Timing is Everything. Palin Didn’t “leak” the Story


On Thursday, Jan. 24th I posted the notice that Fox had not renewed Sarah Palin’s contract. I explained how and from whom I confirmed the fact that she was no longer employed by Fox.

People commenting on the post confirmed that there were people talking about the post at Conservatives4Palin. When someone comes to my blog, and reads a particular article, I can tell from the information provided by WordPress, where the person came from. If it is a blog, like Conservatives4Palin , I can tell that they are coming from that blog. Not only did I get confirmation from readers like “Star” “Njfan” and “jinky”, but I could tell from the referral information that people from conservatives4palin were coming to my site. I had about 30 people reading from that blog.  Thus it was a matter of time before Sarah Palin would try to do damage control.  We predicted she would try to pretend that this was her decision.   We were not disappointed.

Yesterday, Friday, the Daily Beast reported on the departure of Palin from Fox. I was glad the news got out and the Daily Beast was one of the sources I had previously sent a link to,… on Thursday. I was disappointed that they didn’t report the original source of the information, but I was glad they were getting the word out. The funny thing is that in their report they explained:

“A friendly announcement was planned for Friday, but a source close to Palin leaked the news in the afternoon to Real Clear Politics, saying the former Alaska governor “decided not to renew the arrangement” and “remains focused on broadening her message of common-sense conservatism”

Real Clear Politics made this report:

“…Sarah Palin and FOX News have cut ties, according to a source close to the former Alaska governor.

“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.”

Bill Shine, Executive Vice President at FOX, subsequently issued a statement to the New York Times confirming the news, saying, “We have thoroughly enjoyed our association with Governor Palin. We wish her the best in her future endeavors.”

The reason timing, and method of the announcement is important is that it tells us that it was not really Palin’s decision. To suggest that a “source close to Palin leaked the news” is incorrect. The “news” was provided initially by the Fox switchboard operator, simply saying that Palin was no longer at Fox. It was AFTER that the a Palin aide “leaked” the information that Palin was not going to renew her contract. Nothing has been “leaked” about the terms of any contract she was supposedly offered at Fox. For example the alleged contract could have been that:

1. Sarah could appear on the News if she paid Fox $1,000,000 per year.

2. Sarah could continue to work for Fox, if Todd provided entertainment for Roger Ailies every Sat. night for the next year.

3. Sarah could continue to work for Fox if she wouldn’t speak, and if she promised never to wear wigs again.

4. Sarah could continue to work for Fox so long as the Alaska Film Office subsidized the show.

5. Sarah could continue to work at Fox so long as the Anchorage Police Department issued press releases before every show.

  6. Malia,
    I was checking out all the other news articles coming out about this last night, shaking my head at what I was reading. You have been on this story for so long and first brought it out. Your loyal fans give you all the credit, to hell with the rest of them! As for the statement from FOX, of course they are going to say what they did, only to cover their own tracks. They don’t have the guts to come out and make a true statement so you have to take their words with a grain of salt. As for the Palin insider, anyone can clearly see that statement was made as not to make her look bad. Once again Sarah is trying to take all the credit for doing something. The rest of the world knows what a piece of crap she is, the only ones that don’t are the Palinbots, and who needs them anyway?
    Good job with all that you have been doing, and especially for making us laugh. I especially loved the “alleged” contract. That was the best as always!

      4. Malia, It`s just like when Palin was forced out of office 7-3 09 when she made an emergency press statement that she would resign as of 7-26-09. This was one hour after Shawn had his Psych evaluation in New Hope, PA by Dr. Virginia Sherr as requested by the US Secret Service. Shawn would have a clean bill of health to testify and Sarah would have been charged with filing false reports with 3 Federal Law Enforcement Agencies, along with her family, Kristan Cole, Kris Perry, Wasilla Police Investigator RuthAnn Jostin, Claude Kilpatrick of the AST GOV Security and David Takach, PA State Trooper and FBI liason with the Allentown FBI Resident Office. Sarah`s just like any other hustler, always quitting and trying to find a new victim. Sarah and her wife Todd will not be able to quit PRISON!

        Like

      6. Malia, in answer to your question, I do not have anything in writing unfortunatly. What I do know is that Sarah knew about everything that was going on with Shawn. This was told to us by the US Capitol Police (Commander Eric Waldro & Investigators Steve Van Holstein & Matt Zimmerman). Also, we heard the news about her announcement on July 4th when we were walking out of K-Mart and seen the headlines in the newspaper. My husband called David Tacach (PA State Police liason to the FBI) at home and talked to him about it and it was confirmed by him that this was the reason. We also had conversations with the Secret Service (Joseph Conlin, 30-yr SS Vet & SA Kenneth Beauchamp) this regard. I can guarantee that in the e-mails that haven’t been released from when she was Gov, contain e-mails concerning this. In there you will also find the “missing” e-mails from Shawn that never made it through to the White House. Both Agt Conlin & Dave Tacach had spoken to AST Gov’s Security Claude Kilpatrick before Sarah left office because my husband Craig called and spoke to Kilpatrick and he was scared to death saying you have to talk to Tacach or Conlin because that is what they told him to say. On 6-26-09 Tacach visited us after dinner (he actually made an appointment first), and brought with him the e-mails that Shawn had sent to Palin’s office. The e-mails were cut and pasted and he would not give us a copy. When Shawn went to Washington DC the 2nd time and surrendered himself at the US Capitol Police headquarters, we went down and picked him up. That was the night we met the big brass as they had the entire investigative division there to meet us. (At 1:00 in the morning). They told us about the e-mails we would later see from Tacach, but they did not show them to us at that time. They told us that Shawn would not be arrested and that AZ was activated for 1 day, but decided not to charge Shawn with anything. They also told us we would be meeting the Secret Service probably in a week or two but they were not going to be charging Shawn either. They did not know what AK was going to do. The Secret Service told us when we met them that they had convinced the US Atty in AK, that it would not be in their best interest to charge Shawn. You have to love Fed’l inter-agency wars! Interesting about the psych report, there were recommendations by Dr Sherr including for Shawn to have an ankle monitor and for him to never own a gun again. Dr Sherr said that the ankle monitor was a recommendation by Agt Conlin of the Secret Service. After Sarah announced she was leaving office on 7-3-09, the Secret Service was no longer interested in Shawn following any of the recommendations. We believe, but do not have the proof yet, that his psych eval would have cleared him to testify against any charges they would have brought against SP or anyone else involved with him in ’09. In our last meeting with Agt Conlin at our house on 7-9-09, he told us the 20 threats Shawn had been coerced into making never made it to the White House. 8 were found e-mailed from our Tamaqua Library, but were re-directed, possibly by Elizabeth (Betsy) Bartko of the Anchorage FBI. She had been down at our library since March of ’09 watching Shawn while she was reporting that he was running around in Alaska per reports from Sarah and family and friends and the Wasilla Police Dept including Inv. RuthAnn Jostin. Agt Conlin told us to put in incident reports with the Tamaqua Police because Agt Bartko apparently in her reports was saying that she was in AK following Shawn. The incident report with the Tamaqua PD, is docket # 09-2314. I can send you Shawn’s psych report from his PSR and some business cards from the officials we dealt with.

  9. What bullshit – I just read the Anchorage Daily News of today and there is an article w/Palin’s photo – “Palin, Fox News part ways in amicable fashion”
    and the last paragraph of the article states “A spokeswoman for Palin referred a reporter to an article by Real Clear Politics, the website that broke the news of the split on Friday. The article quoted an anonymous source as saying that Palin had decided not to renew w/Fox, but ‘will be expanding her voice in the national discussion”.

    I’ve never in my life seen anyone lie like this bitch does…of course, Palin didn’t say it herself, so the lie cannot go directly to her.

    Think that I’ll write a “Letter to the Editor” and state that you disclosed it on Thursday and Palin did nothing more than come out and cover her ass. I wish someone from Fox would put out the real story of it being Fox that chose not to renew her contract.
