Looks like the rumors on the Christ Net were true! Fox has signed Sister Sarah Palin as a new contributor in a multi-year deal. I am so excited! I am glad to know that Fox continues to focus on God as opposed tot he LIEberals who focus on elitist smarts and 'facts.' That Fox News is hiring someone who 1) didn't know that Africa was a continent and not a country (according to a FOX NEWS reporter, nonetheless!!); but 2) still thought she had what it takes to run our country, shows that Fox has got what it takes to be a True Christian™ network! This is the first step to Fox taking back the White House and Congress. Shout Glory!!!

Sarah Palin to join Fox as a contributor
Commentary: Deal looks like a win for network and VP candidate
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Already entrenched as No. 1 in the cable-television news wars, Fox News Channel on Monday hired Sarah Palin as a contributor and strengthened itself further. The arrangement, reported in the New York Times, has the potential of playing out as a big win for both parties. Read blog item about Palin signing with Fox.
For Fox, the addition gives its conservative political base one more reason to tune in, as Palin is the darling of many sectors of the Republican Party. Fox has surged far ahead of rivals CNN and MSNBC so it isn't necessarily fretting about losing its sizable advantage in the ratings. But it's always good business to give the people what they want, and they can't get enough of Palin.
Palin, for her part, now has an opportunity to appear as an expert commentator on political and family issues. This enables her to stay in the public eye prior to the 2012 presidential election. Pundits have speculated that Palin, who was the Republican vice-presidential candidate in 2008, is gearing up for a run against President Obama in 2012. Palin's bestselling book, "Going Rogue," afforded her an opportunity to expound on a variety of issues while getting ample time on television news shows.
Palin will appear on Fox on a regular basis as a part of a multi-year deal. (Fox, like MarketWatch, is owned by News Corp.) Palin will not be getting her own show, the Times said, citing a person familiar with the deal, but could wind up hosting an occasional series. When Palin resigned as governor of Alaska last July, political observers suspected that she would seek exposure for her views on a TV news network. So it doesn't come as a shock to anyone that she would sign on with Fox.
Palin has been coy and noncommittal about her plans. She has enlivened the G.O.P. with her willingness to defend the right-to-life point of view -- and criticize Democrats, particularly President Obama. Further, Palin has won over conservatives who, like her, feel the national media are liberal in nature. Palin was angry about the way journalists portrayed her and her family during the 2008 election campaign and afterward.
Fox has been working aggressively to remain far ahead of its competition. Fox added tough-talking conservative Glenn Beck from Headline News, operation. Fox News did not immediately respond to a call for comment. According to the Times, Robert Barnett, Palin's attorney didn't respond to a call for comment.
