Fox News and its chairman, Roger Ailes, are trying to put on a new face this year, after the old one was embarrassed in its coverage of the 2012 election.
Most memorable was the inability of Karl Rove to accept the fact that Barack Obama won, even after Fox News had called the election.
Ailes has indicated he wants faces associated with the election, off the air, including Karl Rove and Dick Morris. Fox News programming chief Bill Shine, has issued orders that producers must get permission before inviting Rove or Morris to appear.
Roger Ailes has a history of unethical behavior, which includes direct contact with Condoleezza Rice, David Petraeus, and Chris Christie regarding an offer of help in future campaigns.
“It’s a perverse sort of dynamic in which the president of a news organization is shielded from revelations of unethical behavior by his long-established record of unethical behavior. And while it’s certainly true that Fox News is first and foremost a political operation, that doesn’t explain entirely why Ailes is free to behave the way he does. The network also has a dysfunctional (one could argue nonexistent) culture of accountability.”
It also appears that part of Ailes’ plan to put a new face on Fox is getting rid of Sarah Palin.In spite of direct messages left with Brian Lewis, Executive Vice President, and Irena Briganti, Group Sr. V.P., I was unable to get direct confirmation of the non-renewal of Palin’s contract. However she has still not appeared this month, and we are half-way through January. Moreover, “Gene” has left a comment indicating that Fox has recently hired Zedediah Bila who seems to be more educated, prettier, and younger than Sarah Palin.
Palin has only posted one article on her Facebook page since January 1st, and that wasn’t about politics.
Palin is Toast!

Clean you ears
Malia, how do you think the public would react if Biden and Palin’s Couric interviews were side by side and viewers watched them simultaneously?
Here’s a refresher
Thoughts on media bias?

Clean you ears,
Biden has said a lot of foolish things, but I don’t think this is one of them. Roosevelt did have to help the country through the Great Depression, which resulted from the Crash. I don’t think Biden was trying to say Roosevelt got on tv that day and announced what he was going to do to fix the problems. http://valuestockguide.com/the-great-depression-the-stock-market-crash-and-beyond/

jcincoj,

Let’s see, what could she put on it…Ethics Oil & Gas Commission in Alaska…oh no she quit…Governor of Alaska…oh no she quit…VP candidate…oh no she lost…Fox News commentator…oh no she didn’t get her contract renewed…mother of five…oh no, four…married to a man of character…oh, no he’s a pimp.

The Palin Troll is back. Joe Biden is a Patriot, can you truthfully say that about the AIP affiliated Sarah Palin? Joe Biden is well liked in Congress, and he understands the workings of Congress. Can you say anything close to that about Sarah Palin? Joe Biden is not married to a Sex Trafficker, can you say that about Sarah Palin. The Media Bias exists when it comes to exposing the crimes and LIES of the Palin Family. The Media has given her a pass.

right on!
$arah was asked by a 3rd grader what the VP did, and got the answer wrong on live TV
$arah referred to the “Department of Law” there in DC. There IS NO Dept of Law in the Federal government
$arah could not answer a simple question about rulings of the Supreme Court when asked by Katie Couric
Just who does she think she was foolin’?

I wonder how much money Clean Your Ears has lost… I meant given to SarahPac?
LOL SEND SARAH PALIN YOUR BEST DONATION TO CONVINCE HER TO RUN FOR 2012 PRESIDENT

You know you’re probably right! Clean your ears probably helped decorate that bus that the Palins took on their family vacation.

Isn’t saying you are going to do something, and taking money for it, and not doing it considered fraud? If you or I did that we would end up in jail, so why is Sarah still out on the streets?

Again, you’re bringing this up? Biden’s verbal typos are just that…typos. He cleaned Ryan’s clock. Sarah Palin is a moron who barely was able to memorize canned answers. Her knowledge is an inch wide and a quarter inch deep. I wish Biden could have gone all out against her, but he didn’t want to be seen as a bully.

Clean you (Should be your) ears…Are you being home schooled by Sarah? Seems as if you are not very knowledgeable on history. It was great to see in Game Change how uneducated Sarah is on history too. Just glad to see Todd has enough education to be able to run a business even though he is just a pimp. At least he can read, write, and count. Counting will help Todd in the future figure out his release date! Hope the kids can write because the phone calls can get really expensive! The FEDS tend to ship you around the entire country for a very long, long time.

FOX can’t get rid of Sarah Palin! She is America’s energy expert even though she never took any energy classes in that field or wrote any papers.
Sarah Palin is a journalist even though nobody has seen her college diploma, read any of her works or remember her from college.
FOX can’t get rid of Sarah Palin. She is an activist for DS children. She hasn’t hosted or appeared in charity events but she will someday.
Sarah Palin is an absentee pillar of the Christian church but it is not her fault. She is a busy women reading the National Enquirer at Kmarts and travels to car races in Las Vegas.
FOX can’t get rid of Sarah Palin, she has an unemployed husband and children to take care of. She needs income because SarahPac is drying up, DWTS is not calling and hasn’t given a paid speech for some time now. Sarah Palin can’t enroll her honor student children into college without that job.

Willow,
I’m waiting for Palin to dis Fox News. You know she has a history of turning on those who previously supported her, and I think it’s about Fox’s time.

Shawn's MOM
Oh, poor, baby Sarah. Losing the million dollar a year job at Fox. What a shame. Now she will become like the rest of us poor folks who actually have to work a real job to earn a dime. That is of course, if she can get one. Who would want to hire a quitter? Maybe she can go back to that college education she got and do something real with her life. Oh, sorry I forgot, which of the 5 colleges did she actually get the diploma from? Couldn’t have been the one from Hawaii, as she had to leave there because the “natives” scared her! The natives were scared of her too. I got it, maybe she can get a job washing cars as she seems to be so interested in them at the races. Guess she will have to give that up as well. I have an idea that can save the day…Willow could become the bread winner for the Palin/Heath families and be a hero. She can leave from under Sarah’s wing and come out with her own story. She can tell how she got pregnant at 13 years old when Sarah was elected Governor and Willow had to attend Juenau Douglas High School and both her and her sister Bristol were asked to leave “unofficially”. Willow can explain why Sarah had to put on a big forest to make sure to try and save her career. Two knocked up under-aged daughters for a Christian Hockey Mom running on family values does not make a good VP Candidate. Willow can explain how she got caught using Sarah’s Blackberry to text Shawn Christy, and how Mommy over reacted when she found out and has been trying to set the Christy’s up ever since to make sure Willow did not run off and get knocked up again. Willow could now be famous like her sister Bristol and receive the awards that Sarah will not let her have for all the trouble she has caused her Mommy. Willow could now have her own books, her own reality TV show, be a motivational speaker like Bristol, and now be able to take care of her own baby Trig! It must really hurt Willow not being able to live her own life, but have to be controlled by Sarah to protect Sarah’s lies and her self destructing career.

Gene
So Willow’s Pregnancy scare was an actual Pregnancy? Is that why Willow was out of School with ‘MONO’? Please tell us more, I for one have been under the impression that Trig was Bristol’s son. Where was Trig born, and when?
January 17, 2013 at 10:01 pm
Shawn's MOM
Well Gene, we are all wondering where Trig was born too. Trig could not be Bristol’s baby if the birth dates are correct. Trig was born April 18, 2008 and Tripp was born December 28, 2008. Bristol would have had to have gotten knocked up either in her last 2 weeks of pregnancy or right when she gave birth to Trig. The dates don’t add up. Both girls were asked “unofficially” to leave Juneau Douglas High School due to their behavior for using drugs and having sex during school hours. We heard that the girls were brought back to Wasilla, and that is the reason why Sarah stopped spending all her time at the Governor’s mansion in Juneau. This explains the mysterious “mono” and also the e-mail threats against the girls that the Juneau Police or the High School had no records of. Willow was only 13 at the time. There is a big difference between a 17 year old getting pregnant and a 13 year old getting pregnant, especially when Willow has Asperger’s Syndrome. This is why she struggles with a speach impediment that Sarah has paid thousands of dollars to try and correct. This is another one of Sarah’s little secrets. It’s sad when a parent isn’t proud of their child for who and what they are. If this story would have gotten out, Sarah would have never been chosen as John McCain’s VP Candidate. Imagine not just dealing with Bristol’s pregnancy, but also Willow’s pregnancy, and at such a young age, in the same year, is a real stretch to try and cover up. From what we’ve been told, Trig suffers from Trisomy Genetic Disorder, which is called Trig/T-rig for short. This would explain why Trig was born with holes in his heart, it is an extremely rare disorder, but it is not Downs Syndrome. We find it’s highly unusual to name a baby after a disease it has. You don’t meet many people named Cancer. We also believe that if there is a birth certificate, the mother listed would be Willow and chances are the father would come up as unknown. Our sources from Juneau High School said that the girls were partying like animals and I believe Willow was caught when she was 15 partying in Juneau and that film clip made it to YouTube. I doubt very much Sarah would go as far as adopting Trig because that would leave way too much of a paper trail for people to find. Our best guess is that Trig’s birth certificate is in Anchorage where Sarah has 100% control of all types of public and court documents. She has alot of friends that do her daily favors in the courthouse in Anchorage.

I hope Zedediah Bila is not married to a pimp or has grandkids from her unmarried children. We need a cleaner Christian family image on tv. Enough with carnival barkers and their side show uneducated dysfunctional families and their attempts to dominate reality tv shows.

Why do you people keep making fun of our Sarah Palin? Do you feel threatened by her?
We in Alaska love Sarah Palin and we are in process of securing land for the Sarah Palin Presidential Library but if it falls through we will name one of the city’s department of sanitation porta potties after her.

Bubba,
I you need someone to come to Alaska to dedicate on of those porta potties I’d be glad to come to Alaska to do that very thing. I’ll even bring the champagne to break over the doorway.

Malia…Did you really mean “dedicate” on one of the porta potties, or did you mean to say “deficate” on one of them? I think Poached Medium has the right idea!

Never mind the fact that Palin quit her job as chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation and she served as govenor from early December, 2006 through her resignation less than three years later, for a total of 20 months in office.
Americans don’t like quitters.

Thank you, Malia, for trying to follow up with Fox regarding SP’s status. It would be such a relief to not have her publicly stalking our President from her Wasilla “studio” and making her snarling, ill-informed comments.
My time does not permit me to go on at length, but I am sure all of us have noticed her truly weird studio decor. I can’t help but think the video technicians at Fox, and Roger Ailes himself could not help but notice her idea of a “professional” background for her broadcasts. I think back to her days as Mayor of Wasilla, and the expense of her office make-overs, said to include red velvet wallpaper.
Regarding the comment about Willow and Bristol and their alleged promiscuity; entirely too probable. One of my girlfriends from my younger days once confided to me that her father’s abuse of her as a child resulted in extremely sexual behavior all through her childhood and teens. She had many partners that took full advantage of her lack of bounties. I feel sad to think any of them would not pick up that she was an unhappy girl, desperate for fleeting moments when she could feel important or loved.
When those girls are in their 40′s or 50′s I expect they will have a more healthy perspective on their wretched upbringing, and we might have a book or two about this dysfunctional family that tells some grim truths.

Miss Sunshine,
My guess is that they will never publish such a book, as they seem to live in an alternate universe. If Sarah was abused, that would be tragic. However it doesn’t excuse her abuse of the country, it only explains it. When we get to be adults we have to take responsibility for our actions, even if we have a checkered past. Palin may have been abused, and may be currently the victim of Todd’s manipulative behavior and disparagement of women, but Palin should extricate herself from Todd, and quit blaming the rest of the country for the damage done to her personally.
