Sarah Palin joins Fox News
Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor, will join Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News as a political commentator and part-time host.
Palin’s candidacy for the Republican Vice-Presidential job was soured by controversy and backlash. She has hammered out a multi-year deal with the corporate news giant.
Palin’s celebrity has succeeded her embattled candidacy. She will provide political commentary and analysis to political and business news programmes and host periodic episodes of Real American Stories to debut later this year.
The appointment at the conservative Fox follows on the heels of the release of her memoir, Going Rogue, which stormed to the top of the US bestseller list in its first week in November. It carries some irony since she blamed the media for adversely affecting her 2008 Whitehouse bid.
