| Sarah Palin will no longer be a paid contributor to Fox News. The former Alaska governor and the network have parted ways, a source close to Palin told ABC News. The same source said it was her decision to leave the network and that Fox offered her an opportunity to renew her contract. Fox News did not immediately return ABC News´ request for comment, but Fox News Executive Vice President Bill Shine told The New York Times in a statement, "We have thoroughly enjoyed our association with Gov. Palin. We wish her the best in her future endeavors."

Comments: Was she really there all that much?

Article says the story broke here:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2013/01/25/sarah_palin_parts_ways_with_fox_news_116807.html
From that article:
“It’s my understanding that Gov. Palin was offered a contract by FOX, and she decided not to renew the arrangement,” the source close to Palin told RCP. “She remains focused on broadening her message of common-sense conservatism across the country and will be expanding her voice in the national discussion.”

Fox has disappointed me with the way they muzzled Sarah Palin. I hope she will be unfettered now, but I fear she will not have a venue to voice our views as she once did so well.

Fox, including Greta, haven´t called on her very much in the last 6-9 months. I suspect there were restrictions in actions that she could take while under contract to Fox as a "contributor". And it is not necessarily a plus to be tied to any network. This frees her to act as she wishes.

Hard to think she was muzzled about anything. Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter and the one who sits in for O´Reilly, (can´t think of her name right now), and others certainly aren´t muzzled and I doubt she was either.

I know for a fact they cancelled some of her appearances during the conventions. FOX muzzled E.D. Hill when she asked what the heck the fistbump thing was during the 2008 elections - she got demoted, then fired.
FOX muzzled Michelle Malkin when she used to fill in for O´Reilly and said something they didn´t like. Now Laura Ingraham is there.
Meanwhile Jemmu, Kristin, Beckel, Colmes, Juan and now Dennis can tell any lies they want so Fox can falsely claim to be ´fair and balanced´. There are truths and there are lies and they do not deserve equal time, FOX!

A FOX News aside note: During the week, before FOX and Friends at 0600, the network now has on two leggy blonds in the shortest skirts I´ve ever seen...and not sitting behind a desk. On the one hand, that´s fine and good--very uplifting; but on the other hand, it does seem a bit (what´s the word?) Cheap? Tawdry? Low Class (that´s two words!).
End of message.

We look forward to whatever Sarah has in mind for her future, as is her Right in the USA. She is a cheery All-American patriot who has so much to offer this country´s goals of Life, Liberty & Justice for ALL, so we hope to hear more of her wisdom regarding living & thriving in the USA again very soon.
With amazing good cheer & grace, the entire Palin Family has endured many bogus barbs by the vile statists who have stalked her mercilessly for years and who still don´t understand that CHARACTER COUNTS and so Palin is the victor.

I noticed that Palin´s appearances on Fox dropped sharply after O´Reilly conducted a telephone interview of her and she wouldn´t let him interrupt her and tell her what she was saying. She talked right over him, saying the communication between the studio and her home was bad and she couldn´t tell what was being said. I thought she was terrific and I was cheering her on from my Living Room.
She is, to my knowledge (which is limited because I don´t watch Fox much any more), the only person who managed to control an interview with O´Reilly....which probably led to her lack of subsequent appearances on Fox.

My family has always been staunch FOX supporters until the Newtown shooting. This event was so obviously a hoax perpetrated by Obama and the media to manipulate us into giving up our arms. Not only did FOX fail to expose the lie, they fed into the lie...so much so that I´m sure they were involved as well. FOX is now considered by us as the MSM. Thank God for Ldotters and Breitbart!

#28, you can thank the DNC, the leftist operatives and their army of lawyers for creating the situation that made it impossible for any Alaska state business to get done and tying up all their resources with excessive frivolous inquiries and lawsuits (all of which were thrown out). That is why she resigned--for the good of the state. Still, she accomplished more in her short tenure than most Governors do in two terms!
I wonder if 19 thinks the Obamas have impeccable etiquette, class and gravitas...? (cough, cough)

Grief and politics don´t mix. When raw, aching grief and the dirtiest kind of politics meet, a hot volcano of pain and outrage erupts that is unstoppable. But it is necessary.(Snip)before Benghazi, there was Extortion 17, the call sign of a special operations mission in Afghanistan on Aug. 6, 2011. Three months after the strike on Osama bin Laden, 30 Americans -- including 15 from the bin Laden strike-team unit, Navy SEAL Team 6, and two other SEALs -- were killed in the costliest single-day loss for the U.S. military in the Afghanistan war, and the largest SEAL loss

A faulty steering apparatus may bring an early end to NASA’s Kepler space telescope, a $600 million tool in the space agency’s quest for life elsewhere in the universe. Kepler is the first NASA mission capable of finding Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone, the range of distance from a star where the surface temperature of an orbiting planet might be suitable for liquid water. Launched in 2009, it has discovered thousands of such planets, including a pair just 1,200 light years away.(Snip) But yesterday, Kepler’s mission ran into trouble.

The Internal Revenue Service last year supplied a left-leaning nonprofit charity with confidential information about conservative organizations, which the charity disseminated to the public, ProPublica reported yesterday. The charity in question was ProPublica itself. We should acknowledge that "left-leaning" is our characterization; ProPublica describes itself in its own tax filings as "entirely non-partisan and non-ideological." ProPublica is legally obliged to be nonpartisan, for it enjoys tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which means that contributions to it are tax-deductible.

If it is proven that the IRS thwarted some groups from obtaining tax-exempt status in fear that their traditional or conservative messages might hurt the 2012 Obama campaign (especially if it did so under pressure from White House-affiliated operatives), and if it is proven that the Obama administration deliberately ignored warnings about lax security at the Benghazi consulate, missed real opportunities to send help, or deliberately massaged intelligence reports in order to mislead the pre-election public about the true nature of Benghazi in order to further a false campaign narrative of a near dormant al-Qaeda

IS CONSERVATIVE THE new radical? The fashion world certainly seems to think so. This season, designers filled their runways with restrained silhouettes that echo the graceful, showing-less-is-more aesthetic of generations past. Designers are reimagining soignée staples for spring and summer—skirt suits, twin sets, below-the-knee dresses, kitten heels and frame bags—that appear anything but moth-eaten. In fact, fashion´s neoconservative coup d´état feels deliciously defiant, given the excessively revealing styles pop culture celebrates. A quick flip through any supermarket tabloid yields an

It would be too easy to make fun of the good Christian voters of South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District who saw fit to return their disgraced former Gov. Mark Sanford to the office he once held. I won’t do it. Well, maybe just a little. Sanford, whose political rise was fueled by his conservative principles and focus on family values, did not stay true to his wife. But in the end, the voters in South Carolina’s 1st stayed true to him.(Snip)“Obviously, there´s a vulnerability to me now that people respond to," Sanford told

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans
