Former Governor of Alaska and Republican vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, will work for Fox News as an on air contributor.
Palin will provide political analysis and commentary for Fox News. She will also host a series called: "Real American Stories."
Bill Shine, executive vice president of programming said: "Palin has captivated everyone on both sides of the political spectrum, and we are excited to add her dynamic voice to the Fox News lineup."
Palin caught the spotlight in 2008 as John McCain's running mate. Her memoir: "Going Rogue" released last year became a best seller.
Fox did not release details of her contract. Palin refused comment and referred inquires to Fox News.

This would suggest that there are Palin supporters who don't already watch FOX. I really doubt that kind of person exists.

I think this move will increase the ratings for Fox News. Hard to believe it wouldn't. Like her or not, she is a juggernaut brand.
News Corp.'s jewel asset may see value from this pundit addition; if the other parts of the conglomerate can pull their weight (especially broadcaster Fox, which needs to improve), then the stock could eventually benefit. Although, with a conglomerate this big, keep in mind Palin is one small piece to the overall puzzle.

If FOX is fair and balanced, who are they hiring that is opposite Palin? No one of course! Did I ever mention I can see FOX studios from my Florida home? lol...

This is a brilliant move by both Fox and Palin. FOX captures more ratings from the governent-controlled media machine and Palin gets to showcase her political views and conservative opinions---just in case.

Well, it will be interesting to see what effect her addition to the network brings. I'm not at all sure even though I certainly admire her. She has really gotten tons of attention

The trolls will be glued to Fox News even more. Personally, I hope she fails and the trolls see what an idiot she is.... but we're on a collision course with Idiocracy, so the odds are against me.
