He texted right after my interview and he said, \u2018OK, watch. In 3, 2, 1 \u2026 You\u2019re gonna get canceled.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYep! I got canceled from Fox and haven\u2019t been invited back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Check out the whole interview here:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\">\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Palin didn\u2019t specify exactly what she said, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/could-kyle-rittenhouse-sue-comic-bill-burr\/\" title=\"Could Kyle Rittenhouse Sue Comic Bill Burr?\">liberal news site<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/sarah-palin-goes-on-newsmax-to-say-fox-canceled-her#:~:text=It's%20these%20corporate%2Downed%2C%20woke,her%20contract%20in%20June%202015.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Daily Beast<\/a> speculated that it might have been comments she made on May 1 on Bollings\u2019 program \u201cThe Balance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On that episode, Palin said Fox is no longer the outlet for conservatives it used to be, The Daily Beast reported, but was just one of \u201cthese corporate-owned, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sarah-palin-says-fox-news-canceled-her-after-she-spoke-her-mind-about-network-on-newsmax\/\" title=\"Sarah Palin claims Fox News 'axed' her for speaking out about the network on Newsmax.\">woke disconnected elites<\/a> who call the shots in lamestream media and they look at us as just the peons, just the subjects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The network appears to be publicly shedding its conservative image \u2014 most notoriously by the still-unexplained termination of former Fox host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tucker-carlsons-lawyers-send-aggressive-letter-fox-news-alleging-something-big\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tucker Carlson<\/a> on April 26.<\/p>\n<p>The network has been in a decline ever since \u2014 and while a television audience can be a fluctuating matter, Palin said Fox is reaping the consequences it deserves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not even economically smart, what they are doing. They\u2019re losing audience, night after night after night \u2026. People just want truth.

I have a journalism degree. I started off my career as a reporter and as a sports reporter. I know how it\u2019s supposed to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Palin knows how it\u2019s supposed to work, but she also knows first-hand how it actually does work. And thanks to her experience as GOP nominee Sen. John McCain\u2019s running mate in 2008, the rest of the country does, too.<\/p>\n<p>McCain and Palin were campaigning against then-Sen. Barack Obama and his running mate, then-Sen. Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Obama\u2019s campaign had the wind at its back throughout, powered by established news media and celebrity culture that thirsted for a historic \u201cfirst\u201d in the presidency \u2014 the first black president.<\/p>\n<p>That meant McCain and Palin had to be savaged in every way and on every front. Palin, paradoxically, a much smaller public figure than McCain, made a much bigger target, as the establishment media mocked her folksy way of talking and presumed ignorance on foreign affairs. Entertainment bastions like \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d made a virtual running joke out of her personally.<\/p>\n<p>(Actress-comedian Tina Fey was particularly scathing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i4Jk7K_DnTk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in her impersonations<\/a>. The show tried the same method with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/media-outlets-snl-baldwin-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alec Baldwin and Trump<\/a>, but didn\u2019t have the same impact.)<\/p>\n<p>So, Palin got a better-than-ringside seat for the metamorphosis of the American establishment media from simply left-leaning (as it has been since at least the end of World War II) into the dishonest propaganda machine for left-wing causes that it is today.<\/p>\n<p>After Trump\u2019s upset defeat of Democrat Hillary Clinton \u2014 the establishment media\u2019s favorite \u2014 attacking Trump and his presidency became a virtual job requirement for work in the major networks not named Fox.<\/p>\n<p>Fox is still not nearly as far gone as the rest of the media, of course \u2014 it still boasts conservative figures like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fox-news-anchor-dana-perino-reveals-health-incident-air-segment-doctor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dana Perino<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-jesse-watters-absolutely-dismantles-32-year-old-furry-wanting-children-conventions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jesse Watters<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/greg-gutfeld-gives-amazing-defense-tucker-carlson-calls-haters-hall-monitor-failures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greg Gutfeld<\/a> \u2014 but it has been losing its edge \u2014 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fox-news-gets-dethroned-powerful-position-network-held-2-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its audience share<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, as a private corporation, Fox has every right to employ \u2014 or not employ \u2014 whomever it chooses. Those who believe in common decency might assume the network would owe its viewers some degree of loyalty for years of choosing Fox over all others, but common decency has been on the decline for decades.<\/p>\n<p>That is true in politics, where partisan rage fueled by aggression from the left has turned elections from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/desantis-doubles-school-board-success-shares-photo-left-terrified\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">school boards<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/prayer-schools-soon-return-state-senate-passes-bold-new-legislation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statehouses<\/a> to the U.S. House and Senate into scorched-earth battles.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true in show business. (There\u2019s a real argument to be made that the advent of the television show \u201cAmerica\u2019s Funniest Home Videos\u201d speeded up that decline considerably \u2014 with the crassness of \u201cCandid Camera\u201d without a hint of that show\u2019s good-natured, redemptive humor.)<\/p>\n<p>And for Fox executives clearly, loyalty is a one-way street. They think they can shrug off major conservative figures like Carlson and Palin and keep the market cornered on the American conservative audience.<\/p>\n<p>But Carlson\u2019s social media program \u201cTucker on Twitter,\u201d and the growth of other conservative networks like Newsmax, show that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/experts-like-anthony-fauci-cant-fight-fires-they-are-the-fires\/\" title=\"Experts Like Anthony Fauci Can\u2019t Fight Fires, They Are the Fires\">free markets work<\/a> in television the way they work in real life.<\/p>\n<p>Customers want what they want. When they find it, they\u2019ll stick.<\/p>\n<p>As Palin pointed out, Fox is losing its audience, \u201cnight after night after night.\u201d The real question is whether the network will get it back.<\/p>\n<p>Or even wants to.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/sarah-palin-says-fox-news-canceled-spoke-mind-network-newsmax\/\">Sarah Palin Says Fox News &#8216;Canceled&#8217; Her After She Spoke Her Mind About Network on Newsmax<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarah Palin&#8217;s perspective on media bias holds weight.
