Reactions to Palin Joining Fox News
There have been the predictable reactions from the chattering class about the news that Sarah Palin signed on to be a contributor to Fox News.
Chris Matthews made the comment “She doesn’t know anything!” Get it? Chris Matthews accused someone of being ignorant; talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
I believe in the 80/20 rule in news, 80% of it is unimportant; however 80% of it is also funny and Palin’s contract with Fox and the reaction by the media is in the latter 80%.
This news has made me curious about what others in the media might have said about the Palin news story; so I checked around for the best rumors and listed them here.
You might or might not believe these rumors, but they could possibly be true.
-
Keith Olbermann; “… and she’s one of those people who promotes hate!!”
-
Campbell Brown; “But will she help their ratings?”
-
Rachel Maddow; “and notice the little sneer when she talks…”
-
Paul Krugman;”she wasted Government money on some boondoggle ….”
-
Maureen Dowd; “I think that she plagiarized some of the material in her book.”
-
Katie Couric; “Does she have the objectivity to be a news analyst?”
-
Charlie Gibson; “She needs to be alert to current events.”
-
David Brooks; “… has done good things in the past but sometimes she just doesn’t seem to get it.”
-
The New York Times Editorial Staff; “… shows muddled thinking… no attention to detail…”

Sarah Palin joining the news team was a tactical maneuver – (1) now she will be unable to run for President and (2) she created a stir. Fox News is getting a lot of press from this decision… and like all media – the drive is entertainment (because that means money).
