Sarah Palin: FOX News contributor
by Mark Silva and updated
Sarah Palin has contributed to civic service in Wasilla, Alaska, the ex-mayor has contributed service to the state of Alaska, and now the ex-governor will be contributing something to the nation's No. 1-rated cable news network, FOX.
Howard Kurtz, the Washington Post media critic with reliable sources, first reported word from a FOX executive today on Palin's hiring.
Bill Shine, executive vice president of programming for FOX, has announced the news with a note that "Gov. 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."
In addition to commentary across the news network's programming, Palin will host periodic episodes of FNC's "Real American Stories," a series exploring inspirational real-life tales of overcoming adversity throughout the American landscape starting this year.
, "I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at FOX News,'' Palin said in a statement released by the network. "It's wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news."
That will put two erstwhile 2008 candidates for national office on the FOX lineup. Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas who sought the GOP nomination for president, has his own weekly show.
Huckabee and Palin both are viewed as potential candidates for 2012.
FOX, Kurtz notes, will provide Palin with a farther-reaching forum than her Facebook page, which has gathered some one-million followers in the aftermath of her resignation as governor. Palin, who studied journalism in her youth, had wanted to be a television sportscaster, but was dismayed that ESPN was based in Bristol, Conn. So instead she named her first daughter Bristol
Palin's recruitnment for Sen. John McCain's presidential ticket in 2008 was part of "God's plan,'' Palin reportedly said at the time -- this tidbit from that new book, Game Change, reporting on intel from Steve Schmidt, McCain's former campaign manager.
Her new TV career, it appears, is part of Rupert Murdoch's plan.
Op-Ed: Reid's Word Choice Reveals Character Flaw
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has apologized for referring to President Obama, while he was running for president, as "light-skinned" with "no Negro dialect." The comments prompted many Republicans to call on Reid to resign. But political analyst Keli Goff says that although she's not ready to label Reid a racist, his poor choice of words reveal a great deal about his character.
