Excerpted from “Fox News pulls Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum off the air because of their interest in running for president; Fox News suspends the contracts of political contributors Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum because both have demonstrated that they are seriously considering running for president. A Fox News official says the channel will take the same action against Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin if they get closer to jumping into the race.” By Matea Gold, Washington Bureau, The Los Angeles Times, March 2, 2011, 9:30 a.m.
[SIZE="+2"]F[/SIZE]ox News announced Wednesday that it is suspending the contracts of political contributors Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum because both have demonstrated that they are seriously considering running for president.
Dianne Brandi, the network's executive vice president of legal and business affairs, said in an interview that the channel made the move because Gingrich aides told Fox News executives that the former House speaker is stepping up his exploration of a presidential bid. …
The question:
Does this mean Palin and Huckabee aren't running? If not, then why aren't they pulled as well?
What I'd like to know is how can Fox News be considered a credible news agency when it's very likely that most, if not all, of the serious Republican candidates next year will have at one time been on their pay role? How can they possibly be fair and balanced?

Did you read the OP???
I'd say it pretty much confirms what many already know -- that is Fox News is nothing more than a tool for the rightwing. It's not fair and balanced and it's not a real news agency (though it purports to be one).What I'd like to know is how can Fox News be considered a credible news agency when it's very likely that most, if not all, of the serious Republican candidates next year will have at one time been on their pay role?

Point of the night right there, my friend.
Didn't Obama work and train people in ACORN? Seeing he worked for them does that make acorn, a partisan organization then …. and seeing it must because he once worked for them, they are disallowed from receiving any federal money correct ?
If that is in comparison to the other posting, that might be true if he wasn't hired by ACORN as a legal consultant and if there were at least 3 others from ACORN running at the same time. Otherwise, it would be a complete non sequitur.

Her numbers are dropping, so doesn't really have a chance... It might be a waste of time and money at this point, but it doesn't look good for her at all now.
I used to think she'd run for sure, but now I think she might not... and if she does, she'll probably drop out soon. That's my prediction.

She actually called hockey moms a pitbull with lipstick. And as stated before..she really doesnt need to run for president. She has a huge influence without that role.What was it Palin called herself back in 2008? A pitbull with lipstick? Looks like that dog is all lipstick and no teeth less than 3 years later. Or as they say back in California: all show, no action.

Isn't she a hockey mom? You're playing semantics. What I see right now is a right wing that is willing to have Palin talk **** as long as she isn't in a possition of power. Seems like they're not so sure about the reality TV star's ability to actually beat Obama. All talk, no action.
I would love for her to run. But it she doesnt have to. It makes no difference to me. There are plenty of candidates I am confident about who is just as capable of running. Also ...if palin doesnt run..I guarantee she is part of the government somehow.
Now imagine how much credibility you would award ACORN if they became a news agency.Didn't Obama work and train people in ACORN?
