Too funny. Ailes will have to offer her bonuses for "announcements."

If Palin doesn't care about her party, country, church or family why would she give a shiat about Ailes? Doesn't matter anyway, FN is a whorehouse and Ailes will pay her as long as she brings in clientele.

FTFA: The Fox News chief ... was livid that Palin made the October 5 announcement on Mark Levin's conservative talk-radio program, robbing Fox News of an exclusive and a possible ratings bonanza.

Aren't Fox News' ratings pretty much static at this point? I mean pretty much everyone who's going to be watching Fox is pretty much already watching Fox, aren't they?

Seriously. Let that sink in. She gets a million dollars a year to say whatever pops in to her head.

This is exactly as childish as I imagined it, therefore it really doesn't qualify as news.

But Fox needs them to be watching ALL THE TIME. Only then can they remove the desire to view any other sources of information. As long as their viewers keep switching back to other media, there's a alight chance they might learn something that wasn't filtered through the echochamber.

/I hate it when I write like this.

I've been on Fark long enough to know it's because he found out she wasn't going to sleep with him.

FTFA: Palin is said to have made her announcement on Levin's show because she's been upset that Fox News has given a platform to Karl Rove, one of her principal critics. "She isn't happy with Karl," one Palin adviser told me. "From day one, he hasn't been very nice." Levin had become Palin's biggest booster in the conservative commentariat, and Palin is known for rewarding loyalists, and punishing her detractors.

Palin is the mom who storms into the local school board meeting raising hell because her daughter wasn't picked for the middle school cheerleading squad. The mind boggling thing is that she was elected state governor and nearly vice president.

"I paid her for two years to make this announcement on my network," Ailes pointedly told Shine.

I thought it was for her thoughtful analysis.

For some reason, the picture of Ailes in TFA makes me think of hedonism bot from Futurama.

bulldg4life: Seriously. Let that sink in. She gets a million dollars a year to say whatever pops in to her head.

Big numbers are difficult to contextualize for many people. Let's put it into perspective of a normal wage-earner. If that were a full time job (and it is not), she'd be paid more than $480 an hour to do... whatever it is she does. The mind reels. I need to get into the business of yelling about socialism. Or does my physical-science-based degree disqualify me?

Ailes should send her to Karachi for 6 months to cover the war in Afghanistan.

Oh snap. Sugar Daddy got pimped? Game reckinize game, Rog.

Thought you had old girl on lockdown, playa? You flossed that ass for years. Girl stepped out on ya, gave up the guts to your boy Marky Mark. Bro housed that shiat. Shorty flipped the script on that ass, left you on Front Street with ya dick in ya hand. You got played like xBox, SONNNNNN. Now you mad. You maaaaaaad. You mad. Why u mad tho? I ain't even mad.

True ballers respect. Shorty went baseline on ya. crossed you up and snapped those ankles.

Game reckinize game, Rog.

The contract should have stated implicitly that she would get paid until she announced that she wasn't running for president and therefore became (even more) irrelevant. Because, come on, who didn't see this coming a mile away.

/Is that the correct use of "implicitly"?

There is still a good chance that Sarah will run as a third party independent. With Romney as the presumed GOP pick, a large part of the base will go her way. There are also a significant number Democrats who have realized that Obama is a failure, who will also throw there support to Palin. It will be a very close race.

Tusz: I need to get into the business of yelling about socialism. Or does my physical-science-based degree disqualify me?

Disqualify you? You could make great money as a contributor being a scientist who is skeptical about climate change. And when the guilt drives you insane they'll give you your own prime time show.

I suspect that this comment would be both insightful and amusing, if only I could understand a single goddamn word of it.

That's because they know their base perfectly: a bunch of goddamn morons proud of their ignorance. You almost can't blame Fox News or Palin for taking advantage of these saps. Almost.

Tusz: I need to get into the business of yelling about socialism. Or does my physical-science-based degree disqualify me?

Even better. You'd qualify as an expert who could expose the truth about the scientific community and its filthy lies.

Of *course* he's upset - his media-whore didn't perform as he paid her to. Surely Palin didn't think she was hired to give her opinion, rather than perform for the dog-and-pony show that Fox News runs. I notice that she is much more low-key, or maybe fading into obscurity now that she's officially (for now) not running for President in 2012.

Coincidence?

Murdoch owns The Sun too.

Diogenes: Christ. What a bunch of children.

Palin seems to be able to turn any environment into a high school cheerleader "drama."

I was gonna call them all assholes, but this is a much better description of the situation.

The biggest downside to having a conscience is the way it limits your earning potential.

There are no words to describe the hilarity of this statement.

Just no.

Ackbar_GastricFluid: Is that the correct use of "implicitly"?

Not really. I think you probably meant "explicitly." Don't worry about it, though - it's not as though you said "infer" when you meant "imply."

"I paid her for two years to make this announcement on my network," Ailes pointedly told Shine.

I thought she was being paid for her political commentary. This remark makes it seem as though Ailes was only using her for her popularity, and not her insight.

Oh me, oh my.

He white knighted her on several message boards and she still wouldn't sleep with him?
