent appearances, and Fox installed a camera at her house. But executives consider her less relevant now, and her appearances were sometimes hampered by the vast time difference with Alaska. She remains a huge conservative force on Facebook, with 4.5 million fans – twice that of Rand Paul, who has the biggest reach in the 2016 field. She also has 1.15 million Twitter followers.
Palin’s Facebook page got a new look at midnight, including a new cover photo with a quote from her announcement speech in Dayton, Ohio: “I didn’t get into government to do the safe and easy things. A ship in harbor is safe but that’s not why the ship is built.”
She’ll remain heavily involved in GOP congressional and gubernatorial primaries for 2016, and many candidates have reached out to her. This week, SarahPAC is donating to over 40 candidates. She is currently out in the mail to several thousand SarahPAC donors with a half-hour documentary DVD detailing her impact on Republican politics over the past 3 cycles.
Her last contract extension was only a ploy by Murdoch to buy her silence on Amnesty.
Hopefully Palin will be able to speak more freely now.
Interesting comment... I found that irritating too. If she had a sexy (”throaty”) voice like Suzanne Pleshette (former actress) she would have been taken far more seriously.
Yeah, sure. Would you like some Vodka with your Zoloft and Prozac?
Well she was a governor and got off to a great start. She was a VP candidate. However since then she hasn't done much. We need more people like her in the US Senate. Someone like her should be majority leader.
Drifting leftward?
I’m an infrequent viewer of Fox, but it seems they’ve gone for a fast left turn.
But as I watch it infrequently, it may be just my perception.
“Drifting leftward” might not be exactly accurate; it’s just become more obvious.
While there’s no doubt that many Fox News personalities have never been conservative, I think it’s also true that their expressions of solidarity with the left has become more brazen over time. It sure seems like they used to be more cautious about revealing their biases.
does your gross ignorance keep you awake nights?
Awwwwww man what a dish!!!
SarahPac info at the following link for 2014. Change the
year for data from other cycles.
Under the PAC Contribution Data it will list the candidates
receiving PAC money.

Crazy much?
To me, the screechiness of her voice is an endearing quality. Just like when Bush 43 would mess up in the middle of a sentence. To some people though, things like that are intolerable.
I stopped reading when I hit ‘bombastic’.
What utter bullshit.
Suzanne Pleshette got that throaty voice from a copious diet of cigarettes, which eventually killed her.
Dear God help and protect AMERICA and our system of government which created the best country in this world. Forgive us our sins and lack of caring in the day to day developments and our failures to stand for our principals, principles. MO!
