Toby Keith also unknowing participant in Palin's Fox News show
LL Cool J wasn't the only one surprised to see that he was part of Sarah Palin's upcoming Fox News program, "Real American Stories." A representative for country star Toby Keith told CNN that she too was unaware that Fox News was using an old interview of Keith's, conducted sometime in early 2009. "I had no idea Toby's interview was going to air on Sarah Palin's special. I found out after the press release went out and was contacted by a reporter asking about the show," Keith’s publicist said. "It is an old interview….I was never contacted by Fox requesting permission. I still have not heard from Fox." Calls to Fox News for comment have not been returned.

  About this blog
Our daily cheat-sheet for breaking celebrity news, Hollywood buzz and your pop-culture obsessions.  |
Did Sarah use Toby Keith's video Trailerhood? Her supporters could certainly identify with that. Speaking from a bipartisan perspective, everyone should watch Trailerhood. It is funny! And while I am invoking popular culture to try to understand the current political climate, everyone should watch Raising Arizona. Great insight into the current state of Arizona and Alaska, for that matter, can be gained into the present American mindset.
I wonder, does Palin even know. I always thought it was the producers, editors and all those ptb that determine who, what, when and how things get used and the actual person gets a memo about it all. Nice going folks trying to pin the whole of it on Palin.
Is anyone really surprised that the folks at Fox "News" would conduct themselves in a blatantly unethical manner?
I hope Americans remember this AND DO NOT VOTE FOR PALIN IF SHE EVER STANDS FOR PRESIDENCY.
And here the best part......... All of you and CNN think this is "News" Please........ get a life
Apparently none of the left-wing wackjobs that only watch CNN and MSNBC never watched the show.
Sarah Palin does not interview any of the people on the show. She is a HOST highlighting American heroes. Some of those highlighted are intereviewed LIVE. Most of the stories are voiced-over by Sarah Palin. At no time has it been protrayed that she would be interviewing the people.
Take a liberal break and watch a real news channel, FOX NEWS.
Then, get the facts...don't let the Obamamachine dictate what are the 'facts' are to you.
people aren't 'afraid' of sarah palin, they are appalled that anyone would consider mentally fit enough to want to listen to her speak, let alone run this country. she continues the lying cheating complaining whining, while doing whatever she wants ... yes, the same things to other people that she doesn't like being done to her. in short, she's a republican.
no, sambo, we are NOT all with you.
Tom, Wow a Teabagger that can read!
Leave it to Fox to manipulate the truth and take things out of context. Like when they used footage of a large angry crowd protesting outside Congress last summer for a story on a much smaller protest outside Congress last fall. (Jon Stewart and The Daily Show had a field day with the footage.)
Unlike the rest of us who interpret the George Orwell novel "1984" as a frightful warning of what might be if evil politicians successfully manipulate the media to distort the truth and re-write history, Fox and Palin and every other right-wing propagandist think of "1984" as a How To manual.
Jeans
Check your facts. Toby Keith and LL COOL J are both Nobama supporters.
Oh, wait a minute. You liberal progressives don't need facts, you just make it up as you go along.
I studied journalism in college and this isn't right. FOX may own the rights to the footage, but this is clearly misrepresentation. What is it that she actually does? Is she just a host for a clips show? It doesn't matter that it's Sarah Palin's show. If Anderson Cooper or Katie Couric or Glenn Beck did it, it would still be wrong. Why didn't FOX News just advertise her show for what it is? If the higher-ups didn't think that was good enough, why should I?
GeeCee for President, the one and only comment that makes any sense to me on here at all.
Can anyone guess who all of the unemployed people are? Liberal progressives that blog on this website.
I can't believe there is so much energy being spewed over such a non-issue.
CNN: I do believe there is some real news out there if you look hard. Better yet, just tune into FOX NEWS to get the real news; fair and balanced.
Now, lets watch for all of the hate to come flying across the internet.
You libs make this so easy.
I'm an attorney, and whether or not Fox has the right to air the interviews entirely depends on what the agreement that was signed by the interviewee states. Considering the ability of the media to twist their reports, it is likely that Fox was only permitted to use the interviews for their original intent.
The best thing about you conservatives is your blind love for certain politicians. I hope you give Palin the nomination.
Dempseydame – Toby Keith is NOT the one who dissed The Chicks...it was the Chicks that dissed him for his song ........'the red, white & blue.
I am absolutely astounded at the level of hate in these posts. There are so few logical arguments on here, I can't take anything you say seriously.
WOW....its a good thing that we turn to such political leaders such as LL COOL J (what is a LL Cool J) and Toby Keith( Isn't he conservative though?) at a time like this......I know that our country's furture is safe with great minds like these......."You Got to be Kidding MEEEE!!!"
Maryt, Amen Sister! I don't understand how or why she has so many supporters when every time she opens her mouth something idiotic comes flying out. I wish she would take herself and her family (including the grandbaby's father) and disappear back to Alaska.
SO IT'S TRUE: REAL AMERICANS DON'T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH FOX (fauX) NEWS or SARAH PALIN and her "TEA PARTY" ZOMBIES – THANK'S LL COOL J & TOBY KEITH FOR STANDING TALL AND NOT LETTING SARAH PALIN and FAUX NEWS USE YOU AS A "FRONTS" &" TOKENS" IN ORDER TO PERPETUATE PALINS PHONEY IMAGE & LIES! SARAH PALIN and FO.X NEWS ATTEMPTED TO MISLEAD AND MANIPULATE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ONCE AGAIN! As scenes of GOP reps shouting "you lie" & "baby killer" echo inside the halls of Congress. We've stooped too a new low when "TEA PARTY" zombies begin hurling the "N" word B*CTH & F*G at elected members of congress & start making direct threats at elected public officails who supported the historic health care legislation. These and other radical statements from Republicans & conservative talk show (shiilS) like Beck, Limbaugh, Coulter & "TEA PARTY" zombie threats are drawing ideological lines that revive our worse fears and divisions! LL COOL J & TOBY KEITH! THE REAL AMERICAN PEOPLE SUPPORT YOU!
@ sambo: Did you mean: "Go, Sara, go we are all *done* with you ....
OMG I wish this woman would go away. Boycott her, boycott the show, my stupidity grows by just reading this article with her name in it.
I feel sorry for Palin because she her intelligence is so shallow..... she's so gutsy ....... she does and say things without giving it first a thought. Intelligent (or at least average) people think before they speak, but Palin talks first then later thinks, at which time the damage has already been done.
To all the peeps that say Fox news owns the rights to these clips and doesn't need to ask or use it in context. I don't want to hear any complaining when John Stewart does the same thing to Palin.....of course he doesn't need to use them out of context, she pretty much hangs herself every time she opens her trap.
Fox Noise has jimmied footage recently before:
Remember Michelle Bachmans rally reqst to stop health care reform in DC? Fox spliced footage from an Aug Tea Party rally to enlarge the crowd. The problem was her rally was in the winter & depending on the shot some trees were bare & others were lush & green. Fixed News for sure! Signs and banners were exactly in the same place from both telecasts. Fox knew the typical right viewer wouldn't notice.
Sean Hannity this week was saying John Kerry would be shocked at Barack Obama's flip flopping. He showed The President on the campaign trail saying he would draw down the Iraq troops right away. He also flipped to the President's recent visit to the troops in Afganistan where he said he supports the mission. Last time I checked Iraq and Afganistan were 2 different countries.
Perhaps if Bush paid more attention in Afganistan in 2002 thru 2004 we could have gotten Bin Ladin. He wanted to go to Iraq to clean up his daddy's leftovers and line Halliburton's coffers.
Kudos to Bill O'Reilly for stepping up for the military family and paying their legal fees( he will get it back, the appeal court decision was stupid).
I watch Fox, CNN & MSNBC for a 'Fair & Balanced' view.
Tom,
Check your facts. Toby Keith is not a Liberal. In fact, he is just about as Right Wing as they come.
SSmart...I have a damn fine woman thank you..(hows your hand doing these days??) ...and guess what else...she thinks for herself too...but maybe that novel idea is just too much for you. Tell you what SSmart, I've thought so much about what you have had to say, I'm gonna print every word you wrote and take the rest of the afternoon off and go fishing...and use your quotes for stink-bait!
Ta-Ta-For Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and Frankity... I think I love you. 🙂
Everyone should take a look at Frankity's post and ponder on it a bit.
"It's such an interesting time. So much hate in the air, so much of it on these bulletin boards. So much ignorance, so many of us acting like we're "in the know." But how do you know? Where is your information coming from? News? News is skewed and spun, no matter which source. Paper? Every single one of them has a bias. Talk radio? Oy, don't get me started.
The whole truth and nothing but the truth cannot be found anywhere. Don't pretend to know Palin, Obama, Toby Keith, or anybody else. That is simply impossible. Know yourself and be happy with that. This is just muddy water. All of this is just muddy, muddy water. But you can be a clear pool. Just sit still, get quiet, and breathe.
Blessings on us all."
SSmart, okeedokee, here's the deal, when you can invent a better mouse-trap and put, oh lets say, a couple of thousand people to work in your factory, then guess what...you get a tax break too...see, all's fair SSmart...how many mice you catch today SSmart?
SPECIFICS street smart......you are not making any sense...your talking like a true liberal...responses that are broad and general....I know there were jobs shipped oversease...but you can't give any specifics.....oh and if you could tell me why that would would be great as well........help me Im uneducated...oh and can't think for myself....
Hey, Tom! Why don't we just go with Michael Steele and the rest of you lost right-wing souls to a lesbian bondage strip bar, talk about FAMILY(eh, hem) VALUES and HUG IT OUT.
Hey Tom,
Toby isn't a liberal and alot is spelled a lot. Might want to spell check prior to calling people stupid... just sayin'.
Im empty headed JACK but I win Round 1. What does that say about you? What are you doing playing with dolls. Get a woman instead, and get rid of all that pent up anger
ok GOT TO BE KIDDING-–they got one for shipping US jobs overseas. Hey do you think that contributed to the unemployment in the US. Better looki t us in your US News mag. God forbid you should ever think for your self
OK, SSmart, you win round #1...what's your address so I can send you my Hulk Hogan action figure collection to you...but warning, there just dolls..empty-headed...like you.
dont worry jack its just the after shock of 8 years of Dubya. it got on everybody. everybody but his rich friends. its all part of that real world you are unbable to see
SSmart: Can you give me SPECIFIC tax breaks that all the Big Bussiness recieved. Plase reference at least one company and certain tax break they recieved....or did The New York Times just have a headline like..."Republicans Gave All tax Breaks to Big Bussiness."....
jb...better duck...the BS is flying like shrapnel...
and you jb are not. thats why you vote GOP. sad
sorry jack welcome to the real world
he is after all....only street smart
rasslin's not real....???? Dang it, SSmart, you're just busting one bubble after another.
GOT TO BE KIDDING ME-–Youve got it all wrong. Youre not poor white trash because you support liberals, youre poor white trash because Dubya gave all the tax breaks to Big Bu$iness. Qiit listening to Drugs Windbaugh. Hes already come out and said that no one should take anything he says seriously because he is just an ENTERTAINER. Next thing youll be saying is that wrestling is real. Palin 2012
i bet street smart comes back with jack jack jack
SSMart...you gotta be kidding me?? Since when is Penn / Clooney etc suddenly patriots? They have their right to speak same as you and I, and I will defend their right as much as I would defend yours..but when they, and anyone else, including Toby Keith or ANYONE ELSE, use their platform of fame and money to put down a country that allows them that same platform, it's a double-standard.
SSmart, Hannity is of no relation to me...I don't need him, nor anyone else, to do my thinking for me...who does yours?
Working Americans , work harder because million on welfare depend on you !
And behind every Obama is a straw hut in Kenya...
JB JB JB JB it took a Dubya to get Obama just like it took a Bu$h senior to get Clinton. 2 Dem Pres who actually gave a damn about the middle class. Dont like the way things are? Dont blame I NEVER voted for either Bu$h. Any landscaper will tell you, "Underneath any bush there is always mounds of dirt". You think the GOP give a damn about you? LMFAO
Got be kidding me !!! Right on !!!
Cree:
"You" Got to be kidding me...undereducated..white folk...seriously...find me one liberal that can make an arguement that is based on "facts" that you read from a book and not what you read from US magazine....I am used to be a farmer with a pitchfork and proud of it....guess I'm just poor white trash....however I am the poor white trash that still picks up the slack for all you liberals....looking for your next handout.....hard work is what makes this county run...not giving to those who believe they are "owed" something.....
For all you folks that compare Obama to a savior or a god....quick fact...jesus and god could build a cabinet unlike the cabinet Obama is still trying to build
JACK since when has any of the people you mentioned put down America? Sounds like you get your info from Sean the Redneck Hannitty the Great UnAmerican FIXed NEWS commentator. Sad
We all know that Palin and Fox are the mouthpieces of the right-wing of the republican party. Unbaised, BULL
I guess change is true, as it took a carter to get a reagan, so maybe it'll take an obama to get someone else as fitting as reagan...but hey dont blame me...I voted for the American candidate last election
"Wow. I didn't think so many left wing liberal nut jobs could actually read and write let alone use a computer."
Hey Tom,
Did you mean the right wing and the tea party can not read and write? If yes, you are correct! Hint #1 Bush and Hint #2 Palin.
This show is getting si much press bcoz of thsi snafu. This might just be the master plan to get the buzz going. WHose at fault? As long as it meets the bottomline, who cares! Makes one question the credibility of the entire thing, including the Palin brand. $$$ is the main concern for everyone involved in this project. For shame!
I guess you are riding Pelosi's coat tail too street smart ! Wow how long did it take you to come up with the X...at least you are think unlike most of the Obamanation...Always remember some village in Kenya is missing an idiot.
JB JB JB JB JB--FOX NEWS = Facist Obnoxious Xtrmist NEWs
A fake interview by a fake news commentator on a fake news station. Imagine that. I HOPE even the most obtuse of people can see the irony.
CNN = Communist Nation Network
Fox News Unfair and Unbalanced.
And you think Obama is any better ?! get real !
Bob Dog...who's your Daddy...Sean 'The Red' Penn???? Geez, no one gets it, do they? The reason you can sit here and say what you think, when you want to, is that this is America...and you are blessed to have that priviledge...every time I hear Penn, Clooney and the rest of the Hollywood elite (barf, gag)..all I need to say is get your ass on the first mode of transportation you can and get th hell out of the country I love
Happy Friday everyone....play nice!!
to be quite honest, i AM scared of all you palin supporters. because that means the brainless sheeple are coming together and unfortunately your votes DO count. you all seriously think this is a good idea to promote this beeyotch and it scares me that you could have the power to put her into the highest office in the land. she is completely 100% unfit to hold any further political offices, not that she was the best person for the governor spot either, but at least she intelligently ran away from that job.
@Bridget- so plaigerism is okay no matter if a politician or a "news" company does it... and i suppose you do your kids homework and let them turn it in for the credit. Palin is taking interviews someone else did and PRETENDING that she is the one that did it from the begining and yeah fox owns the interviews but they don't have the right to let someone else take credit for someone else's work
Obama is without a doubt the worst president ever ! I am unbiased in the whole republican and democratic thing, as I only want a leader that represents the people and the best interest of the people. But I honestly can say he is the worst ever.
Guess what? The Gorilla from Wasilia is loose again!!!
Toby needs to get "unsurprised in a hurry." Palin's wacked out right wingers probably make up the core of Keith's "boot in their ass" fan club. Palin and Keith are both making fortunes off these idiots.
and on second thought...we're all so lucky to have 'BFD' Biden as #2...??? what an embarrassment he is....It's not the left.....nor is it the right....it's what's in the middle that counts, thats WTP and WTP are tired of being ignored...and neither party is paying attention to that...I've voted for the last 30 years and never once have voted along party lines...to do so is like asking a hungry dog to guard your hamburger...
I can't help but wonder if this isn't Fox's way of paying Sarah Palin without her having to actually work for the money. If they just gave her the money straight out, it would be subject to campaign finance laws. This way, they can just hand it to her under the pretense of her "producing" this show - which is evidently just repackaged interviews from the past.
Poor Sarah...she should find a true "American" to hi-lite on her show...say...Natalie Maines...better yet, 'Gnat' Maines and Toby in a cage-fight....geez folks, lighten-up....there's enuff idiots on both sides of the political spectrum...Fox News is just as overboard as CNN/MSNBC...they think, we can't think...and the more that each of you bashes the other about such, it just proves them all correct. WTP (We The People) are smarter than that aren't we?...do we need Rupert, Palin, the 'Hard-Ball" idiot and Out-rage-ous O'Rielly making our minds up for us...think people....and vote...vote, vote, vote!!
CM Mom you're a pinhead, she's not a quitter or she'd be home with her kids?! She quit. SIMPLE AS THAT! she was elected governor and couldnt hack it and resigned. If she did it to take care of her family and if she WERE home, id respect her decision a whole lot more. But she quit so she can be in the media she cricizes so much as much as possible. she'd be the best president ever? give me a break, not even Bush went as far as writing cheat notes on his palm!!! Please, I sincerely hope she DOES get the nomination for 2012, to see her in a debate up against Obama would be total carnage!!! But I have more faith in the Republican party than that though...
Frankity, are you for real? Sarah Palin is often found making a fool of herself in front of the camera. It's not the news that tells us what a moron she is! it's sarah herself. Scroll up for some of her AWESOME quotes...
Sarah rules. You go girl.
You know the world has gone mad when a bunch of wingers start calling Toby Keith a liberal.
Really? What a strange world you choose to live in...
Send this white-trash redneck ($arah) deep into the Arctic Ocean, never to be heard from again.
Dee:
Republicans=undereducated, white (although not all) voters in rural areas = farmers with pitchforks = AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN 1776.
AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN 1776 = podium you stand on to spout off.
If she is so "stupid" and everyone hates her so much, why is Fox news have the highest ratings of any other news network? Are the majority of Americans stupid too? Maybe you guys should think about moving to Europe so we won't have to fight Socialism in the United States. Now, I would be willing to help pay for that!
Another Palin "controversy" - just one more reason I can Thank God she is not sitting in the #2 spot in my WH! I tried to watch this show and had to drop out after about 10 minutes - her empassioned discussion about people fleeing their country in boats leaving all their possessions behind to come to land where they were not ruled by tyranny and were free to make a new life for themselves and their families .... was all in the 'past' and excluded the thousands of Cubans and Haitians that have done just that in the last 40 years. Of course they are reverred as true "American" immigrants are they?
While you Palin-hating morons are out, don't visit these extra seven States the US had and we didn't know till BHO came to Washington to tell us about them, in Austrian; and that the HC Bill will save 3,000% to employers. And stay away from overpopulated islands, because they may tip over and capsize. These are the new brilliant leaders of this Nation, all elected, appointed, and awarded trophies and Nobel prices by affirmative action.
The Commies' News Network is always here to explain and support all this, with their Pravda-like propaganda for those same morons with PDS.
It's such an interesting time. So much hate in the air, so much of it on these bulletin boards. So much ignorance, so many of us acting like we're "in the know." But how do you know? Where is your information coming from? News? News is skewed and spun, no matter which source. Paper? Every single one of them has a bias. Talk radio? Oy, don't get me started.

Blessings on us all.
No Susie. Not all the people are watching.
Turn your TV off, and you won't have anything to worry about. You still don't get it, do you? You cut out the things that do you harm; carbs, sugar, coffee, starches, etc., but you keep right on taking in the most dangerous thing of all...television. It's destroying all that we are at an alarming rate. Get your news online, and get off...quick.
If you don't like the news, stop watching it. We stopped years ago, and our lives have improved dramatically. Without viewers, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and all these other greed-mongers cannot survive. You can't even see the forest for the trees. TV is passe. It's time to start thinking for ourselves again.
He's a duface, she's a politician. Both are self promoting. She has the capability to do much more harm than good. He at least just makes cheezy music. I'd like to forget them both, but she's not going away it seems.
This is the longest thread I have ever seen., for the most insignificant and ridiculous article in the news. America...you need an enema. Palin is passe, so let it go and get a life, you nit-picking idiots. Just look at yourselves. Happy Easter.
Paul Yuhas i love how you think of her as a dog... have fun with your corporate owned puppy
I liked Palin when she first arrived on the scene. Looked like we were getting someone who wasn't into playing politics, but turns out not to be the case. Sure you have to play hardball when you live in politics, but not acknowledgeing what is well done and just criticizing constantly is playing politics and disorting the truth and not moving issus forward. Whether you like Health Care Reform or not a lot of people are going to get care when they didn't before. Americans helping other people and taking care of its own is what America is about.
Saw the show last night for the first time. I think she;s GREAT !!! at least all the people are watching.....
joke news is at it again, ether they are blind, or stupid.
My personal opinion of Palin isn't a particularly high one. She quit on the people that elected her to be their governor and I think she's kind of a bimbo. But say what you will, she keeps landing on her feet and sure does get people riled up. I'm guessing she's having the last laugh.
Can someone get Jennifer some smelling salts? 🙂
Palin makes the village idiot look like the Dean of Harvard.
Faux News has announced it is giving free flat screen tv's with all double wide trailer purchases in an effort to gain more viewers.
Sounds like.., someone doesn't know what they are doing. Mike in Montana
Tom – you said " this blog is like arguing with idiots" You may be right. But don't forget, only an idiot would argue with another idiot.
You people are so ignorant. She is a HOST of a show – she's introducing interviews, it doesn't say anything about her conducting interviews with these people. She's no different than Stone Phillips was on Dateline or Hugh Downs on 20/20. Try letting go of your hatred for 2 minutes and use a little common sense. I've never in my life seen people so out to get someone and you liberal freaks are out to get her. You have more tolerance for dictators and tax evadors than you do for her! She is a good person and has been very successfull and productive in her life. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for the horrible things you say. It's revolting and you make me sick.
I don't get any of you Palin bashers. It is as simple as this...Fox doesn't need permission, Sarah Palin's book was and is a best seller for a reason, Quit thinking of Tina Fey you idiots, Palin would be a great, if not one of the greatest presidents due to the fact that she is real, she has lived in the REAL world with a real job, a real husband, and real children, that like most kids doesn't always make the best decisions at the time. She has a way of getting our nation back to the USA we all can be proud of and not trillions of dollars in debt...and NO, Obama you can quit saying it was because of Bush. I am 100% for her and will gladly campaign for her. She is not a quitter or she would be laying around in Alaska playing with her children and grandson.
And, by the way...how is Obama working out for all you supporters?
And, one last simple fact is that if you don't like her change your channel you freaks! They have remote control now and with a click of a button you can be on your Obama lovin' channel...CNN and Joy Behar will gladly answer all your questions and comments with the vast knowledge of what her weird questionable brain can hold.
Another quick thought...has Obama pulled Pelosi out of his butt yet? Has Biden made any sense at all since the day he was sworn in? I think not and I am sad to say Hillary would do better than all three combined until Palin can finally step in and do what is right. I can't wait to see her and visit Alaska because I can quarantee that it will be nothing like Washington D.C. right now with all the crooked methods Obama is using to meet his own WICKED agenda. I believe with him, that we are headed straight to being a communist country with a dictator and he thinks he is the man for the job.
My goodness, so many folks commenting here sound very angry. Why can't we just agree to disagree in a manner that is civil and respective of one another? All the vitriol and invectives just separate us from one another, dividing our nation even more. Our "enemies" are in our respective mirrors...
I believe there is a defect in some human minds that drive them to particular sites or blogs. For instance, this website tends to draw people who are extremely hateful, angry and intolerant, yet tend to mask or compensate these traits by claiming to be compassionate or progressive. Step away from the hate and intolerance, and look at the story objectively. Palin likely had absolutely nothing to do with this promo piece, and very likely the top management at Fox had no knowledge of it either. The person to blame is likely an independent producer paid t o put the promo together. Yet look at all these hateful posts!
This is typical of Fox News. As long as they cont. to spew out the message for the GOP and put down the current administration they don't care on who's feet they step on.
TOM: The reason why it is so underhanded is that the show and many pundits promoted the particpants as "Sarah's guests". In fact, before it aired a popular conservative blogger said liberals will be "shocked to find the alleged Grand Dragon of the tea-party movement making chitchat with a hip-hop legend." While the show itself was wonderful, it certainly made it appear as though Sarah Palin met the participants, and the fact that certain famous people would choose her to tell their "story" indicates that they support her in some way. The show itself was great, but Palin was clearly using it to promote her political career. Palin has the right of free speech, but the participants also have the right to choose how their images are used.
well said "spazzbot"....
Uhh guys...do you really suppose Fox didn't foresee the backlash that would come from using interviews with folks who would vocalize their non-support for Palin? Do you suppose that controversy is the most effective, free advertising available. If CNN isn't chargingFox for running this story, they should. Truth be told they probably have some kind of barter system where Fox will run an article next week about how Rachel Maddow ate a fetus on air. And speaking of advertising, who do you suppose they are catering to...all the folks on this post ranting about the unfit Mom on Faux News. I'll bet half of Keith Olbermann's audience are members of the Hutaree and half of Rush Limbaugh's audience are card carrying members of NOW. News personalities are like the bad guy pro-wrestlers who people tune in to watch because they hate them and FOX and MSNBC and CNN are like Vince McMahon taking an occasional chair to the head to stir up hype.
Stevie, check your facts....Toby Keith is not a Repub.
This is how Palin and Fox operate.
I am *not* surprised, but still you have to wonder what underhanded, sneaky thing they will think up next.
The war profiteer Toby Keith is suprised someone is making money off his efforts? She must have taken a page out of your book, Toby. This is the same jerk who does "free" shows for the USO then sees to it the BX/PX/NEX shelves are well stocked with his CD's with false patriotic songs about the war. Such a giver, he is.
Well...actually....laurier dor, you are the "stupidest, dumbest" woman in America. Apparently you have not attended grammer school to know that "stupidest" is not a word and cannot write a complete sentence.
You people are morons. Did any of you even watch the show? It's not a show about politics. It's just stories about people that are patriotic or otherwise considered "heroes." There are no interviews, ...just clips of people talking about what they do. If you don't like Sarah Palin, then why do you even read these stories? Just ignore them. Get over it and shut up already.
"what a supid sob.....I will never buy another one of his albums if he is indeed a support of the unfit mon Palin"
*Whoooosh!
beleive it or not sara palin is the stupidest and dumbest politician women in america.gorv position in the main land is over for her unless she goes back to alaska .
Hmmmm – wonder what crappy thing FOX news will say about Toby now, like they did with LL Cool J.
Now wait a minute folks. Doesn't an interview conducted by ANY news organization belong to THAT organization and therefore does not have ot request permission to use it? Doesn't an individual that is being interviewed sign a release? Some may argue that the show is a political tool and I may say that as well, but I actually thought the show was pretty good.. Curiosity got the best of me. Thing about Palin that many people will not admit is that she is making people think about what is going on, I have to give her credit for that. She has gotten much better in national politics, but I wouldn't vote for her mainly because there is so much hatred for her in Washington that she could not get anything done, just like the problems she had in Alaska when her critics dug to find anything they could to get her out (and it worked).
Actually, I think Palin has officially alienated too many people to make it as a tv host. Too bad, I was hoping she'd get a job and keep it this time.
@ Tom...One of the major problems in this country is that so many people have so many "opinions" that are based on faulty or half true information. You assume that because LL Cool J and Toby Keith are in show business that they MUST be liberal. Well, I hate to burst your bubble but they are both card carrying Republicans, along with a slew of popular celebs like Angie Harmon, Meatloaf and Kelsey Grammer, just to name a few. These guys are not saying anything bad about Palin, they are only saying that they had no knowledge that their interviews were being utilized. I see no harm or malfeasance in this.
Sarah Palin is damaging the Republican party. She is a loose cannon that is only interested in her own fame and fortune. She is so transparent that it is simply amazing that anyone with two brain cells should be able to see it. She should get out of politics and embrace show business as it suits her much better.
Palin is a celebrity now. I think they criticized Obama for that. Would you vote for a reality show host? Even if you love Palin, you can't tell me her voice doesn't make you want to tear out your ears!
Sarah Palin is cool. The republicans are cool. Obama is so regressive.
If Fox really had the legal rights to use these clips without worry, they would not had pulled the one of LL or felt the need to make a statement. They would not have cared. Sorry foxtrotters and Palin Pushers but this is a foul and you know it. Fox has been caught and called out so they should just own it and not try to make those entertainers look bad. I loved the part about LL not wanting to be a part of history. He has his history and it has nothing to do with Scarah Walin Palin. BUSTED
Seriously, why are they allowed to call themselves FOX "News"? I think the FCC should step in and make them change their network name to "FOX Entertainment and Opinion Channel". At least that would be a fair and balanced description of what their channel provides.
I don't think this is a Republican or Democrat thing..they both have their moments. Its just that it is so clear that Palin is out for herself.It is frightening that she backs the TEA PARTY as they are cruel and uncivilized in their comments and her appearance with them only clarifys it is all about her. She was obscure and the only folks who suffered then was ALASKA.Now ,thanks to McCAIN , she is in our face almost every day.I am so tired of people who have nothing to offer like this woman and KATE GOSSELIN. The fact that TLC is giving PALIN a show only shows that they are a network that should not be watched. Those who dislike PALIN, don't watch her show.
Whether you like her or not, doesn't really matter in this case... this show is nothing more than inane if Palin is not conducting her own interviews. Great, the show is to promote people rising from adversity, or whatever... Well, if the interviews had already been made wouldn't we all be able to find this info somewhere else on the web if we REALLY wanted to know/cared? She's just riding on the coat tails of better interviewers... again, pointless.
Oh, come on Toby. You're a hard core republican. You should be thrilled that the new GOP leader Sarah Palin is using your interview.
A perfect example of how real Sarah Palin is. And how newless Fox News is.
Both prime examples of success due to gullible Americans. Add the that the scandal about to brew over wh Hannity's charity and maybe Fox will go away and take her with them.
And Smell A I have watched Fox and they lie out both of their faces. and they don't care it is made up lies. Just like Sarah.
And got to I don't work for the government and never have I just have a brain and can spot frauds a mile away and Fox is fraud and so is Palin.
FOX News and their imaginary friends?
It's interesting to see the venomous comments flying from both sides. Why? Isn't it good enough to respect the others opinion and just say something like, "That's interesting." regarding the article? Or are we so polarized that it's impossible to see past the noses on our faces?
Sarah: like George Bush, without the brain power of course.
I love all these comments by people who have never watched FOX News and who can tell somebody's whole life story from a 15 second news bite.
Im guessing that most of the liberal comments on here are those from whom work for the government in some manner...hmmm...54% of people employed in the US is by the governement...wonder who is picking up of most of the tax burden for the rest of the country...oh..I know small businesses....and as for what the Amercian Peole want....well see this november...what they really want....and its not OBAMACARE......try working hard for what you want and not expect things to be handed to you.......
If the American people EVER let her run for president, how much of what she says could be believed. Maybe she'll run a campaign of old clips from her stint as Gov. of Alaska. Or maybe as a lame running mate. Get a life, Sarah and stay out of ours.
yes Faux news owns the rights to the previous clips which could have been endorsing a different republican for all we know. The point is neither of these guys care for Sarah Palin and under copy right laws they DO have a say in how their images are used regardless of who owns the video itself. If I were either of these guys I wouldn't want my image associated with a person who is a quitter, liar and supporter of violence in our society.
I would think that these interviews would fall under the "Public Domain" laws. If so, she doesn't need the get thier permission. That's why news agencies continually use old interviews.
So....what's the point of this new show if all Palin is doing is compiling old interviews together and sticking her name on it....? Seems kind of pointless.
Speaking of lies, where's all this change I kept hearing about?? Where I live, there are no jobs, people are going more and more into poverty, the nation just racked up ANOTHER debt, people are still losing their homes. But don't worry, I live in a rural area, as long as the cities are OK that's all that matters....screw the honest blue collar types that don't live there.
tam she never said that...tina fey did. She DID say you can see russia from alaska. and yes you CAN actually see Russia from a small area in Alaska...that is straight from a cnn story.
She still thinks she can do what she wants... Well, She needs to stop the Rep are gonna start putting her in check.. And go back home and sit in her back yard and let us know how things are looking in Russia, Yanno, Since she can see Russia from her backyard.
megs, have you seen the show? where did you get the information she was pretending to interview Keith? Or is this just a guess?
Really people? All I've heard from liberals is, oh fox is garbage, only tells one side, right wing nut jobs...blah blah blah
Get over yourselves already! Obviously some of you are not as educated as you think, via all the spelling in grammatical errors after writing that Palin was the uneducated one....don't throw stones if you live in a glass house. Also, the left doesn't have biased news every right? Oh no, that could never happen...stop acting like your better then everyone else because your liberal, your party has the same underhand tactics and nut jobs.
Who is unsurprised that Fox is pulling this sort of stunt? Also, remember during the election when McCain/Palin couldn't keep a 'theme song'? I can't wait to see how many people *don't* line up to be on that show. Career suicide? ( "So which country can you see from *your* house, Mr. Clooney?)
For all of you who have no clue understand this.
Once an interview is granted and conducted by any news agency it then becomes the property of said news agency to use as they feel fit. So if FOX did the interview they are allowed to use and reuse it as many times as they like. Despite your desires to suppress conservative views.
It's funny how liberals talk about equality and help to the needy but they are the first ones to spew hatred and vitriol at anyone or anything they disagree with. There is a special place reserved for you when the time comes. Dress appropriately.
Yes, media has permission to run an old interview any time they want. People should know that going in. HOWEVER...to promote a new show as though Sarah Palin herself interviewed these people, is trickery.
Working for a REAL NEWS OUTLET, if we use old video, we always put "FILE" on it, so people are not confused that it is something that just happened. It is not "liberal" to do so, it is honest. That's what you should expect from a news organization.
Can't she find people on her own to interview?? How hard is that?
The best way to get rid of this type of broadcasting, is within your control.
It is not dificult to get rid of trash media.
USE THE OFF/CHANGE BUTTON ON YOUR REMOTE!!!
Palin and energy independence. Now that is an interesting topic. Lets just bulldoze Alaska, triple the amount of money given to all Alaska citizens, maybe throw in a summer home somewhere and when the oil is gone and the land is looking like a waste land, we can do what we should have done. Wind, solar, nuclear. Did anyone notice she was up to her knees in 'stuff' and the oil pipeline when she was governor?
Another thing. If she does become president, god help her vice president. EVERYTHING will be ALL his / her fault.
Fox and Palin have one thing in common. They way they see things and the way they do business. And she wants to be the leader of the free world?
LOL – Palin really ??? Shes an old has been...err....never was.
Love the slams from the Right wing Republican'ts in here. They obviously have no clue as to what the American People really think.
Toby Keith is a democrat. His song, back when the dixie chicks opened their mouths, was for the troops, not for a political party. The Chicks could not differentiate the two. But the fact remains, when a release for an interview is signed it usually DOES give the company permission to use it in any way they see fit,
You liberals are just idiots...find something better to talk about...oh i know how about creating new jobs instead of finding a way to destroy this country by reckless spending......
Good job posters...make sure you judge before you see the show or have any facts like good little liberals. Everything Republican is bad and everything Democrats is good. Keep telling yourself that and this nation will come together nicely.
FOX & cast, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Glen Beck, Shawn Hannity, Bill O'Rielly; all just pollups on America's colon.
And she (Palin) will soon be out with a statement that it was FOX news that did this – NOT her just like it wasn't her but rather McCain's people that bought all the clothes etc etc etc She will through Fox news under the bus. Good Luck FOX and congrats on hiring HER
FOX NEWS – Where Only One Side Matters!!
Go Sarah go, we'll all vote you for president because we cannot wait for another President using underhanded tactics to trick us into another war we don't need and spend all our taxes dumping money on foreigners and then you would ask "Huh-duh? Why you socialist guys want to spend so much on health-care and education?"
Go watch "Good Morning Vietnam" and listen to the interview with former VP Richard Nixon. A little editing can make you laugh or cry. Fox may own the tape of an interview with Toby Keith, but who is going sign up for interviews in the future if Fox is going to pull it years later and edit it for use in the way this is being the to Toby Keith, LL Cool J and others? I watch news programs from around the world and a lot of people would better informed if they did the same. I just keep my mouth shut to stop the laughing from being heard by others.
If this had been Catie Couric or Joy Behar you abortion lovin, hand out lookin, Granola eatin, tree huggin, other people’s money spendin cretins would have been fallin all over yourself to say how wonderful it would be. Do you ever watch anything with substance? Shows air ALL THE TIME with clips from people’s interviews without their permission. If they agree to an interview they no longer own that tape. It doesn't matter who you are and it doesn't really matter how it’s used. The show is called "Real American Stories" not "Look who is supporting me"!!! You people are truly useful idiots!!!
That's why it's called Faux News; they fabricate everything: stories, statistics, facts, history, and most noticeably, context for footage. Then they pretend it was all a big mistake and try to carry on as usual. They're like that kid in school who was a terrible liar but rarely got in trouble because their antics usually weren't heinous enough to warrant any actual punishment, but when called out on something couldn't play the martyr quickly (or dramatically) enough.
Someone buying his albums calls him stupid! All she has to do for her admirers is say stuff. She doesn't have to know anything! Good thing since niether do they. Seig Hiel, all you beer hallers...er..Tea Partiers.
This is so funny Sara Palin doesn't relate to anyone except for the good ole boys grew and Fox knows this and this is why the old interviews . Maybe she will be more comfortable with animals on her other nwe show haha
Fox is failing, Palin is failing, why would anyone take any stock in either?
Adds a whole new meaning to stealing the show.
In addition to not actually talking to people, I understand they're going to animate Palin ( much better than the avatar idea) and have Rosie O'Donnell provide the voice - only Rosie won't know it.
Look for Palin to guest host a wrestling show soon - with a special cage match vs. Levi.
According to their press release, FOX (the letters) stands for Facts Always Checked.... wait...
She must have learned all of these underhanded tricks from the Obama administration.
Another non-story from an almost bankrupt "news" outfit, the Commies' News Network, to put down Sarah Palin and attract some traffic. That's the only way to spread their propaganda to the morons that suffer from PDS.
No one is scared of Sarah Palin. She is uneducated first of all! Seconds she knows how to bend words.Maybe some of you think she is capable but I think not. BTW Obama is cleaning up her parties mess!! He's only in a year and you think he can clean up your people mess in one year!
Well said southernviper. She is now a celebrity that's all. I don't hear people blaming Oprah for endorsing Obama and the massive debt we've accrued! Guess its okay to make bad decisions or endorsements if your a Liberal but not the other way around.
She's popular because she doesn't cuss on national TV, has values that are in line with most Americans, and is a fiscal conservative.
It is understandable that the liberal left kept on putting Palin down. She is a celebrity and has her own followers with conservative values. Like they say, rascals usually throw stones at a tree with many fruits. Liberals and Obama lovers just cannot get over the fact that whatever mud they throw at Palin she still comes out successful and more popular.
It's almost funny how the new administration is now promoting "energy independence"...lol a Palin theme. Gitmo is still open...because it makes sense. Funny over time how the President has morphed into George Bush, not by will, but by necessity. Wow, and we're even less respected in the world than when ole George was President.
I guess in the end the reality of the job and the reality of the world can realign your thinking.
Neither party is perfect. Overtime they change. In fact we can all see that politicians make bold claims when they run for office and then once in...fail to act. More importantly is that there is a cultural change going on in America. It happens every decade as we as a nation grow. The pendulum swings liberal to conservative and back again as we evolve. It's a good thing. Liberals have some good ideas as well as conservatives. Sometimes we as a nation realize that some ideas have gone to far and we put the breaks on, other times we look for more change and speed it up.
I believe the growing dicontent with Congress is going to result in voter backlash. It happens and is a good thing. Change is a good thing. I think many are looking at career politicians in a new light and are going to send a few packing, from both sides. Ultimately we are their employers, and if they don't cut the mustard, see ya!
I don't hate the Tea Partiers....I encourage them...even if I support some of their views and not others. I think it is great that people are taking an interest in politics.
I think overwhelmingly the people of America want to be heard...not just used to vote people into office...and then let them do what they want.
The Republican Party is searching for it's voice and redefining its values. The Democratic Party is suffering due to a diconnect with the people and will reinvent itself eventually. Independents are probably the ones looking for that real person that is committed to the people.
Congress makes the laws and has the real legislative power. The President only has power of influence behind him. Words mean nothing without action.
So I encourage all opinions from the left and right...because somewhere in the middle we will make the majority happy and move forward.
Also I have no intention of reading her book of lies as I'm quite sure the moron had very little to do with any of it!
@Shaun your last name hannity because he'd be the only one who would make such an inane statement as you just did. As other's have said clearly you didn't read the article or the part that says they were unaware but, then again that's what fox is famous for ignoring the facts and telling other's what their opinion is. Don't hate intelligent liberals that doesn't follow rush limbaugh and hang on his ever belligerent vile. We all aren't sheep who can't think for themselves.
Right, Palin an honest person!! She's trailer trash all the way. All of you Palin lovers are as dumb as she is. You poor blind folks have nothing better to lead you so you follow a dumb one. She doesn't have the smarts to attract smart people. Fox and Palin make a great pair, no originality.
Why is he a stupid SOB? It says they were unaware! Maybe you should read it before commenting! Yeah this really says a LOT about FOX and Palin. Shame on them! You would think that this would be the one thing she would be good at since this is what she went to college for. Guess not!
For all the people who put negative comments about this, have you even seen what the show is about. I looked at the promo and the show has a bunch of people telling there stories and Palin is the host...not a reporter...not pretending to interview these people...but a host introducing the clips.
If this show was on CNN being hosted by Larry King or NBC hosted by Matt Lauder, there would be no problem...but because it is FOX with Palin as host, all of a sudden there has to be some sort of evil behind it.
LL Cool J and Toby Keith had to know that it was a FOX special...who cares who hosts the thing?
Why would keith be surprised he's backed the war criminal administration. They lie, cheat, and steal said nothing. He stole the first election and I can only assume that America was still in shock or figured they would steal it again as to why they got voted in the second time.
"If you're not with us, you're against us" why is anybody caring what palin does. Are you saying that someone will watch her.
Gessh, next you'll say she has a chance at the Presidency and that's not FUNNY!!!!!!
copt right??? I think you meant copyright. Actually a interview is the property of the organization, network, etc. who conducted it. A release is signed by the person who was interviewed, that explains ownership. People are often paid for interviews, thus selling their time. However, there is something that basically does say "fair representation" in which it is expected that a interview can not be edited, to viewed out of context. Unless, of course, proper disclaimers are presented in the show's credits, etc. Often if someone's past interview is shown, a courtesy call is given to their representation ... but not required, unless in original contract. So basically, it is not all about a copyright.
Yeah, Palin would have been a horrible Vice President especially when you consider all the great things Joe Biden has done for the country so far. LOL
Honestly Palin is very good at what she does. She's an honest American with honest opinions. I think Dems fear her because she has good values. I stopped supporting the Dems once I found out they are only in it for the money and they say they are for minorities but turn their back on them after they get their votes. After the last election we are now stuck with a party in power that cares not what the people want but only themselves. I'm changing parties and voting them out in November. There seems to be a growing wave of realism to undo the mistake of the last election. We voted for "Change", and got more of "exactly the same". I think it might be time for a fiscally responsible person to take the reins. Any Boy Scouts out there, or even a mother that struggles to make ends meet every month and actually can manage money?
Tom,
Nice comment ,(Wow. I didn't think so many left wing liberal nut jobs could actually read and write let alone use a computer.
Oh wait a minute. that's right. This is CNN: LIberal Progressive Central! That explains alot. Don't forget to go to MSNBC for more jiberish rantings.)
As I remember it the higher mental capacity also lends to a more progressive political view which is why Sarah is targeting idiots as your self. If by some chance you get Sarah as a representative in your district or God forbid President remember it your kind that would put her there. And know this she is there for her self and would due anything to strip you and anyone else of what you have of value of course in the name of God.
It is not surprising Sarah Palin would be so sneaky... that is just who she is.
What's all the hub bub, bubs? Fox did the same thing sorta when they reported on a teabag event. Showed a crowd in front of trees that were bare, went back to them and they were loaded with leaves. Summer had arrived in a blink of an eye. And the crowd multiplied. It's like Jesus and the loavesof bread and fish. It's magic man. It's magic. Even KKKlanity thanked Jon Stewart for pointing it out. Fox doesn't lie, they just make mistakes. Lots and lots of mistakes. That's why O'Reilly hates Media Matters for America. They catch all the lies, I mean mistakes, and publishes them online where people like me and others send them all over the world to everybody, who sends them on to everybody, who sends them on to everybody. That's why Becky boy is on a neutral net is evil kick. If it was censored, people like me couldn't even go to that site. I love it. Get the man, get 'em good, and stick it to him, baby. Fox can't even spell on the scroll at the bottom of their screen. I've never seen so many mistakes. And in such large yellow letters, too.
Why are all the newest programs on Fox hosted by losers from the last election?
Words of the day are "Integrity", "professionalism", "due diligence", "fact checking". FAUXNOOSE. Learn them and use them.
It's funny the lefties blast fox news and republicans....yet there are just as many whack jobs and biased medias on the liberal side too. Get over it, you are not above biased news either. Republican or Democrat, I have less and less faith that anyone in politics is actually working for the people of America anymore.
It is soo funny to see liberals blast the right... Shows truly how uninformed you really are.. I am an atheist, enviromentalist, and not loaded with a ton of cash... But PLEASE do not ever call me a liberal or democrat, you are just a bunch of individuals following the failed leadership right off a cliff.. Blaming EVERY thing on someone else, not willing to take ANY responsibility or bother with comprimise. I would rather have Palin preach to me about god than have Pelosi explain to me how a woman was a pre-existing condition before health care "reform"
To all the people leaning on the fact Toby is a democrat and that alienates him from his fans need to get a clue. First off, not everyone that listens to country music is a republican, democrat, independent, or any one thing. You are just subjecting yourself to the kind of prejudice bullcrap. Secondly, Toby Keith did an interview talking about how the democrats were less and less representing his own views. Therefore, he was leaning toward declaring as an INDEPENDENT! He's not really left or right wing....somewhere in the middle
RE: Palin's mothering abilities
To those of you who think Palin is a "wonderful mom" I say she doesn't automatically get that ovation just because she has a baby with Down Syndrome. How can she be a good mother or know anything about having a baby with Down Syndrome if she runs for the Vice Presidency after having her baby? She used and uses that baby to sell herself to be a leader in what it takes to advocate for the needs of the developmentally disabled which is alarming to those of us who do know, put in the time and have lived a life to be there and support our children with special needs. She tries to get the sympathy vote to the detriment of her little one. She hasn't been with her baby on a constant basis, the only way to learn what his needs are and even if she were, he's a baby, you can't know unless you gain some experience with your child and the systems in place to support developmentally disabled children/teens and adults in our world. It takes hours each day and involvement in your children's lives to know what their needs are and where the holes are in the system. As a parent of a grown son with Down Syndrome my opinion, which is shared by all of my friend's who also have adult children with Down Syndrome: she's clueless and a complete hypocrite. I wouldn't want her advocating for my son's needs if hell froze over. I feel sorry for her baby who is the one who loses here. He cannot be all that he is capable of if his Mommy is not available to help him get there on a daily and hourly basis.....
Well, it is up to Toby Keith and his reps to decide if Fox had the right to use the old interview on Palin's show. At least Fox is not in bed with Obama and his band of fool like CNN is (CNN = Communist News Network)
I never read this stuff but for some reason it has caught my eye. Maybe because I like Toby Keith. I have been a fan of his since his first release. I like some songs better than others but it's his choice what song he wants to sing. I try to believe that's why our troops are over seas fighting a long hard battle (choice and freedom). Not the fact that they were lied to and sent off by their boss to sacrifice their lives. I never knew that Toby was a Democrat until I watched him a few years ago on the Glenn Beck show on HLN. I must say I was suprised. I naturally thought he was a Republican since he didn't speak out against the Cowboys from Texas and Wyoming who thought GOD had put them on the earth to rule the world. And yes, I did vote republican in the election. I feel that John McCain has paid his dues to this country and if anyone is deserving to occupy the greatest home in America, it is him. Palin however, was different. When your'e in an interview and can't name a single newspaper that is written in this country, Well, I have to tell you I begin to wonder. Yes, I did watch her on TV the day that John McCain announced her as his running mate and I for one was very excited but, the more she talked, the less enthused I became. If everyone would stop making a fuss over her just maybe she might go back to Alaska and meet some of the prople she once represented. Yes, I also saw the interview of the people in Alaska would had no idea who she was. When people were shown a picture of her, they didn't know her and they had never heard her name as their governor. How ironic that we would know who she is, but people in her own state didn't have a clue. Now all of a sudden people are wanting her to represent this country in the highest office.
Folks, whether you are Republican or Democrat it's time we get back to the basics that our forefathers fought for. How "PROUD" they would be to know that we have thrown their ideas out the window and are
actually tearing this great nation apart. So sad!
Give it a break, much more important things happening in the world and under your nose then this!
Hey all you bright CNN bulbs... this made the news? What do you think of one of the most influential Democrats of all time crying foul over President Obama's handling of things? What do you think of his position to not support the President anymore? How do you feel about the sway this man holds over one of the largest voting blocks in the nation? Pretty serious development huh? Oh.. you don't know?
Sarah Palin, President. Not happening, ever!!!!!!!
Fox News remains the hallmark of journalistic integrity and accuracy. [apply sarcasm font–and bold]
Funny. Toby Keith is a Democrat. He's stated this many times in various interviews.
Please Sarah Palin is about as smart as a rock waiting to be thrown at a brick wall.Toby Keith is a not a lefty. I'm tired of hearing how Conservatives are the only true Americans or Religious zealots are the only true americans. WE ARE ALL AMERICANS. We have different varying view points about how our country should be run and how it should work for us. The issue is not listening to what you counter part has to say because your trying to get a vote. If you can't hear why Republicans have a good Idea with out worrying about the consequences for getting votes. Or why Democrats think this plan will help others to balance power. Then government has already failed. Sadly we as americans are being put at each others throats by corporate donations. People like Sarah Palin don't see this. If you can't see all of America for each and every thing that it is then your not an American that should be running an office
It is call "FOX" because it uses sly techniques and republican BS for reporting.
I wouldn't want my name smeared by association with that Alaskan broad – I'd sue her snowboots off.
It appears that Gov. Palin has become the milli-vanilli of the political pundits on Faux Mews. The Ashlee Simpson of talk-show lip sinc. And still I cannot see why there are so many tin-headed folk who will blindly support her when she's so clearly such a Marie Antoinette. Hockey Mom? Hardly. She's an opportunist and she's got some astute political charisma, but she has no heft, no real intelligence, it's all dazzle and no substance. If you want to elect a Billboard that will simply enrich herself at your expense, this girl from Wasilla is the one you want. As for me, I'd prefer people with *real* talent.
Why won't palin just pick people she can interview and make a real show? I'm sure toby keith is a supporter of the republican party and would agree to an interview if they asked him. I just don't understand why they need to use old interviews without permission.....maybe palin just does not want to put forth the effort I guess....
I agree that it's really underhanded to use carefully selected segments of old interviews to make yourself look better like Palin did. However, once you do an interview for a newspaper, television network or radio station, you don't own those words – they do. It's basically the network's intellectual property at that point and they don't have to ask you for permission.
Palin and FOX....a marriage made in sleeze.
People, people, people. It is not the Fox New Network. It is the FIXED news network.
dave,
regardless of the theme of the show the celebrities in question have felt their images were misrepresented as well. and with the ll cool j interview having been pulled (not sure from the whole show or just the ads) and toby keith's publicist saying they were not contacted, would lead to the question of whether or not fox actually owns any rights. it is misleading...
however, the amount of time that has been spent on such foolishness is truly unworthy.
enjoy your evening folks.
Palin is the worst. There is no hope for her in 2012, that is a fantasy. I couldn't believe how bad she screwed up endorsing McCain in his latest interview with FOX. He is going to lose his seat in the senate and the best idea his re- election team had was to bring in Sarah Palin. She made some off handed comment about he was one of the original Tea Partiers in Boston, thiking she was funny. And she is supposed to make him look good. His eyes about fell out of his head. Every time she opens her mouth it gets her in trouble. Maybe if she wrote "Don't Say Anything Stupid" on her hand, she might remember.
I find it HILARIOUS that someone said we should "read her book". Do you honestly think she wrote that book?? That is so funny! Wait.. was it written in crayon?? If it was then maybe I could believe she wrote it. Sarah Palin is the Courtney Love of politics. She was relevant for a minute but now we all just wait for her to say something else ridiculous and chuckle at her. She is just an embarrassment to her party and to intelligent females everywhere. I guarantee if she was ugly, no one would want to hear a word she says.
And maybe it is "legal" to use old interviews at Fox Spews.. but it certainly isn't journallisticly ethical (one second.. I can't type and laugh at the same time) to use old footage to make people think that this is current news. Of course that is par for the course over at Fox.. Glenn Beck does it all the time.
What I want to know is: will she use a teleprompter or her palm?

Everyone time she opens her mouth it gets her in trouble. Maybe if she wrote "Don't Say Anything Stupid" on her had, she might remember.
Retract your claws Tom. Toby Keith is not a left wing entertainer. See how fast you jump to conclusions? Let me now jump to one: You are another right wing idiot
I don't find the misuse of these interviews at all surprising. What I do find surprising are all of the people who still stand behind this woman. You NeoCons are just a bunch of leemigs – you will follow who ever talks the loudest and nastiest. STOP ALREADY – you have a brain try and use it. Perhaps if Ms. Palin jumps off a cliff most of you will follow her there also.
Tell me again why are we even giving Pailin a talk show? She is pathetic and I don't know why anyone will want to listen to a thing she has to say! Thank God my remote batteries are always working cause the minute I see her I change the channel. Sarah Pailin you had your fifteen minutes of fame a little too much if you ask me. Go away the only people that listen to you are just as mindless and have nothing better to do with their lives.
Oh Pat you sound as mindless as Pailin point proven!
If Sarah Palin (affectionately called Failin' Palin in earlier comments...love it) really thought LL Cool J and Toby Keith wanted to be on her show and supported her and her cause, she would have invited them to conduct new interviews rather than stealing old footage to use out of context for her own purposes. How unethical? If she can't even be an honest t.v. host, why would anyone think she would be an honest governor, senator, president or person for that matter.
Maybe Fox News producers didn't see anything unethical about implying in the promos that Keith and LL Cool J would be featured interviews, when they hadn't even contact either of them to get their agreement first.
Keith is a Republican, that is why I don't buy his music. He want squeal one bit. And stool pigeon Palin will use his FOX GOP NETWORK interview.
PS I LOVE THE DIXIE CHICKS, Arch enemy of Toby Keith.
Tom wrote: Lenny is obviouisly a liberal who doesn't belive in the freedom of speach unless it works in his favor. Double standard.
SPEACH? really?
then Tom hypocritically wrote: Lenny, learn to spell.
lol. moron.
foxnewslover – or is it fauxmewslover... none of us would ever believe everything we see on the internet... how could we? You & fauxmews are here...
so, tell me – with antics like this, why is fox still a number one rated news show?
i agree with sambo (12:36pm ET) in one regard. Sarah Palin should just go!
I gotta give it to you, cat – "At least when I listen to O'reilly & Beck, I get some good information and both sides of the story" – that remark gave me the biggest laugh of the year!
Calling Toby Keith a 'leftist' entertainer is showing someone ignorance!
You know that things are getting pretty desperate when someone refers to Toby Keith as a "left wing entertainer". The left wing part is just silly, the entertainer part is just plain wrong.
Just another example of how they have earned their sobriquet: "Faux News.
And YOU Think CNN And MSNBC, NEW YORK TIMES etc. Doesn't do THIS? GET REAL. Right now all media companies are the same and so are the Dem's and Rep's. At least when I listen to O'reilly & Beck, I get some good information and both sides of the story, not on these other media outlets. I am not even supporting Palin in what she and FOX did because that was outright wrong, but listen folks, get the whole picture and be versitile – listen to all sides on every network and don't stick all your eggs in one basket! Then be American and Make Up Your Own Mind. Read and listen more, before attacking.
You guys kill me... Can dish it out but can't take it...
Anyone who garners so much hate should seek treatment... And it's not in your commander and Chief's job description to be your moral compass. But if it has to be then use it. Pretty sure B.O. doesn't hate at least at this level...
Adjust your compass...
Toby Keith is a redneck. He will fit right in with the likes of Sarah Palin. Only retards like her anyway.
Ya. I agree with Michael. Shut up Pat.
Sarah "nutjob" Palin will do anything to make her sad and pathetic agenda known to anyone!!!
"Hey Pat? Shut up"
And childish...
So, the 1st Amendment is only a good thing when your speaking... Hmmm...
Hey Pat? Shut up.
"I depend upon my Commander and Chief to be my moral compass"
As a Soldier, I depend on myself to be my moral compass, Your weak!
Palin's at it again with the help of Fox News. I can't believe they are wasting time on this woman, she is a frickin' IDIOT!!!
I suppose her new show will be her effort at Foreign Policy as well, lol, lol, lol!
What a bunch of idiots judging something you haven't even seen...
And obviously know nothing about copyrights...
Your level of hate is beyond understanding...
Wanna know what the real problem in America is, look in the mirror...
A friend from Alaska once told us that most Alaskans already knew that the only thing Sarah Palin cares about is "Sarah Palin"
I wouldn't worry about Palin folks. She's got the shelf life of a cup of yogurt.
I was a staunch Republican prior to the wreck we now call Palin. As a soldier, I depend upon my Commander and Chief to be my moral compass. My friends, I wouldn't kill a house plant for that woman. I can't freaking believe I'm now a Democrat. What was/is the GOP thinking? This is a dangerous woman! I can no longer, not in good confidence anyway, associate myself with their party.
Does anyone here know exactly what "old" interviews Plain was/is planningto use? It's certainly not stated in this article. Does anyone know who actually did the interviews way back when? No, because it's not stated here. I would deduce the Toby Kieth interview was not originally done by Fox as Kieth's publicist said she was not contacted by Fox for permission. That's the one person in this article who is mentioned that would ahve knowlege of contractual terms.
Have all of you forgot what your Mom's and Dad's probably taught you when you were little? "You can't believe everything you hear or read". That said, here's an undeniable fact – Sarah Palin has quit MULTIPLE jobs. This is not opinion or hearsay, this is a matter of record. That said, why would anyone in their right might support/endorse a quitter as the potential leader of our country. Sarah Palin is nothing more than a side show bob. 10 years from now, when we all look back to now, she will be a nobod – because of her own penchant for quitting anything she starts.
Anyone thinking Sarah Palin herself...and not some network exec...
Thought up and pulled off this stunt...
Is an idiot.
She's Presidential-material like Angelina Jolie is spy-material (in Tomb Raider). They're both attractive actresses who role-play. And like Jolie, Palin's totally hot. That about sums up her qualities.
But she also doesn't fit the Fox News model:
– Bleach blonde
– Seated between two tools/guys
– Situated on a couch or short chair
– In a skirt to show off their legs
Maybe Fox News is expanding is trying to appeal to a larger demographic.
April Fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg!!! we're all gonna die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Tom: Toby Keith is NOT a liberal. He's been rather outspoken on multiple conservative issues/causes. He's just not a Palin supporter.
What do you expect from Palin? She's a incompetent air head with a voice worse than scratching a chalk board. She's proof the Republicans don't have a clue.
Are the 15 minutes up yet?
Is anyone suprised about this? For god's sake the woman has to write notes on her hand to remember waht she is going to say.
Yogi B-
You hurt your own cause when you say that anybody who disagrees or dislikes Obama is doing so because of racism. If anything, you're the racist for assuming the only reason that white people wouldn't like Obama is because of his skin color. If you want to hate on Obama bashers, be my guest, but stop making the rest of us look bad in the meantime.
doesnt that interview belong to fox, it was taped by fox, and he was paid by fox, that should give them the rights to use it when they want.
foxnewslover-
sorry, was typing when this came in:
Jim.
P.S. please don't believe everything you read on the internet. And let’s face it, a lot of people have the propensity to believe anything they read on the Internet, particularly if the source is “trusted” or from the “Mainstream Media”.
All I have to say is....
FINALLY! We agree!!! 😉 Though I would point out that the internet doesn't exactly have a monopoly on "trustworthy" or "fair and balanced" information.
Foxnewslover-
Have you actually SEEN the commercials on Fox News? I've never seen a station that relied so heavily on partisan political ads as they do. Clearly you miss my main point, anyway. Obviously YOU are aware of the internet and the fact that there are news sources on it. What you do NOT seem aware of, based on your trying to claim that Fox News is the #1 news source solely because of TV ratings, is that the reason right-leaning television and radio news/political opinion programming has higher viewership number than their left or (allegedly) neutral counterparts is that most of the younger (and generally more left/center leaning) crowd has abandoned TV and Radio for the internet. Why? Because on the internet we can CHOOSE which articles we think are important, instead of relying on other people to tell what is important.
Soooo, if I am getting the bigger picture... My former Gov has a new "Interview" show on Fox ( just want her to go away) HOWEVER unlike MOST interview shows she will NOT ACTUALLY do ANY interviews. Although it sounds like it will LOOK like she is doing interviews, thanks to lifted footage, from various old interviews.
Therefore, Sarah Palins show, "Real American Stories" is not REAL current nor REALly done by Sarah just MADE to appear so. Does this mean that EVEN Fox is scared of her inability?
Palin: Dangerous, deceitful, manipulative and self serving. Did anyone really expect more from this crazy b#%$h?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
You guys kill me for real! No one in here is a moron in regard Ms. Palin. We all know the truth and she is only about money. If she is such the woman that the right-wingers talk about, then why did she not finish her term??? Can you answer that? Also, no one is giving Obama the chance to do something for this country. He said before he was elected the 44th president of the USA, that it was going to get worse before it got better. But what the problem is, is that white people fear him as well. They figure a black man can't contribute to this country let alone do something to make a difference. Bottom line, white people don't want a N***A telling them what to do. And they can not except a black man being president = RACISM = FAIL!!!
Barstool Saints ROCK!!
You call someone dishonest you don't even know. You make judgements about people based on what you hear and read in the news. America is corrupt and you are part of America.

Why is she still around? What a joke she is! Dishonest is a compliment for her! Evil is more like it, "The Anti-Christ with Lipstick."
Intimidated Izzy?? Now I'm not sure who is the real nut job.......
intimidated....that is belly laughable !!!!
A lot of rhetoric and vitriol here....seems as if we are turning into the politicians we criticize so vehemently....
Same way CNN gets away with it.
Toby Keith is a pretty conservative guy. He may in fact like Sarah Palin . . . or he may not.
Jim.
P.S. please don't believe everything you read on the internet. And let’s face it, a lot of people have the propensity to believe anything they read on the Internet, particularly if the source is “trusted” or from the “Mainstream Media”.
How can Fox get away this without repercussions???
From jade: Typical right, making a drama out of nothing.
A funny thing: CNN posts a non-story with the words "Palin" and "Toby Keith" and TWO HUNDRED or more liberal types immediately create a fracas solely because.... the headline included the words "Palin" and Toby Keith".
CNN knows how to pull your strings because you guys "making a drama out of nothing" is what drives their web advertisement dollars.
Great job; keep it up. CNN loves (read: thrives on) your cluelessness.
What's the big deal? People give interviews all the time that are later used by other programs without permission. It's not like no one ever saw the interview. but in any case it happens all the time. Leave it to Communist News Network (CNN) to try to make a big deal out of it. Oh, yeah and all you libtards get to feel like the neocons when you do something that's NO BIG DEAL. America is full of idiots. At least CNN lets you make comments
This is HILARIOUS.
Wow...I read through all these comments and think... what a bunch of liberal democrats. What should I expect I am on a CNN site right? Grow up guys.
Jim. Really? the internet? Is that what I am on? Wow, thanks so much for enlightening me on how millions of folks retrieve their daily dose of news. I can't imagine why people still advertise on TV anymore since no one is watching.
So, if I'm understanding correctly, Sarah's show consists of Sarah watching old videos on TV? Sounds a lot like Beavis and Butthead to me...
Isn't Toby Keith a registered Demo?
Foxnewslover-
That's because those of us who like 'progress' have 'progressed' to getting our news from that new fangled thing they call the internet.... Enjoy your archaic form of gathering opinion. Oh, sorry, I forgot, you still pretend it's news...
That is why they call it FAUX NEWS. Sarah Palin IS the joke that keeps on giving.
Please keep doing what you are doing SP, fun to watch you make such a fool of yourself. The GOP is so out of touch...unless you count those booby touchers at the strip club.
They obviously have the right, but what the .... Sarah Palin is doing a talk show where she doesn't talk to the people they feature? Is this because when you ask her to go off script she proves what an idiot she is and she'd have to do that to talk to live people? Um, YES. How lame..........
dumb dumb dumb....the GOP should keep doing the dumb stuff they're doing and guarantee us Victory in the next election. LOL> Sarah P you're ghetto!
I didn't realize that tens of millions of people could think and behave in exactly the same way simply because they're all Democrats/liberals or Republicans/conservatives. Who knew that ALL Republicans are lunatics and have no compassion or that ALL Democrats take government handouts and are barely literate? These comments have been edifying.
Do people really have these simplistic ways of looking at the world? Some of these comments are only a small step beyond children bickering at a playground. "You're stupid!" "No, you're stupid!" "I know you are but what am I?"
Sigh.
Ok lets not bash Palin too much for wanting to make a buck. Raising a down syndrome child, that will at best only live to be 12 is expensive, expensive, expensive. Funny thing now, that the insurance companies cannot reject paying expenses for pre-existing children, she is getting her cake and eating it too. Lets be careful people who is really fooling who when it comes to this individual.

First, all of you Palin-bashers are misinformed morons. Do you know anything about Palin other than Tina Fey's portrayal? Read her book... if you can't read, there is an audio version. No, she's not a genius, but she has some pretty good ideas about repairing the health of this country and its economy and she has a proven track record to back it up.
Good luck with your continued obliviousness.
-------------------–You are the oblivious one if your taking anything in her ghost written book serious. And Fox only has exlcusive rights to an interview if that's what was agreed too, which doesn't seem likely since they pulled the LL interview.
Paul G. Hate based? You obvioulsy have never watched Matthews, Maddow or Olbermann. No wonder Obama had to go on Fox News to try and sell health care, NOBODY watches the other stations. If this was a softball game, the mercy rule would be in effect! Hey MSNBC time to start over and retire Matthews, Rick Maddow, and Blowberman! Fox reruns beat your firstruns....

Second, no one has to ask permission to air an old interview. He gave permission when the interview took place and they can run it anytime for any purpose.
Finally, if you think Nancy Grace and Joy Behar are NEWS, then no wonder you are raking Fox over the coals. You are unaware of what real news actually is.
Good luck with your continued obliviousness.

Dear Sarah,
You suck......out loud. Now go home and stay there.
Peter – I don't know anyone who "wants a free ride" and most of my family and friends are liberals. Who says people who want a free ride are democrats? That is a myth. Most people who don't want to work are not affiliated with any political party. They are just lazy. Most of the young people are the ones getting the few jobs out there because they are willing to take entry level positions with little pay. Laid off older folks have a harder time because they made more money and no one wants to hire them because of that plus their age. I have always worked, have health insurance through my job, a retirement plan and two 401k's. I think everyone should at least have the opportunity to have that. That was how America worked when Clinton was president. Bush has put our country in so much debt it is pitiful. Obama is doing what he can to fix the mess Bush and his cronies made.
some say....this is pretty bogus.
Foxnewslover
Your stats are impressive. Living proof that there are many folks living in the US with non-functional brains, spending their days watching the hate based content of Sean Hannity and crew on Fox "Noise"!
REPUBLICANS AND DUKE SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of comments on here, mostly negative towards Palin. I cannot believe Fox has to stoop so low to get their ratings up. They are the worse "news" channel on cable. They lie and lie again to back up their lies. I wouldn't believe a word any one of those talking heads say, they are biased, distort the news to create scandal, exaggerate, incite, revile, insinuate, and every other verb you can think of to "create" a controversy or scandalous story about our President, the Democrats, and anyone connected to them. We know they are run by a vicious demagogue named Rupert Murdoch who will stop at nothing to get his ratings up, and who knows what else he has to get "up". Palin's voice alone should sink any program she narrates. Talk up nails on a chalkboard!! Screech, shrill, whine. Yikes.
Actually Fox probably owns the copyright since it was their interview...although these celebrities may have a misappropriation of one's name and fame...Either way I give Palin's new show two months before it's cancelled.
dempseysdame: uh how is moron spelled?
and the rest of you numbnuts, this is pretty standard media practice, just like when they use file footage for a current story. what a bunch of dipsticks, you guys probably voted for the congressman who was worried that the island of guam would capsize if we put anymore people on it. jeez.
CNN should report the whole "news" like perhaps mention that Fox News had no limitations or restrictions on these interviews and therefore they did not require their permission????? Have you done that too CNN?? and if you have...which I'm sure it's a common practice and all networks have used prior clips without having to notify the people they interview everytime, why are u missleading your viewers?

Bubba, i was responding to someone else saying that the military leans right, that's all I meant by it.
April 1st, 2010 3:00 pm ET
J...those are a lot of assumptions which means shotty logic. Ever been on a military base? The military is traditionally right. You know what they have playing on all of their lobby TV's? Fox news.
IS THAT RAVING TWIT THAT DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION THAT SHE HAS TO REACH THAT LOW TO USE OTHER PEOPLE AND NOT LET THEM KNOW ABOUT IT. WHEN IS HER 15MINUTES OF FAME GOING TO BE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hookie, that's what's wrong with republican officials, they thing their job is simply to get elected. Yes, she won, and then betrayed all the time and money her supporters spent on her by quitting.
CRYBABY LIBS
Fux News – It's NOT news if it's OLD. Are they going to have a shot of Palin asking a question and then edit in a shot of LL Cool J and Alan Jackson answering a question, without showing both of them on the screen? One thing you can say for Fux, they know how to make money. You can take any file footage and create a whole new show around it. This is truly slimy. If Palin had any dignity, she wouldn't participate in such a sham.
what the crap is "carcoal panties"?
Palin is such a joke. And not a funny one. She is calculating and self serving. Beware of false prophets people.
Palin is the Queen of Tea Baggers, right next to that carcoal pantie wearing dumb a$$ blonde Ann Coulter. Maybe they purchase thier carcoal undies from the same Tea Bagging store? You go girls
Who the F is Toby Keith and why does anyone care, again?
I'm confused. When did Fox News become a credible news source? Palin can have or steal all the endorsements she needs, and she should definitely run for presidency, because she's a loaded gun pointed at the Republican Party. Keep reimbursing strip club visits, guys! The Democrats thank you!
I remember last year that someone from Fox news said that they were not pro right wing and not affiliated in any way to the Republican Party.
Bull *&^%$
If I'm correct Toby Keith leans a bit far more to the right than LL Cool J does so at least the network of "fair and balanced" managed to screw it up on both ends of the spectrum.
Where ya at, Liberals are swell? C'mon, don't go all Palin on me and quit halfway through this thing...
I would say more of a moderate. Also, do you know what the fairness doctrine actually does? it would eliminate all those shows. I also never said the would ban them, I said try to ban them. I haven't spoken with the FCC lately but I will give them a call to see how many calls came in yesterday against those people and get back to you. Will that work for you? I am sure they have had a few calls by know.
Stacie–When the Democrats were in power before the Bush/Cheney crazies came to town, we had a budget surplus. I know you might have a memory problem but that is a fact. Then the Bush/Cheney nutballs gave tax breaks to the wealthiest people and blew a lot of money and lives on a war based on lies. Remember that? Then after 8 years of throwing our tax dollars away, they finally were sent home.
comment back to TV Guy:
You said "shoot her"? Really? And the CNN "moderator" let this post go through. You are a pathetic jack a$$. Way to go CNN...you are such an unbiased station......not!
@Liberals are swell, again...message board calls for banning or censoring carry no weight at all. And when will Karl Rove ever stop being funny? Granted, war criminals generally aren't funny...but Rove is the rare exception and will always be a target of jokes. Nice end to your post...woobie? Why do you gotta hack material from "Mr. Mom". But serisously, your post doesn't make too much sense...did my mom find my binkie or my woobie?
Hey Joker III
Insults are more effective if they are spelled correctly....idiot.
Palin will do anything to stay in the news to keep her pipe dreams alive and make America's nightmare come true.
Dalmation20, you lied about what you wrote...sorry you can't figure that out...how many times do I have to quote you? You made a baseless claim, then when confronted, you tried (and still try) to change the subject.
As far as I go, I wouldn't say I'm a liberal...I'm pro choice...but also pro gun. I favor the death penalty, but I support the President's health care bill. I'm for a strong foreign policy, but I also want money taken from defense spending and put into education...so, what does that make me?
Well, since the moderators keep blocking my comments, I changed my name so...hopefully, I'll get on here.
Sure enjoy getting my laugh from CNN and all the crybaby libtard moonbats on here wailing and flailing amongst themselves! If Sarah Palin is {insert any of the above washed out, cliche'd, brainless insults, especially the ones involving her insignificance}, then why does she draw so much attention and so many posts w/ all the angst here???
Nothing like the whiny, rear-end clowns crying day in and day out on here for a good laugh...many thanks!
Speaking of...
@ Jason,
Here's one for you...go back to the blog from yesterday, same subject but involving LL Cool J and you will see MANY posts of liberals/lefties stating that she should be censored or no longer covered in the media, and it's reasonable to make the conclusion that many will feel the same about her show.
So, point made...point set!!! Now, quit w/ the typical leftist deflection and lame Karl Rove jokes....you guys REALLY need to come up w/ some new material.
BTW, your mommy is calling....she found your binkie, your woobie and needs to change your poopie pants!!!
As long as FOX is going to support Wailin Palin I will nit support FOX.
What is it that makes FOX think Wailin Palin is NEWS? If at all she is
bad news.
Jason,
I know what the show is about and how it is laid out. It does not pretend to be a one on one interview. It is a biographical snapshot of "Inspirational Americans". It is not a Fox version of LKL.
People are really making a mountain out of a mole hill and making as.sumptions about things they know nothing about.
It is interesting that the right confuses disgust with fear. The only ones that should fear Sarah Palin are the wolves that she enjoys shooting for sport from Helicopters. Because you KNOW Jesus, given the chance would summarily execute animals from Helicopters... ya know if he could afford it.
If the loons on the right can assemble enough nut cases to vote for Palin for President I am sure the likes of Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney wouldn't let her within 50 miles of the nuclear missle codes. Oh the loons will have their teabagging parties and all but when the uproar dies down she'll be relegeated to rolling out the first tire at NASCAR events or what ever the toothless wanna see at those things.
You want change I can believe in? Move NASCAR and hog callin' seasons to coincide with election season and we've got a whole new country on our hands folks!
Look, Fox News owns the rights to the interviews. Sarah Palin is a presenter on a new show for Fox News. The show is about highlighting the accomplishments of exceptional Americans. Since Fox News owns the rights to the interviews they are using them on the show.
If all these people who are up in arms about their interviews being used on a show – they should stop giving interviews and giving the outlets rights to use them in perpetuity.
ZOMG SARAH PALIN IS A LYING QUITTER.... SHOOT HER!!!
Now my post resembles the masses'.
This is not surprising coming form Fox.
I guess you still can't read one post below the one you are talking about, sorry to hit submit comment before finishing my statement. Don't really know what I lied about, but I can honestly say, this is the first time I have ever been called a liar about anything. I ask you a question, how liberal are you? I don't claim to be a republican, honestly I can't stand them right now, I am more of a conservitive with a few moderate tendencies, I don't like Bush but you don't care about any of this becuase your mind was made up about me when I disagreed with you. Sorry
Dalmation20, show me the evidence about Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Hannity, or Limbaugh's show ever trying to get banned by liberals.
Are you saying there have been legal attempts made to get their shows taken off the air? Are you saying that left wing politicians have tried to get them removed? Show me something, other than left wing nutters shouting they want the shows banned.
Message board calls for banning things carry about as much weight as Tea Party rallies.
Just for the record, we are not afraid of Sarah Palin, we are disgusted by her and her antics.
What I find real humourous here is how the Fox fans, think because since they have more viewers, its more accurate news. All that really means is that, people just go to where the story is told the way they like to hear it. So there is only one option for the right extreme. the other optinos are more for the left side. Furthermore considering the population of the US, it pretty much says, most people arent watching. Why? They realize its a bunch of bias entertainment propaganda designed to turn a buck, and arent interested. A number of those who do watch, are just out to see how backwards and gulliable either side is to this stuff. And boys and girls there are a lot of suckers out there on both sides.
And this surprises anyone because?????
J, the military doesn't lean either way. Some individuals have political leanings, but their first loyalty is to flag and country. The president is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Services. Opine all you want, but don't start telling me this is a right-wing banana republic where the military is about to unseat the president and install a ruling junta of generals. I know too many servicemen to think this is true.
Dave, you really believe that? You think Palin really has a vested interest in these old interviews? Or, is she simply grabbing any and all media time she can? It's misleading to package a show around Palin and fill it with nothing she contributed to.
Dalmation20, say what you want about me...but I caught you in a lie. You said, and I quote, "if liberals don't like a show they try to ban it.". I asked for evidence of that and you changed the subject...how Republican of you.
You were caught lying, trying to make a point with no evidence to back it up. Then when you were caught lying, you said you were trying to express yourself. Change the subject all you want, you still lied to make a point. That makes you a liar. Simple. Until you can defend your original statement, you are nothing else. Call me what you will, you got caught red handed. Nice try, Karl.
Jason, it is not dishonest either. They are not pretending that Sarah did the interview. They are not saying it was an interview done specifically for Sarah's show.
the show is a biographical snapshot. That means they are going to use historical information including old interviews, footage, etc.
the only reason people are getting bent out of shape is because it is Fox and Palin doing it. Larry King does it. Anderson Cooper does it. everyone does it.
Wonder who else she'll "interview"? Ronald Reagan? Margaret Thatcher? Jesus?
I make things up yet you still wont respond to the shows liberal have been trying to take off the air for years. I will repost it incase you ignored it because it was the truth: how about Glenn Beck's show, Bill O'Reilly's, Hannity's, Rush's, should I go on?
Ima republican and a woman and I will never back Sarah for Commander in Chief, WTH?? She quit the last executive job she had. She just is doing too much. What would we want her for president? So the teen pregnancy rate can go up??? She so focus on making money she is driven away her former supporters... Also, I hate Fox news!
Is it just me, or does anyone else find hilarious the posts claiming that people are 'terrified' of Palin? I mean, I WAS terrified when she was potentially one septuagenarian heart stoppage away from actually being the most powerful political figure in the world... But now? HAHAHAHAHAHA! People fear things that they think can hurt them. The comical? We laugh at that. But hey, seriously, I understand. Any psychologist will tell you that's it perfectly normal for people who love things nobody else does to find any rationalization their brain will accept to explain why THEY are right and EVERYONE ELSE is wrong... I know, deep down, it really, really hurts you to see someone you idolize mocked by millions. After all, what's that say about you?
"Real American Stories" ? "Old American Stories" ? 'Fake American Stories" ? what's this story all about?
Dave, packaging a show with old interviews and promoting Sarah Palin as the host is not dishonest, per se...but it is misleading. FOX is trying to give Caribou Barbie all the face time they can so she will still be relevant in 2012.
Think of it like this, ever see a famous female celebrity on the cover of Playboy, but inside it's only an interview with her...not a pictorial. That's misleading, they get you to buy the magazine because they hope you will believe that female is nude inside.
This FOX thing is the same old trick...show a bunch of interviews with celebs, put Palin on the front, and by association Palin is kept relevant.
Rob,
"Networks do re-use old programs all the time, and we never hear any controversy about it. Why? Because they go through proper channels to get it cleared for re-broadcast, that's why."
Fox owns the copyright for the interview. They are the proper channels. They do not have to get permission from LL, Toby, etc.
I like how people confuse opinion shows and news shows. Jason must get that tingly feeling every time he sees Chris Matthews or Keith Obermans "NEWS" shows, sorry opinion shows. I am not a mouth piece for Fox news nor any other channel, but apparently liberals know me better than I know myself.
Mike,
"To think that you can use images of people without their permission "
Fox owns the copyright for the interviews and can use them without the interviewee's permission.
Sounds like Palin is applying the same work ethic, intelligence and follow-through to her TV show that she did to being Governor.
This is basic stuff that anybody should know. You don't re-run an old interview without getting permission, or licensing it somehow. The sheer incompetence of this woman is astounding.
Networks do re-use old programs all the time, and we never hear any controversy about it. Why? Because they go through proper channels to get it cleared for re-broadcast, that's why.
To think that, even now, there are people who would put this woman in charge of the most powerful country on Earth boggles the mind!
.
foxnews a.k.a stoop lower.
what more people associate with it.
Palin is so desperate for cheap publicity look like it.
Who would want to hear anything Toby Kieth has to say anyway??
Who would want to hear anything Toby Kieth has to say anyway!!!
C'mon Dalmation20, you said I don't know anything about you...let's see...you're conservative, you admit that in your post above. You don't like liberals, you can tell from you condescending post above. You make things up to prove your point, then when called upon for evidence, you change the story. I think I know you pretty well, you are Karl Rove.
Another victim of Fox’s excellent style of journalism
Doug,
"Obviously Palin can't get anyone to interview so faux news pulls out archived interviews and represents them as current. "
Incorrect. Since she is doing a boigraphical snapshot of the people, old interviews, footage, etc are used to tell the story. The interviews are not passed off as current nor are they passed off as if Palin did them.
To think that you can use images of people without their permission only adds to the perception that Sarah is not very smart.
I don't know who's worse Sarah Palin or FOX "NEWS"! Sarah Palin is a no body and will forever be a no body! Her kids "baby daddy" has more pull than she does!
Wow the clue less are out in droves!
Obviously Palin can't get anyone to interview so faux news pulls out archived interviews and represents them as current. How very sad?
As to the interviews, whether fox owns them or not. The simple fact is they are falsely representing the interviews, just like the village idiot falsely used the intel he was given.
As a republican I can't understand how ANYONE can watch fox news and still call it news.
Dalmation20, there's a difference between "expression" in a statement and lying your teeth out. And I quote..."if liberals don't like a show they try to ban it."...how is that an expression? Sorry, you got caught playing your favorite game "I wanna be a FOX mouth piece".
Networks re-use old interviews all the time. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc. all do it.
And technically the network owns copyright of the interview unless there was a special agreement before hand and therefore can do what they want with it.
The big outrage is that Fox and Palin are doing it. If it were CNN and Anderson Cooper or Christiana Amanpour, no one would even blink about it.
how about Glenn Beck's show, Bill O'Reilly's, Hannity's, Rush's, should I go on?
Wow, I was called a right wing nut job for stating my opinion on something from a person who knows nothing about me. Do you work for the DHS? Just checking. I was going more towards an expression with my statement, but the fairness docterine comes to mind.
Aren't her 15 minutes of fame just about up?
okay..AGAIN...FOX IS DOING NOTHING WRONG. CNN, MSNBC, everyone does this. They use old interviews, footage etc. in current shows. It is extremely common. The only reason this is even mentioned is because Palin is hosting the show. There is nothing misleading about it. If your going to Harp of FOX and Palin, are you going to harp on CNN and Cooper etc, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS and Oprah too? I didnt' think so. They all do the same thing. This is normal in TV. Take Palins name out of the show and this would never be an issue.
so quit harping on FOX for this unless your going to harp on every Network as well.
No – I'm no Palin fan – but I do work in TV (and no..not for FOX)
dalmation20, please give an example of a show that has been banned, or that liberals have attempted o ban. Please, just one example. Or is this just more made up BS you right wing nut jobs like to spew?
Bobby, I am a military brat, so I have spent lots of time on bases. Did you ever wonder why the military leans right??? I mean think about that, people who CHOOSE to serve our country, to protect our freedoms, lean right? Is it maybe because the right stands up more for what they believe and not the progressive agenda that the left has put out? Also Fox personalities support the military much more than you hear from CNN or MSNBC, so it only makes sense. You can't honestly tell me that our military is so easily brainwashed that they go in leaning left and after watching Fox they go right? FYI, check the stats, Fox does lead the networks, and the military leaned right long before Fox, CNN, MSNBC ever came along!
If conservitives don't like a show, we don't watch it, if liberals don't like a show they try to ban it. It's funny to me how these "freedoms" liberals talk about are just in their interest.
Good for Sarah! I'm glad she finally found another job that requires her to do absolutely nothing! What exactly is her roll on this show, 5 minutes of blathering to the few who think 'folksy' and 'quaint' are equitable to 'intelligent' and 'educated', before the people the majority of viewers actually care about are interviewed by legitimate journalists?
I'm with many of the other posters, I sincerely hope Palin gets the nomination for Pres. in 2012. I'm going to go a bit farther though. I almost hope she wins. While I'd hate to have to live through the serious mess she'd likely make of things, the good news is that the aftermath would be like Bush to the tenth power- by the time she was done, it might be centuries before any American even considered electing another fringe nut job with more voice than brains and a sincere desire to return this country to the 19th century.
TERRIFIED of Sarah Palin? No way. The people I'm terrified of are those of you who actually admire this grifter and have been taken in by her.
Hey, quit postin' as me. And I don't care for the silly woman either.
Palin has no credibility so why not use folks who she thinks has some. What else is new. Palin is the biggest HOAX of the decade. P.T. Barnum would be proud of her.
tracey,
" the truth is, it is down right misleading for her or the tv execs to be running those interview clips since they have nothing to do with her show."
Do you even know what her show is about or how the interviews are intro'd?
The show is about inspirational Americans and is semi-biographical about each of the people. That would include using old clips, footage, and interviews. The show does not pretend that Palin is conducting to interview.
A lot of people are really getting bent out of shape over something they know nothing about.
J...those are a lot of assumptions which means shotty logic. Ever been on a military base? The military is traditionally right. You know what they have playing on all of their lobby TV's? Fox news.
Does it not figure? Palin, who still sees Russia from her kitchen window, and FOX, who always has such a right-wing view on events. They're a PERFECT match!
Fox owns the rights, and again what people are overlooking, this isn't a "Palin Rally" show, it's a show about people who have made great accomplishments in their lives, in lots of industries, these stories should appeal and inspire everyone, no matter what your political affiliation is. If anyone but Palin was doing this, no one would say a word. By the way, all CNN is doing by stirring this up is upping the ratings for her show because now more people will turn into Fox to see what all the hubbub is about, and won't CNN be shocked if people actually decide they like Fox better?! The problem here is that obviously Palin (who by the way I am no big fan of) has people on the left scared, so they look for any reason to tear her down and discredit her. I didn't see gripes when Obama used canned interviews and statements during his campaign, so what's the difference?
wow, i'm amazed with the way the two parties are attacking each other here! the truth is, it is down right misleading for her or the tv execs to be running those interview clips since they have nothing to do with her show. with or without permission, whether or not fox owns the rights to the interview or not. plain and simple.
both left and right make up the news to suit itself and we as "free thinking" americans need to sift, and sort it for ourselves. as for a president who is screwing up...georgie boy left one hellava mess to clean up. and michele, your 100% right! if palin ever became president i would be terrified.
It was the same when they tried to use the Jackson Brown song during the campaign, and he went ape sh!t and told them Republicanknuckleheads NO WAY!
Duh, MOST music artist are so not on that side. Like they are going to want to associated with uuuzzz guys!
Talk about reachin'! They need to turn to the Christian music, oh, but...nobody is going to know those songs., esp. since they suck.
bb,
"the issue here is that is appears that for Mrs. Palin's new show she or her producers at Fox News plan to use old footage without the permission of those being interviewed and to present is a fresh. This is both dishonest and illegal. "
Nothing illegal about it. The copyright for the interview belongs to the network. They can use it without permission from the interviewee.
Palin used canned interviews for her program. May I have her job? I can put myself in front of any interview I tape record off the air and make it look inspiring. She's a former TV journalist and she knows better. She has to do the legwork. It's not like she has the challenge of having to remember the key themes of a speech or anything...
Wow, so many comments from people who have not actually seen the show. That's kind of like when kids say they don't like brocolli before they have even tried it.
Why don't we all hold out judgement until you've actually seen the show.
And before you jump on the right bashing band wagon, I'm a democrat.
OMG – I cannot believe what I am reading here, from both sides of the argument. Obviously, the real issue is not your real concern, right or left. The rest of the world is laughing at us again. We used to be a proud country that most others looked up to. During the 2nd Bush administration, we lost that respect and were the butt of jokes in Europe. When Obama was legally elected ( not court appointed – by the way I voted for McCain) Europe felt maybe we had not become of nation of folks auditioning for Dumb and Dumber, but then the crazies came out of their closets.
We need someone who is intelligent, caring and can be respected on a world stage. We need to regain our reputation as being an intelligent society. In case you haven't noticed, we have become a county where the dumbest, the most racist and the biggest bigots get the most press. WHAT HAPPENED??
If Fox is soo horrible, why is it consistently beating all the other cable news in the ratings? Let's think this through. Majority of voters watch cable news, majority of those watch Fox, majority of people voted for a liberal, democratic president and congress in the last 2 elections. Seems to me that Fox shows that it is in fact fair and balanced and appeals to both dem and republican, as every survey ever done proves.
@ crazyleft – Smart enough to see you're not much more than an internet troll 🙂
And the version of 2 you're looking for has 2 o's.
Lindsay, WI...you sound smart, are you single? 🙂
This is just another example of why I, and hopefull most of America, doesn't trust Palin.
Hookie, have you ever been to Alaska? While territorially large, not a lot of people and getting elected pretty much goes to the people who are willing to take the office.
crazyleft...Obama was a US Senator, state senator, and community organizer. Sure he hadn't been doing those things for 35 years but not everyone runs for President at retirement. Just like any other industry, if you are smart, a quick learner, and talented you rise to the top faster then the rest. As far as President Clinton's comment, he was summing up that Obama didn't have many years of experience in high office...not commenting on his intelligence. (also, you are aware that his wife was running for high office at the time right?)
Lenny
"thia is a very under handed trick and violate copt right"
The network owns the copyright, not LL Cool J, not Toby Keith. If the network wants to use the interview, it is perfectly legal.
If Palin becomes President........C'mon bloggers. Add to this storyline.
MDY: FOXY – Yes. Moron – No. 🙂
"Idiot"RepublicanWoman – do you people realize that the federal government doesn't MAKE money doing anything? The money they spend is from US, the American people! If you think that insuring 30+million more people isn't going to cost us anything, you're insane! Wake up, people.
No more posts from me. Not worth arguing...it really is a shame that stupidity isn't painful though. Enjoy the day folks!
EJ247,
How can she "steal" something which the network legally owns?
These are the words of Mariann Pepitone from a Sept 7, 2007 message board on MSNBC...and I quote: "
Obama was so low in the polls Oprah had to endorse him to bring up his percentage and she wants him to become president so bad because he's part black. she must have forgotten that a white audience put her on top not a black audience. Obama will not win the nomination or will he become president of the United States now or later. Hillary will win the nomination without a doubt and might become the first woman president. Obama couldn't win over Guiliani or Fred Thompson even if he won the nomination. America is not ready for him and may never be. Wake up!! If he won the nomination most democrats would vote republican. He may win in Illinois and a few other states but that's all. All Obama has is a big smile and big teeth, but he doesn't know politics as well as Hillary Clinton, Rudy or Fred Thompson. He's not capable of discussing matters with world leaders and you can tell that by the way he campaigns. World leaders would laugh at him."
How's your poison pen today, Mariann?
Along with being an idiot, a fool, and a liar, Palin is also a thief.
I'm surprised she had to trick him to grt him to be apart of her show. They seem like they make a great team. They are both loved by ignorant people and they are both good at starting crap. They both SUCK! And give the GOP bad name.
If we can get beyond the mudslinging and condescending tones, the issue here is that is appears that for Mrs. Palin's new show she or her producers at Fox News plan to use old footage without the permission of those being interviewed and to present is a fresh. This is both dishonest and illegal. Where is their legal department? I am sure there are plenty of folks willing to be interviewed by Mrs. Palin on her first show. Perhaps not the stars she wants but certainly there are celebrites who are ultra conservative who would eagerly accept a request for an interview. Or maybe not, I don't know. That Fox has developed a show that is a quilt of old interviews and presenting them as new reflects a general trend the network has to bend the news to suit its needs.
@ hookie
Your absolutely correct, I think news discussion should be fact based, if this was an op-ed piece I'd expect more opinions, but then again I read a variety of news sources (CNN, Fox, Msnbc, Al-Jazeera, Reuters) everyday, and formulate my own opinions.
I fear a misinformed electorate.
a couple of nice lawsuits should put a pretty good damper on this new show and kill it for Palin!! Food for thought:)
As tempting as this is, Palin does not deserve any more of my time.
Have a good day!
FOX News programming meeting with Sarah Palin
FOX: So Sarah, we've had an interview show in development for a while now and need a face to sell it with. We know you're bad at interviews (nicht wahr Katie Couric?) so we've taken the liberty of having several interviews already in the can. You won't have to do any research, prepare questions or sit down and talk with anyone. Are you interested?
Sarah: I don't have to do anything, not even write notes on my hand, and I still get paid? You Betcha!
But he gave the interview...so what's with the belly-aching!?
Networks re-use old interviews all the time. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc. all do it.
And technically the network owns copyright of the interview unless there was a special agreement before hand and therefore can do what they want with it.
The big outrage is that Fox and Palin are doing it. If it were CNN and Anderson Cooper or Christiana Amanpour, no one would even blink about it.
I'm so sick of the "omg the left does this" "omg the right does that" bullcrap. Why can't we focus on the topic at hand instead of getting into some idealogical war. Labels don't allow people to think straight. It automatically turns into an "us vs them" situation when people throw around labels. And honestly, the only "us vs them" we should see is "us vs the government". Politicians on both sides are corrupt and money hungry. Instead of spewing hatred at each other and listening to talking heads on T.V why can't we think for ourselves and use actual respectful talking with evidence backing up what we believe.
Here are what I believe is relevant to the article:
-The people running a show said they had interviews from various celebrities.
– Whether or not they need permission, it looks a bit shady (in my opinion) when they use interviews without informing the interviewee. When the host is a political figure, it almost seems like they are trying to trick the viewer into thinking the celebrities support the politician and that goes for both a left leaning or right leaning network.
To me this isn't a right vs left thing...this is a "I think network X behaved in a slightly shady manner" thing. I'd think the same if MSNBC did it.
@ Sanity
You are kinda funny....typing up your presentation because you felt the forum wasn't going the way you thought it should.
BOBBY, FACTS AND CNN IN THE SAME SENTENCE? PLEASE.....
Jobeycool....thats because the left wingers didn't just get arrested.
And, CNN did do a breakdown of fanatics as a whole. Basically they laid out the numbers and about 80% of the fanitical groups THAT ARE VIOLENT are right wingers. The study went over time and stated that basically most of the left winger violent groups were back in the 60s-70s. But I do agree they both are dangerous in general, it just seems that the facts (as presented by CNN) show the violent ones tend to be right wingers.
Why does anyone think ANY news program reports only the truth? What flavor Kool-aid are we drinking today?
(But Sarah doesn't have a clue on anything but jumps in anywhere to get her name out there. She probably has no idea who LL Cool J or Toby Keith are.)
HAIRY QUINN, YOU DON'T SOUND TO SMART
The left and the right refuse to engage in a factual discussion here, so I'll do it for both of these bonehead groups.
Point 1 the Interviews:
If you sign a release when doing an interview for a given news provider they can use it for whatever show they like. If they choose to use said interview without at least letting the person know ahead of time, it simply shows they are of poor character and provide little courtesy for others, but its not criminal.
Point 2 the Context:
If the show's promo (which I have not seen) says something to the effect of "On the Sarah Palin Show, interviews of amazing americans Toby Keith and L.L. Cool J" It has not stated that Palin interviewed them, but it is implied, and this speaks to how sensationalized and dramatized news has become, it's about ratings and advertising dollars, and illustrates that the network executives and marketing team are of bankrupt moral values, but it's not criminal.
This is the problem with this country, everyone left or right slants their argument to what benefits them, and their perspective rather than looking at objectively.
@ HELLLO
Honestly, the Sarah Palin haters cannot appreciate her achievements....imagine what it takes to succeed in politics and be elected as a governor. That's an achievement and successful person.
The Palin haters are usually just reacting in a liberal knee-jerk response, with statements such as "she's stupid", "OMG she would fail as president".
LOL Susan...I'm neither fat, nor ugly, nor stupid, nor living on welfare or whatever you people claim we are. Sarah Palin is not someone to be envied. She paraded her pregnant teen all over the country to try and in a bid to get elected, then quit her job to become a "celebrity". She is not a role model. At best, she's an opportunist who will exploit her children for gain and avid facebook blogger.
As for FOX News, they're not a news organization. They run 24 hour conservative commentary.
Nelphy– this is a CNN post. Is anyone that concerned about grammar? Is this 1st grade? Are we getting graded on a spelling test? English could be her 10th language for all you know. Your LAME.
ps. meant "You're" LAME. 😉
PATRIOT, WILL YOU GIVE ME FREE STUFF TOO?
Tom – If you dislike CNN so much quit coming to the site. Go back to stupid FOX and watch your brain turn to mush.
Funny how any news station, media oulet, web site or commentator who disagrees with Republican Talking Points(c) is deemed "librul, leftist, commie," etc., etc. by the Fox News parrots?
Do you all really think Palin is behind this? Is she really that smart?
Nah.
Blame the producers of her show and blame TLC for staging such a shenanigan for the sole reason to generate headlines.
Then stop commenting on this thread since it just keeps the fire fueled and the buzz a brewin'
Sarah Palin is a criminal and should be in jail
i wish they'd just lock her up and throw away the key !
they way she's going it will happen – wait and see ...
BOBBY, YOU ARE MISTAKEN WITH YOUR LAST COMMENT. OBAMA IS NOT QUALIFIED TO PARK MY CAR, BUT HE IS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. EVEN EVIL BILL SAID TWO YEARS AGO HE WOULD BE BRINGING HIM COFFEE . BUT LIKE I SAID ALL THIS FREE STUFF IS GOOD AND HE WILL GET ME MORE
Why do liberals smear Palin with insults after insults and no facts?The hatred on the far left is getting as dangerous as the hatred is on the far right with goofy militia groups.These people have no facts and are the real scary violent people we should be afraid of.
Far left and Far right fanatics are dangerous to us all.
And the left wing media does not expose the lunatic fringe on the left at all,and they should be ashamed of themselves for not showing it.
If we are going to have real debates and respect each other the left wing media has got to clean up the mess which they have created in the eyes of the public towards Fox news and Sarah Palin.
Fox news does have a right spin and as well as MSNBC as the left spin.Fox news covered the right wing militia fanitcal groups.Msnbc and CNN did not show anything at all on the left wing hatred.
I thank God every day for Sarah Palin. If not for her blatant stupidity, obvious to all but the most deluded of nutjobs, we might have been saddled with another republican president.
Susan – Learn to spell. So if we are not Sara lovers we are either fat, ugly or real stupid? I do believe you have showed your own intelligence...which is NONE.
This looks like a lot of free publicity and ad revenue to me. I wonder how much she makes for this show, Rush is a multi-millionaire, Beck might be too, among other Fox news folks. They say right pays well. Palin seems like the new Ann Coulter, after all the flack Palin has taken I wonder how anyone can think Palin has a future in politics as far as ever holding an office again, then I wonder how many of these bloggers here are hired to promote the show or whatever.
I don't even believe the sports scores on FOX NEWS, I would ever consider anything they said that actually mattered. Propaganda at its worse.
Chris, just because someone is a good person and a good Mom doesn't mean they are qualified to hold the most complex job in the world. You need someone who is smart and has endurance. Character is important but it isn't absolutely necessary. Example...Nixon and Clinton. Both did some smart things as president and had success but lacked moral character in one way or another.
NO ONE WANTS TO TALK TO AN ILLEGAL MEXICAN FARM WORKER? YOU PAY FOR EVERYTHING I HAVE BUT WILL NOT TALK TO ME! NICE
its so like Fox to manufacture Failin Palin's endorsements and rehash old tape out of context to create a non-existent fan base for their right-wing racist agenda.
Who cares if Fox owns the copyright. It's still pathetic that celebrities are issuing public statements just to clear themselves from any connection with Palin. Palin followers are like mindless sheep, seriously. The woman is an idiot and I laugh every time I hear her speak. And this is coming from someone who give a rats a$$ about politics. Wake up people, just because someone is on TV a lot and hogs the spotlight, does not mean she is 100% right and you should hang on her every word. Haven't you lived through enough of your own experiences to decide what is right and wrong? Is too bad money and media can make a person way too influential than they ever should be.
Palin for President 2012. The world is going to end anyway!
Tom... Do yourself a favor and change the chanel at 5PM EST from FOX news before Beck rots your mind. I don't really care if she hosts a show about LL Cool J and Toby Keith or not. Maybe there will be somthing about LL running from sharks in some crap movie or alot of Toby Keith wraped in American Flags. Don't really care. Non of you should either.
JAY, CAN YOU SEND ME SOME CASH?
Yes, after causing me to lose my freedom to be denied Health Insurance, opening up new areas off shore for oil exploration and saving about $68 billion revamping the student loan program those Democrats and Obama are going to get kicked out of office for sure.
When Glen Beck cries, I start to cry also.
I think Sarah Plain is a very good person. She is a good mom. She would make an excellent President.
OBAMA HAS TO WORK HARDER ON MY CRADLE TO GRAVE STUFF I PLAN ON HAVING A BUNCH OF ILLEGAL CHILDREN TOO. I AM SORRY I DID NOT TELL YOU, I AM FROM MEXICO.
HOOKIE, she was elected governor and QUIT. So stop saying that like it MEANS something. She couldnt hack it. Couldnt do it. Quitter.
FOX "News" is trash. This is yet another example of them making news up basically or not being completely forthright with their audience. They manipulate what they have to fit their narrow-minded agenda. The Palin rally/book signing earlier this year was the perfect example. CNN may not have the viewership, but at least they have my respect.
And people like Glen Beck, insane. I really don't get what people see in him at all. He's like one of the overly dramatic televangelists.
Reading this blog is what's wrong with American Politics. Left wingers aren't inherently ignorant and neither are right winger's. They just hold different points of view on a given issue. To get a real preception on what's going on is hard.
News agencies used to be more ethical and that's why this story popped up. Fox is right, MSNBC is left, and CNN plays the guidance counselor by asking their viewers how they feel about a story. The common American is the victim, because they don't know better.
You really have to take a look at each to get an overall unbiased report.
Fox News is pretty much full of shi*. But at any given time you can find plenty of liberal examples. I personally don't like Fox News for the most part because their anchors are too opinionated. Same goes for MSNBC.
ProudRepublicaWoman...a FOXymoron if I ever heard one
SARAH PALIN, I LIKE THAT RIGHT WING NUT SHE IS GOING TO PAY FOR MY FREE STUFF TOO. (I REALLY DO NOT LIKE HER BUT WANT HER MONEY)!
Go Sarah go, Go Sarah go, Go Sarah go!! Eat your hearts out Palin haters, these posts are simply to funny! Go Sarah go...
This is not remotely surprising. Palin's entire persona is a fraud on the public. People defending her (or Faux News) have their head up their a–.
Still the left-wingers try to bash and dumb-down Palin. Quite amusing actually. I think some of these posters must be brain dead to think that the Democrats are doing a bang-up job. LOWEST approval rating in the history of our country. I can't wait 'till November!!! 🙂 BIG SMILE!
I doubt that Sarah Palin had anything to do with it personally, but I do find it amusing that when the same thing was done to her (think Newsweek) she made big noises about being exploited. Unfortunately, she doesn't feel the need to set higher standards.
I don't understand how people can fall in "love" with this person. She does not tell the truth about most things and you really have to listen to her talks to know that she is not always truthful. I look for a law suit on this by Toby and I hope he does!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOX is not in the news business. They are in the deception business! They are the typical right-wing bag of slime – steal, lie, cheat, defraud, and then blame others! They belong with the pedophile priests – lower than snake spit.
This is a typical Sarah Palin trick – using old outdated interview segments out of context and without permission.
If this airs, Toby Keith (a true patriotic American) should sue Palin, Fox News, and whichever shows this airs on (including repeats).
I hope he gets a bagfull of cash – knowing what kind of guy Toby is, any money he collects from this would probably go to a veterans' charity.
I am marching to go drink my Republican kool-aid and turn on Fox for more truth and to see if Glen Beck is crying today. Ya'll have fun.
Toby is a lifelong Democrat. Hope he sues.
@Michele – NOT terrified; just appalled. should be getting used to it, I guess. Thought this was supposed to be "her" show.
I blame the producers/ art dept of the show for not knowing basic copyright infringement on usage/licensing rights. Must be fresh out of school.
Wow, I can't tell which one is imploding faster; Farce News or it's Republican Party puppet-master?
US LEFT WING NUTS HAVE TO STAY TOGETHER, THIS CAP AND TRADE THING IS GOIING TO PAY FOR MORE FREE STUFF. LETS NOT UPSET THE RIGHT BECAUSE IT WILL COME OOUT OF THEIR POCKET BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE JOBS.
A dose of Sarah is like a dose of ipecac...she gets the poison out into the open. Despite that, thanks for being part of the national scene, Sarah. You are just more proof that America loves a good joke!
"Gotcha" jounalism at its finest.
She cannot even run a TV show right, and she wants to govern us? NOT
Notice how they didn't make any rude comments on his fledgling career. Toby would kick their asses. Can't we give Sara to China/Russia or someplace where I never have to see her sorry face or here her stupid voice. She brings women back to the caveman days. EVIL, EVIL, EVIL...
@Theresa
Often, when people make statements such as "she's stupid", "she's a poor example for young women".....those people do appear threatened to me. Threatened because they are making skewed observations and discounting Palin's noticeable strengths and achievements.
Honestly, the woman was elected as a Governor, has a close family, is active in religion and community.
In the real world, these things do require some degree of intellect and emotional intellect.
I WANT HER TO GO BACK TO ALASKA AND TAKE LEVI WITH HER AND FOX NEWS YEAH RIGHT CNN IS WHERE IS AT.
TEABAGGERS THAT IS FUNNY. BUT PLEASE BE NICE TO THEM THEY ARE THE ONES THAT WILL BE PAYING FOR ALL THIS FREE STUFF!
When will Sarah Palin just disappear off the face of the planet? Conservatives don't even like her so why is she still trying so hard? She's doing nothing for the political community except for flaunting her arrogance and expressing her deep, failing desire for media attention.
I like the LL Cool J angle. Makes it look like she know a black person.
All of you who think us RINOs who are now independents are going to go back to voting Republican any time soon while crackpots like Palin and teabaggers are around are crazy! I was going to vote for McCain until he capitulated to the ultra-right wing. Him picking Palin just confirmed my decision.
I'm looking for some ideas from the GOP that will turn things around.
I'm not looking for more of the same, ie "NO". While the GOP moves even farther to the right Obama moves to the center. (Drilling, anyone?)There are seven months to the next election. My prediction is that Obama will have solidified the center. Once again I will vote for our (centrist) Republican governor but not for a right wing nut job.
Wake up GOP, you are pandering to a minority.
I DO NOT THINK I AM STUPID. I DONT WORK AND HAVE FREE HEALTH COVERAGE AND FOOD STAMPS. HOW IS THAT STUPID?
Everything Sarah does has a problem, issue, crisis, or embarrassement associated with it.
Will Sarah ever stop entertaining America, and making republicans look foolish?
I hope not!
Oh for god's sake. I agree that the people who were part of the special should have been told that old interviews were going to be used for this special. Now with that said, it all depends on who owns the rights of the clips, if Fox purchased them then they have the right to use it, if they didn't guess what they will be sued by the owners.
Once again, people jumping to a conclusioin without knowing any of the facts. As far as Sarah Palin being behind it, without knowing if she was part of the decision process as to get the clips and not tell anyone how can anyone, left or right blame her?
Quit the stupid politics on something so damn minor.
Man you libs are funny! hyour panties get in a knot over the smallest things, but you are all for socialization of the country, what a sad crew you are!
This tells me 3 things. LL Cool J is not alone. Fox will do anything to make a dollar off contraversy. Sarah Palin can't runa n interview, she has to piggy-back off of a professionals work, because clearly she is just a Marionette and someone else is pulling her strings.
Hey Susan you can't even spell MORON. hahahaha.
COME ON, WHO CARES ABOUT THIS? WE ARE GOING TO GET A FREE LUNCH FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
To Tom – this isn't about being liberal or conservative. Toby Kieth calls himself a conservative. He gave the interview last year and it WASN"T done by Mrs. Palin. Fox is using the interview as if he was just interviewed. Fox did not contact Mr. Keith to even give him the common courtesy to say, hey we're goign to use the interview you gave us last year. The same thing with LL Cool J. He gave his interview even earlier than Toby. Again, Fox did not call LL Cool J to at least let him know they had planned on using it. It has nothing to do with liberal or conservative or anything political. It has to do with common courtesy. How would you feel if you gave an interview to someone, then someone else used that interview a year later in a program....let's say, Keith Olberman...............You wouldn't liket it either.
To Nebraska Producer:
It really doesn't matter what releases or consent forms were signed. Do you honestly think that LL or Toby Keith would want any type of association with Sarah Palin?
You Plain bashing morans, you are either ugly, or fat or real stupid, or maybe all. Envy will get you no where:) And as for Fox, I wouldn't watch any other news organization. On Fox at least they tell you the thruth.
Okay, the 95% of the posters here obvously no NOTHING about Television. Fox is doing absolutely NOTHING wrong here. They shot the interviews with the actors permission – so now FOX owns the interviews. Palin is simply hosting a segment where they will be admiring someone who has overcome adversity. To do this they will use interviews, clips, photos etc. This is EXTREMELY COMMON in magazine shows, commentaries, entertainement shows, News, etc. Yes, CNN and MSNBC do this often as well. Look past your hate for the person & look at the facts. This is only news because it has Palins name attached to the show and the subjects don't like Palin. If it was Oprah, they wouldn't have said a word.
and no, I'm not a Palin supporter – but I do work in TV.
of course I am. Obama Obama Obama. another three years and I will have a 250k house for free that some sucker is working his tail off while I sit in the basement of my parents house doing blog bs all day and night
I dont hate Sara AT ALL! I love her and I am so happy she is on the OTHER TEAM!!!
Hilary quit in NY. In fact she moved to NY just so she could win an election. She bailed on NY and lost her shot at Prez. Now what back to AK. Nope they don't want anymore Clintons
I can't help but think were this anyone else doing a show, there would not be a problem with any of the celebrities info being used.
Palin's a moron. I hope the Republicans nominate her... I dream of a Pailn/Bachmann ticket in 2012. Non stop comedy.
Peter and Crazyleft- you have no idea what you're talking about. Get a clue.
And to the Sarah Palin koolaid drinkers, nothing in this article says Toby Keith complained, does it? It just says his rep was not aware of how the interview was being used.
Typical right, making a drama out of nothing.
She is a goddess. The next President of the United States. God Bless America.
Sarah's response: FYTK
Leave it to CNN to get the story wrong again when it comes to their attacks on Fox.
Toby, LL Cool J and the others – all did interviews for Fox that were to be used in an upcoming show. This was all done before they announced Palin as the host. They knew that they did the interviews and they knew that they would be used, they just didn't know who the host would be.
Give me a break CNN.....stop attacking....it makes you look like Fox is kicking your butt in ratings.....oh wait they are!!1
Well said Ehren!!
When it was just the networks doing news it was considered a public service and they expected to lose money on it. Now with the 24 hour news channels they need to make a profit instead of provide a public service. Also please keep in mind that commentators on both sides are not news. They pick and choose which facts to display to support their argument. Best way to get the news is to watch, read, and listen to multiple sources. You will find what is common to both ideologies and what isn't go for the middle. It's probably as close to the truth as we are likely to get.
I am excited with Palin's new show – I think this is the best deal Obama could hope for – every time she comes on tv ordinary public will get a chance to see her lack of experience and knowledge. Fox – please extend her show till the next election...please,
We all know that Sarah has no legitimate public use that involves clothing.
Toby, sue 'em! Then you too can make some big money.
If I'm not mistaken FOX News has a good sized led in the ratings over CNN................but I know all you Lefties are just smarter than the rest of us.....that's what makes you uniquely qualified to lead and make all our decisions.
I'm surprised if Toby Keith would be offended by the use of an old interview....last I heard he was a supporter.........Mr. LL Cool J.....no idea..........but previously used stock footage of interviews are probablly public domain and don't need new permissions to be used.....depending on what thety are used for I guess.......
maybe some Commie will enlighten me......I'm always ready to listen when one of you speaks.........your knowledge and wisdom just overwhelm me!
dear crazy left. I am assuming you are drawing benefits...
The host of a show isn't responsible for contacting celebrities to ask permission for anything. If you insist on beating her up with words, you're beating the wrong person. Take the time to do research to find out whose job it is to make those contacts; then you beat up on the correct person. Better yet, apply for the job yourself ,so you can get it done right.
"It may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: 'Sit down and shut up,' but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out." –Sarah Palin, announcing her resignation as governor, July 3, 2009
HAHAHAHAHAHAH righties, you can have HER.
Come on all you left wing nuts I need some money for lunch, please help me out
Tom – Toby Keith is NOT a "left wing entertainer," FYI. Have you heard his songs, or do you remember the Dixie Chicks debacle?? He is not politically liberal by any means, he is just simply saying that he did not know this interview was to be used. That is not politically motivated.
dear free thinker. you funny.
Theresa, may I have some of your money?
FOX is no doubt just out to make money any way they can. Palin is a good example, she and the network remind me of how those "healing people" rob believers out of their life savings with promises of going to heaven. Palin and Fox will be going the other way!
the Snap(welfare Program) is good.
Wow! Lot of poison pens here.... The show hasn't even aired and you all are pouing gasoling and getting the matches ready for Sarah Palin. Doesn't if even occur to you that she might be the shows "host". and that all? Gee – she does work for FOX.
What's all the hate about? Got your panties in a wad yet?
I find it quite humourous when people (especially Republican women) think anyone who criticizes or disagrees with Ms Palin is threatened or jealous of her. I am female but I am not threatened or jealous by or of Ms Palin. I think it's sad she @ least didn't finish her governorship ..this to me proves she couldn't handle any criticism so she chose to quit. When you compare her with Pres. Obama...now he certainly has been villified ,criticized & demonized. As you see he's still hard @ work ....NO towel thrown in by him. She is only out to benefit herself financially &I'll give her A plus for that. She's just like any other 2010 reality tv show celeb....NO talent,NO substance. To me she & Ann Coulter could start their own fan club!!! To me she is a poor example for young women to follow. Hilliary Clinton ...now there 's an example of a hard working woman who cares about humanity...especially children & her gender!!!
they make up their version of the news... why not make up a series? Palin is a idiot.
Palin for President 2012... The world is going to end anyway!
Obama Obama mmmm mmmmm mmmm
Palin should quit doing this. Quitting should be familiar enough to her.
Hey David – the only difference between Fox "News" and CNN is that Fox caters to misinformed cons. Fox is more equivalent to "The Onion" but at least "The Onion" is funny. Fox is just pathetic. Keep drinking the koolaid.
So who is she sleeping with at Fox? I hope she and Fox get sued to the point they have to crawl back under their joint rocks and rot.
Underhanded, but it is still getting Palin and FOX press coverage. Can we justr say No to them both and not even bother opening these stories and then maybe CNN will get the hint that no one cares about these people.
Tom c April 1st, 2010 1:09 pm ET
Socalmama,
Obama needs to go home and be a DAD.

Tom I am not an American – Canadian – its thoughts like yours that are leaving your country in the dust. The Right wing has you all bamboozled from thinking REP are about small government (Reagan and the Bushies massively increased gov't), free markets (lol, Goldman Sachs thanks all US taxpayers for your gift – what'd you get pal?) and that universal healthcare is bad (Canadians live much longer than you and our costs are way less and its free – Oh BTW the US is THE ONLY MAJOR NATION THAT DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF ITS CITIZENS...but ya'll got guns and free speech...wake up morons!
Palin go back from where to came from
Obama is going to make sure I never have to work for anything he is a good man. I
Palin is a moron, just like George W. Bush
Typical comments from a bunch of leftest communist loving CNN lovers. You all and Obammy are a perfect match – Worthless!
It's amazing to me how you liberals bash Fox and Palin with insults without any basis whatsoever. Call her names, say Fox isn't news, etc. I'm not a huge Palin supporter, but c'mon, this is ridiculous. You take a short story and make all sort of assumptions about why she used taped interviews, her legal rights to use it, so on and so forth. It seems like at some point you folks would realize that this exact behavior is why you are in the minority in this country. I thought the election of Scott Brown would have clued you in. And yet, here you are, continuing to criticize Palin and Fox as if they are evil. If Fox is so bad, why is it that they have nearly 3 times the ratings of CNN? Actually, they beat CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC combined. It seems you'd get the message. Maybe November will help.
Bolt Backer: And don't you wish you could make millions like Palin does. Sure you do but you never will. And the majority of college graduates today will be lucky to find a job. And what is the big deal between Toby and LL Cool with Fox using their interviews? They should be lucky that Fox picked them because there are more highly important people then they are and who cares. .
I love love how the Failin Palins love to put the blame on the economy on the "liberals". Did you not forget who was in office the last 6 years? We are were we are because of republicans! Also why do you call us liberals as if it were a bad thing? We are all liberal when we want to be, and if not we should be more generous and less hateful. Palin is a sign of a hateful and distasteful movement of extremism in this country. It goes against the grain of what real truth, love, honesty, and morality should be. Stop distorting, stop blaming and why don't you start analyzing yourselves. Palin should be more concerned about her children and that baby that needs more attention. She is more concerned about headlines and making money. She has failed in the test of government service by abandoning her one and only post. Remember, it took 6 years for the republicans to make this #$%^ mess we are all struggling with. It is pretty ugly for Republicans, Palin Failins and the drug induced Rush to wish failure upon the current administration when in fact they had the power for 6 years and almost destroyed the country with risky ventures and a sad war on the wrong country. Our country is slowly coming back to life economically thanks to the Republican loss. And you all hate that so much you are running scared! Palin is a sick sick idea of today's progressive and powerful woman.
Whatever you may think of Sarah Palin, do yourself a favor and read the book recently out called "Game Change". This book is probably the most honest and open overview of all the players from 2008. It covers insights on President Obama, John McCain, John Edwards, and most importantly Sarah Palin.
THis lady could have been a heart beat awayu from the presidency. Thank God that did not happen. Personally, I think she's a nice looking woman. That's it!!!!!
Palin is nothing but low life person that feeds off peoples fear.anybody that supports the trash that come out of her mouth gets what they deserve.
Man I hate the right, they want us nuts to work for our money and health care. that is such BS. I think I should be able to live on someone else's paycheck and write in blogs all day from the basement of my parents house. I am 35yrs old and have not worked a day my whole life. Please lets all get along.
Deb, your right, free health care to everyone! Oh ya lets give all the folks an extra couple hundred a week too! You see Deb, companies leave because they can't afford taxes. Tax that goes to govr't programs to make sure everyone is happy. And you are wrong everyone does not want to work, they all want to be the boss at there job. No one wants entry level. No fear Deb, under your new leaders plan, young folks can sit in mommy and daddys basemant playin Xbox until they are 26! Good move-HAha
Does this mean that nobody would gladly work with Palin and to have someone working with her she really needs to steal old interviews? Sad.
Hey Michele and all you other righties out there – the righties (Bush) are the ones that got this country in the mess it's in – Obama inherited Bush's failings. Sarah Palin is not worth the time everyone is putting in to comment about her. The left is not scared of anyone. The right just has nothing better to do then bash everyone else.
Why can't Palin just ride off into the Alaskan sunset (if that ever happens up there) and leave the lower 48 the hell alone. Hasn't it dawned on people that she is an idiot, doesn't have the brains that God gave a goose and would do or say anything outrageous just to p*ss people off? I had some remaining respect for John McCain, but to see her next to him now, just babbling along winky dinky, and him sitting there like a befuddle old man, just grates. Palin – deal with your family and husband and leave the rest of the US alone.
Typical Fox mis-information!
BTW,
this article was listed under the "entertainment" section.
Tom...you're too dumb to even insult. Good luck in your sad little life.
The Paris Hilton of politics.

AHHHHH Someone PLEASE MAKE HER GO AWAY...I DONT WANNA SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING SHE HAS TO SAY...GO BACK TO ALSAKA AND LOOK FOR RUSSIA.
"Let me go back to a comfortable analogy for me – sports... basketball. I use it because you're naive if you don't see the national full-court press picking away right now: A good point guard drives through a full court press, protecting the ball, keeping her eye on the basket... and she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can WIN." –Sarah Palin, announcing her resignation, July 3, 2009

"Letterman certainly has the right to 'joke' about whatever he wants to, and thankfully we have the right to express our reaction.

"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care.

"Left Unalakleet warmth for rain in Juneau tonite. No drought threat down here, ever but consistent rain reminds us: 'No rain? No rainbow!'" –one of many Tweets by Sarah Palin that William Shatner recited as poetry on "The Tonight Show"

"How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it's about country.

What does Toby Kieth have to say.He is still on the show right?If he does support Fox,Palin, and the Republican extremists and he doesn't mind being exploited then he fits right in.His choice.
Is it just a coincidence they had the same exact problem with two stories,one of which is a country western singer and the other a rap singer.Could Fox be manipulating it's viewers with this fabricated conflict between popular singers of two differing races.Are they fanning the flame for their racist viewers?
Bridget, you're ridiculous, to know about Sarah you suggest we read the book SHE "wrote". How bout we just listen to her, she gets in front of the camera EVERY chance she gets....let's see....
"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn't that ironic?" –Sarah Palin, admitting that her family used to get treatment in Canada's single-payer health care system, despite having demonized such government-run programs as socialized medicine that will lead to death-panel-like rationing, March 6, 2010
Sarah Palin, on writing notes on her hand during her Tea Party convention speech: "I didn't really had a good answer, as so often - is me. But then somebody sent me the other day, Isaiah 49:16, and you need to go home and look it up. Before you look it up, I'll tell you what it says though. It says, hey, if it was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it's good enough for me, for us. He says, in that passage, 'I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you,' and I'm like, 'Okay, I'm in good company.'" (March 5, 2010)
"They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh was using satire ... I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there." –Sarah Palin, attempting to rationalize why it's okay for Limbaugh to use the word "retards" but not Emanuel, FOX News Sunday interview, Feb. 7, 2010
"Who calls a shot like that? Who makes a decision like that? It's a disturbing trend." –Sarah Palin, pushing a conspiracy theory that "In God We Trust" had been moved to the edge of coins by the Obama administration (the change was made by the Bush administration in 2007 and was later reversed by Congress, before Obama took office), West Allis, Wisconsin, Nov. 6, 2009
okey dokey, what difference does it make? I have no idea why anyone would want to report about Keith.
As for Governor Palin, best thing happened to this country since Reagan, long live Palin, O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck and most of all Limbaugh..
Blah blah blah Baaaaaa Baaaaa... Mention FNC or Sarah Palin and watch all the liberal sheep put down their kool aid and come out of their pens.
This is how things work in the real world. If a performer does an interview on a network show (fox and friends,gma,today), it entirely belongs to the network. They can bring it out on any other of their network shows at no charge (check out MSNBC on the weekends). It is not a copyright issue because they agreed to the terms of the show. Musical performances are different because they entail copyright issues, but as long as you pay the licensing fee it's no foul. That's how things work in the real world.
@ Mariann Pepitone: That's right Mariann, let's all be like Sarah. Let's forego morals and ethics for the sake of millions. Let us have no captain experience and take the helm of a ship that is sailing through mine fields and icebergs. Let us all use ignorance and stupidity as a qualification and wreck this country and the world. That sounds really intelligent! Get an education and common sense, please.
Lies and Deceit you say, I guess she has learned well from the man in the white house.
Do any of you not live with your mom and dad?
@ Ron S.
Honestly, I don't see how people can call Palin stupid.
Her very geniune demeanor may come across as unsophisticated and hence unintelligent.
In the real world, it must take some degree of intellect to become elected as Governor of a state. And to run the state without some sort of crisis.
The same with G Bush Jr – he is very geniune in his demeanor. However, he went to and graduated from an Ivy League school – sure his family status prob helped him get in.
Just saying, in the real world, away from eletronic forums and chat – these things would require a reasonable amount of intellect.
Get a life please.
It is no surprise that we are questioning the journalistic ethics of a political "spokesperson" who quit her term as Governor of Alaska in order to speak at $100,000+ speaking engagements for her own benefit and a network who has even stated that their majority of their programming is not actual news during certain hours of the day, but clearly markets the biased inaccurate programming as actual news. What is surprising is that some audiences believe that Palin and Fox are actually in the political arena for journalistic service or patriotic reasons and not just for the ratings and money. As Americans, we should support our President, our government, our military , our troops, and our communities. Not throw our money and time at a network that clearly is just "in it for the money."
Bridget you are showing your stupidity better get back on your med's
This stuff happens all the time in the media. Sarah Palin is a big joke. But you know what, I would have voted for her & McCain over the liberal, left wing, indecisive junior senator from Illinois who's way under qualified to be running, or should I say ruining our country now. That's right, Mr. Bipartisan himself, the messiah, the almighty Barack HUSSEIN Obama. How about a round of applause.
I believe this is actually illegal. You cannot use someone's image for commercial reasons. I learned this in Media Law 101 in college. Of course I can't remember specifics, but this seems to be a prime example.
Fox News – this decade's OxyMoronism!
Edwin, You lose. You folks don't understand, the rich man owns business, in turn hires middle class. Reagan was right all along "trickle down" works, its the only answer. Go back to shopping at Walmart (China) and drivin' your non american cars!
As for liberals, with-out the big city poor, The left party does not exist.
HAHAHAHA!!! How weak of CNN to report this is... BIG NEWS!! Just because Fox eats your lunch... and dinner too in the ratings. Give me a break. Something that will clearly be resolved as a misunderstanding or communcation that will never get reported again... But CNN can beat on their chest for one day... Go ahead and feel good about that.
slow news day I guess.
The only reason idiots like Palin, O'Reilly, and Hannity have a show is because people who hate them give them ratings. They are like a trainwreck; you can't stop watching the lunacy. If people just stopped talking about them they'd go away. Other than that, they are all unqualified to be paid televised commentators.
Kelly: And what do you do for a living? The majority of the comments made against Palin are from Demodumbs and their jealousy is showing because Palin accomplished what you and the others will never do in your lifetime. Your parent's probably didn't either. I give her credit for being aggressive and making millions of dollars which you yourself will never have or succeed to have. Get a grip. Follow her path and maybe you will make millions too.
Failin Pailin and Faux News ! Of Course
I have been reading through the comments and for the most part I look at it realistically... The interviews are over a year old, which means whatever they were originally recorded for has probably played... I am also sure the contracts were for whatever the original program was, but regardless of that, considering how Sarah Palin was running for VP, and may be running for POTUS in 2012, and how so many people think (for whatever reason) she is so Political savy and smart, WHY, and again I ask WHY didn't she ask if these were verified before she put her name on it... Regardless of who did it she is the one that is in the front of it and if she isn't smart enough to reach out to those people and verify before hand, what kind of decisions/reasoning would she make in a level of real power without thinking about it... That is the thing with it her, it seems she never thinks before she acts, and whoever is running her PR doesn't think very well either... UNLESS she knew what it was and didn't care, either way, it makes her look like the stupid one, and basically, she is the stupid one for getting herself in the middle of it by not verifying first, considering how they made a commercial about it with all of the players in it, so she had knowledge of who was going to be on but it seems as if she either just blindly followed FOX (that is very presidential), or she knew and didn't care (another great political aspect)...
So however it went down, SHE is the one that was the biggest fool because her name is the one out front...
Ms. Palin's show is promoting these interviews in such a way that it implies that she actively particpated in the interviews, which is false. The only thing that the two performers have stated is that they did not do interviews with Ms. Palin. That's all. If her defenders are now trashing the performers for speaking out, then they are really grasping at straws.
It is unfortunate that the Palin fans are spewing words like Marxst, Communist, Socialist, etc. It is likely that they cannot define these words, much less point to specific legislation or executive orders to support their position. It is extremely difficult to have an intelligent conversation with someone who's disagreements are founded on falsehoods. But we are talking about Fox News, and the ignorant viewers who watch.
Yes, Fox has great ratings, but they are the sole source of the innacurte hateful messages that fuel the Teabagger movement. Those of us willing to calmly listen to all sides have many more choices, including NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, and CNN. Stick with Fox, folks, and the rest of us will get the facts.
To Tom, Fox has an obligation to ask permission to use former taped interviews. This is considered a standard in the industry. All they have to do is call up and say that they would like to use his interview on the show. All of a five min. call. Not doing so is breaking the law-even though they own the rights to the tape.
So she is having an interview show highlighting interviews with people she hasn't interviewed? Will she be asking the questions the those people have already answered, or will the show be a spliced-together misrepresentation of quotes taken out of context?
What, exactly is her role on the show? I don't get it. And the Foxnews reaction to the critics has been a bit weird, too. Touchy?
Peter – Are you stupid or what!!?? THERE ARE NO JOBS! Liberals DO NOT WANT HANDOUTS! I'm so sick of you idiot Republicans parroting that same stupid comment over and over again I could scream. Democrats ARE FOR THE PEOPLE. We have Compassion, something you apparently don't know anything about. We want everyone or at least most of the people in this country to have a chance at a decent life. It is to YOUR ADVANTAGE if most of the people in this country have decent wages, health insurance and good public education. Why can't you people SEE that? It just floors me how ignorant, stupid and inhumane you people are. Everyone WANTS to work. Greedy corporate America keeps sending the jobs to other countries! What do they think Americans are supposed to do for work? Do you have a clue!? Do you have any actual IDEAS to create jobs for Americans? Just shut up already with the stupid, uninformed comments.
I know "news programs" show older interviews from time to time. The problem I have with Palin's show is that she and her producers did not seek permission to use these interviews for her show. Also, the ads appear that she is interviewing them so that is a bit disceptive. If she and Fox "News" want to be taken seriously, perhaps they should respect their viewers and interviewees. No where have I read that LL Cool J and Toby Keith say that they would not have granted permission. What I have read is that they were not informed or asked about using the old interviews.
HOW CAN WE MISS HER IF SHE WON'T GO AWAY????
Expected tactics of Wingnut "news" and wingnut "news commentator.
Not trying to defend Palin (she deserves more criticism from the media than she recieves imo) but I'm sure she had nothing to do with the promo adds or their content. Thats all on Fox.
I think Izzy is in a tizzy and Tom is just plain dumb. No wonder most all red states rank among the worst in education (i.e. AL, MS, SC etc). Either Palin and Faux news supporters are really stupid (for which they can't help) or easily mislead.
Nothing personal against Palin, but many of these comments are absolutely correct. It's all about her and money. She betrayed the people of AK by quitting after only a year and a half. She promotes violence and hate with the fringe part of the right. She can only conduct an interview if she is well scripted and knows the question ahead of time. Sorry, but I prefer world leaders to be educated and Sarah is definitely not. Her 15 minutes of fame were up a long time ago. I blame McCain for her.
Hookie,
I believe that the real reason people dislike her is that if she were an average looking woman, she wouldn't be given the time of day. Attractive, yes. Smart, no. There are dare I say thousands of smarter women out there, they just don't look as good on TV. Probably why she was chosen to run for VP.
alright already....her 5 minutes has gotta be up.....just go away.......
@Peter, just so you know I HAVE a job. I went to college and graduate school for many, many years and have a job that pays too little. But that's my problem...
Your problem, on the other hand, seems to be that you think all liberals are free-loaders. Most people in this country, liberal or conservative or moderate, work hard for a living. The free-loaders are of all sorts, too - there are as many free-loading conservatives as liberals. Maybe you should grow up instead of pointing fingers and whining.
You know it's funny how this works. When both parties can't think of anything constructive to say the resort to name calling. That is so grown up. What does that kind of behavior teach our children. Children are being charged with crimes for bullying a classmate to commit suicide. What can we expect from them if the adults aren't any better.
Haters!!! Just cant stand it when Fox comes up with more genius. The left is sooo tired and scared of November. Watch out. Some real CHANGE is a comin.
The Joker; did the article say that Toby Keith supported Sarah Palin?? No, it did not. And are you aware of who Toby Keith supported during the presidential campaigning?? No you are not; because Toby Keith very verbally support Obama.....suck it up and go buy an album....
FOX = For Our Xenophobes
Also, the left is not terrified. We all see an idiot who is trying to become the president. Why would we encourage such nonsense?
are you kidding me. Palin like ALL repubs are mad because it getting harder and harder to get money for strip clubs. Palin knows squat. for the first time in years the working class, and the even poorer ones (because we have to pay for the rich class) are finally getting some type of chance to move up to a little less stressful life. The rich are going to have to pay more taxes boo hoo. the working class is what make them rich and we have to struggle. when was the last time Palin worried about any bills being paid. Let her run for Pres. It will be a land slide. even better run her against Hillary. No brainer Hillary would win hands down. Stop being againist Obama he has 8 years of bush, chaney, and his govt putting us here, and now the Dems have to try along with ALL the govt to get us strong again. the repubs stopping everything to destroy Obama now is going to bankrupt all of us. something has to change. Obama is using the tools at his disposal as Pres just like BUSH it was ok for Bush but Obama has to have the repubs permission? Please. Repubs will back Obama IF he agrees with them. Keep going Obama the working people of the country need the help for a change.
whack \o is her name, whack\o job is her game whack\o Whack/- o. whack 0'S @ Faux with Glen Bleck, Sannity, and McShame!.
aproved by we want our country back...whinners.......Tea Baggers!
LIBERAL is the word here. Highlighting the good in someones life is not plagerism but you liberals keep up the good work Sarah just keeps getting more popular elections are coming.
Solution: FOX and Palin should just "Repeal the ad."
Public interviews are the property of the news agency that made them, not the person interviewed. Although it is underhanded, I do not think there is any legal issue with Palin using footage from an old interview.
FOX N FRIENDS!!!! at it again! What a joke of a network.
Stop! Liberals please, the country is a mess and your liberal hand-outs are a joke. Get a job take care of your own, stop begging the country for support! Time to grow up.
I can't wait to see her as a guest judge on American Idol, oops, wrong FOX studio, my bad.
This really is a non-story. It is typical of the media and the irgnorant people on the left to exaggerate the facts. There is nothing wrong with promoting an interview that was taped in the past. It was not advertised as, "a live conversation with Toby Keith." The problem is most people are too stupid to know the facts.
I believe that most people who dislike Palin are women.
I believe many see her as a threat.
They see her as a threat because she has done what many other women have not: develop a very successful career, maintain a close family, remain active in church and community, remain seemingly healthy, appear young and attractive.
The appearance of remaining young and attractive is what I think gets most women who hate her.
They are jealous.
No Kidding that fox owns these clips. It's what's ethical. This is not ethical. Nor is anything that Palin does or says. She's a joke, beginning to be a caricature of herself, just like George Bush. If she ever made it to POTUS, it would be like having Ronald McDonald as your president. Caricature.
Well, Tom... what, exactly, is a White Hosue?
Additionally, do you even KNOW what socialism is? Apparently not. Seems like most fanatical republicans just shout out labels without knowing what they mean.
Try a post of substance next time.
Who cares what any news show or politician thinks.
And FYI, The Dixie Chicks are the one who slammed Toby first.
I really don't care how CNN uses video that they own. The bigger issue for me is what is Fox's fascination with making Sara Palin bigger than what she is? If her supports are so vast then why does Fox have to use old crowd footage of her vice-presidential campaign and pawn it off as a Tea Bag rally? And now Fox has to dust of old interviews for the new show? I think that any rational person should be asking why, what is their agenda?
This doesn't surprise me. The fabrications and lies I have seen since
the 2008 election on Fox has been unbelievable. Fox News – I think needs to change it's name to Fox Entertainment. It sure isn't real news.
I say lock her up and throw away the key! And shut down Fox News!
Alex D you're a waterhead. Last time I checked, the stocks are rising, jobless claims are lowering, and my insurance company is making hand over foot profits because of the new legislation. We're actually creating jobs to keep up with the demand. If you insist on being a blatant moron do the world a favor and take your life. The fact that you think that Palin is smarter than a 3rd grader says alot about your stupidity.
And she wants to be president folks! Sounds like she'll do what she and the rest of the Republicans accuse Obama and the Democrats of doing..."whatever she wants."
Isn't it wonderful that we have the right to free expression of thought.
It's the only way so many people in the absence of any knowledge or facts can say so much about absolutely nothing. 95+% of all the comments posted have nothing to do with the article at hand, they are nothing more then Republicains are stupid and Democrates are Morons. So very intelligent.
Palin give it up.... you will never amount to more then a cheerleader in a movie. Using tricks like this should stay on a street corner not on FOX news.
Putting the LL CoolJay and Toby Keith interviews in the "Half Term Governors" new show is legal. There are no copyright violations because it is Fox News. They do not have to abide by any laws other than the ones they like and poor Sarah, well she just doesn't know better.
@Tom – Did you just cal Toby Keith a Liberal? Now that's funny!
Just like Palin to "ASSume" she can do whatever she wants. Kinda sounds like OJ, Tiger, & Jesse doesn't it?
Palin must have washed her hands and then forgotten what she was supposed to do next.
Typical Palin!!! She thinks she is above the law and better than everyone else!! I am so tired of seeing and hearing about her. If she becomes president I will denounce my US citizenship!!!
Nothing new for Fox. They FAKED current news reports by using old film of protestors. Glenn Beck FAKES tears for photos. Sean Hannity FAKED being willing to be waterboarded for charity. Glenn Beck talks about how bad the dollar is doing while endorsing a company selling gold.
Same level of integrity.
Sarah Palin is a joke!
John Hawk, amen brother, and boy is she pi$$ed.
If anyone thinks that Toby Keith will NOT allow his previously recorded interview to be aired by the Palin Camp – they would be greatly mistaken.
Mr. Keith is a huge Bush Fan – the man has written songs about his devotion. Doesn't anyone remember the ongoing airwave wars between Toby Keith and The Dixie Chicks?
You can count on Faux News to bring you the latest errm some video and splice it together to make it look like current news i.e. Tea Party March on DC with video footage of a totally different gathering on DC claiming the Tea Party Crew had hundreds of thousands of people attending lol
Wow.. I just saw the comment about Fox owning the comments being used to help Palin's show. They say they are fair and balanced?!!! No bias? No spin? Who are they kidding?!
Palin is angry that she and John McCain lost the election; there's nothing more dangerous than an angry woman
Oh yea I forgot I don't think Toby intended for his interview to be in support of Sara's agenda.
Someone PLEASE take the "L" out of her last name and realize just what she is causing the majority of Americans....
So, what is the problem with this?
I believe the interview was originally done by Fox News, so they own it. Sarah Palin is now a correspondent for Fox News, so she can use what they own. If the interview was done by another news agency, then this event would be newsworthy.
What is the issue, other than a liberal knee-jerk response at an oppurtunity to bash Palin?
Has anyone actually thought about what you are saying? This is HOSTED by Palin. She is not the one doing all this. The Fox network is. They are putting this together and got her to host it. This is the half truth stuff liberal are known for. Taking a small section of something and blowing up about it. So far I have read everything from insults to wanting to drown her in a 5-gallon bucket. Man, when you all don't know or care to find out the facts on anything you are sure like to say what ever you think. No wonder why Fox is number 1, just read these comments from the individuals who watch CNN and MSNBC. If Keith Oberman was doing the exact same show and the exact same thing would have happen, you all would be crying out for support of him. Bunch of hypocrites.
jUST ANOTHER STUPID ACT FROM S P:) SHE WILL EVENTUALLY DESTROY HERSELF.
Duh, read the fine print...if I were you, Toby, I would get a new rep.!
This is what happens when you combine a sleazy network with a hillbilly!
Why so much hatred for Mrs. Palin? She is not the idiot that is screwing up everything. Its the politicians running the White House Right now! Mrs. Palin is a very smart woman and she should be President!
If I were Toby, I would be more upset about being referred to as a "she" in the article above..And take that stupid looking hat off!!
"Too bad if Toby Keith or LL Cool J or any other left wing entertainer doesn't like the person hosting the show."
Tom, did you just insinuate Toby Keith is a "left wing entertainer"? It must be April Fools Day...
With or without the use of false advertising other peoples work, her show will fail anyways. Hardly anybody likes to see her anymore. She's in the same catagory as Kate Gosselin or Kathy Lee Gifford talking about her kids all the time. Gets old and stale. Also tired of seeing her glasses that look like racquetball safety glasses. Just go away Palin.
And to think, millions of people voted for her. Scary.
The left is getting "terrified"? I think not. I'm somewhere in the middle, but I'm more impressed w/Obama now than I was before he was elected....are you kidding? Name one president who's accomplished what this man has. It's more liket the paranoid right is going hysterical and desparate because they are looking like obstinate old fools with no new ideas or solutions. I'm enjoying the show. Love it when the right calls the left "uneducated" ; pretty laughable.
Paul Yuhas: What planet are you living on dude? Our faces don't turn blue, we just laugh like hell. Sarah Palin is so incredibly unimportant it's hilarious. John McCain might very well have won the presidency had he not chosen this bimbo as his running mate. He did. The result? One of the biggest landslides in American presidential elections. And you say she's going to be in the White House? Maybe as a tour guide. Hell, her own party won't elect her in a primary. You and your ilk are so incredibly out of touch. Also, to all you morons who think this country is so "socialist," this is what you need to do: opt out of Social Security benefits, opt out of Medicaid, don't call police or firemen when you're in trouble. Unbelievable how ignorant you all are.
LET'S SEE.. First of all I'm in the middle of the road.
I shouldn't care about other pepole getting health care since I'm a veteran and retired military but I do.
1. Sarah Palin resigned from her Governorship half way through her first term.
2.. Little bush robbed the Social Security fund that had a surplus.
3. Little bush Got us in a big mess in the middle east oh Sadam can't shoot off his mouth anymore the troops get that credit.
4. Yes we lost a lot of pepole in 9/11 which a awful, terrible tragedy. we have now lost more pepole from the war than was lost on 9/11.
5. They (the righty's) created a phony perscription drug program designed by the drug companies. Do you know any senior that takes very many medications you get to the "doughnut Hole" pretty quickly.
I want all you pro-right pepole to tell me where the savings should come from. What do you want to cut out. I find it hard to believe that you are all Retired CEO's with a golden parachute pension.
My hat is off to the Troops and others that have served in those wars and all the previous wars.
Sarah Palin's show was to feature good people, telling their story not to interview them. This is pure and simple hate politics and faux concern by the Liberal Palin Haters which are the true "teabaggers".
Isn't this called stealing and lying basically? I thought Palin was all for having "values".
LL Cool J is a current actor on NCIS and an influential artist in the music industry... So that answers the question of Who is LL Cool J these days. Secondly, the problem people have is that Palin is using the interviews without letting the people know that she is going to recycle their old interviews. Don't get mad that people don't want their name associated with her. Thirdly, Sarah Palin is an imbecile and so are the people who continue to support her. What exactly has she accomplished in Alaska? She quit in the middle of her job to pursue other interests that would garner her more cash. Period. I am sick to death of her winking and notes on her hand.
I really do not understand how anyone can take this woman seriously. She has some talent as a comedian and maybe should go in that direction. But she apparently lacks the ability and talent to score her own interviews. More than likely, from past experience, Fox does not have the confidence that Ms. Palin has the gravitas to be able to think on her feet to consistently conduct interviews of any substance.
Tom, you are wrong. Fox owns the clip, yes, but that does not give them the right to manipulate and misrepresent it. That is a violation of journalism ethics.
Wow, one 15 minute famer claiming to interview another. Both of the two are in danger of disappearing entirely during the interview.
Just like Fox, misleading again. Now what are they going to say to make it look like its Toby Keith fault like the snarky comment
they made for LL Cool J
Ahhhhh, typical lefties.............so terrified of Palin it's not even funny. Check that...........YES IT IS!!!
If she's as irrelevent as you claim, why don't you quit obsessing about her (i.e. commenting on the countless articles about her) and pay more attention to the nimrod you put in the White House? Believe me, he needs as many eyes watching him every second of every day as possible!
What I think is even more hilarious is that you all acting like fools. ...democrats this, republicans that...why pigeon hole yourself into an ideology that cannot possibly conform to all your views? Or worse yet, why try to cram or conform your views to something as rigid as democrat or republican?
And why be ignorant and think that ANY media is better than the other?? Whether its CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NYT, whatever. All they care about is the bottom dollar, and sensationalizing the news. Fox caters to the extreme right because it is the money pot. (not to mention the "liberals" who tune in just to see how crazy those "rightwing" nutjobs are) It is no different for the other media outlets. Whether it be Fox, Cnn, etc, the important thing is that you think for YOURSELF.
Take a break from hating on someone because they are republican or democrat, and try to have a rational conversation, and try to do be a decent human being. Yikes people.
Socalmama
You don't seem to understand teenagers, the mom being home doesn't prevent pregnancy. Obama should be home, if we go off your logic.
I am a Producer in Nebraska, and use releases on a regular basis when it comes to shooting talent.
I am vehemently opposed to both Fox News and Sarah Palin, but one thing has to be mentioned here: It's not about who you like, it's about what you signed. Here is a partial release form, which is very typical in the industry:
For value received, I agree and consent that __(Production Co.)__ Inc. and its nominees and assigns may use any motion pictures, still photographs, videotape recordings, magnetic tape recordings, optical recordings, digital recordings taken of _(talent)_____ on ___ of ___, 2010, for ___(Project Name)___ or any preproduction thereof, in any form, style or color, together with any writing and/or other advertising and/or publicity material in connection therewith, including the use of my name, as they may select.
This consent and release is given by me without limitations upon any use for projection, playback, reprints, rerun, broadcast, telecast.......
That is the gist of any release. They may vary, but the point is that if the talent signed it, that's what they have to put up with.
People should really learn to spell before they post their opinions. These are the same morons that are allowed to vote.
Todd M,
You don't need approval to run an 'old' onterview if you own the interview already.
Tom-
Sara running all over the country since she quit her JOB. Quit........
Maybe if she did her job as a MOM her teenager would have not been a young mother.
Sambo, when you say, go for it Sarah, we are with you, you need to realize that all the right wing sheep are with her, right off the cliff of reason into the depths of deception. Go for it, Sambo.
Shouldn't we just expect this kind of underhanded trick from Fox "News" and Sarah Palin by now?
This sounds like a "Real American Story"!
jmctigue,
When did they call it a news show?
To all, the post above is unclear if Fox owns the interviews they were planning to run. At the very least, it makes Fox look stupid when they don't even get the basic approvals to run old interviews that they were touting. I don't think it's any reflection on Sarah Palin. She's not producing the show, except in name only.
The other thing is, is this show going to be just a rehash of old interviews or is she going to get real guests? Wouldn't you want to make a splash with big name guests on your first show? If not, then I can watch reruns of talk shows any time. Use the Google.
What can you expect when you combine FOX with Sarah Palin? The ads for the show implied that these were to be new interviews. In fact one FOX personality said she was jealous of Sarah for getting to talk with LL Cool J. Her interviews are like her thoughts, not original. Maybe she could next interview Ronald Regan or Richard Nixon.
dream on Michele,
Palin quit as governor of Alaska. you truly are a nutjob if you think she will ever be in the white house
If Toby Keith disses this project, he is history in this house (and we have worked hard when he was a nobody to make him a somebody). Read the hate and meanness from the left above – Toby, do you want to be part of that?
I know Palin is hosting the show, but is she producing it as well. If she is then, yeah it's her fault. If not, then everyone is making her the scapegoat. The producers, not the host, are responsible for making sure everything is, pardon the expression, "kosher".
I still can't believe they are calling this a "News Show" or even some highly sheltered people are thinking it is just because fox calls it one.
jane,
How did they mislead anyone?
When I read the comments of people like Lenny, Jam EZ, Jennifer, jack, The Joker III and Nobodys Perfecft I know why we are such a mean spirited society. Collect your unemployment, have the government take care of you and watch the tube. Pathetic.
Hmm seems to me you Palin supporters ought to check your mouths and your facts before you let your sewage out.
I know with LL Cool J, Faux News took an old interview which was not with Sarah Palin and when LL Cool J called the liars out....they removed the LL Cool J interview which makes me think they didn't "own" any of the interviews.
As for Sarah's supposed supporters, Elizabeth Hasselbeck of the view who is ultra conservative said that Palin's went beyond the pale when she suggested all you nuts jobs reload and then put crosshairs over the states where they voted for Health Care.
Maybe you people should also check out the French President's interview when he said his country (and pretty much all of Europe) don't understand why our citizens do not want the poor and disadvantaged to not have health care, and why they are so bitterly opposed to a basic human right....and down right selfish.
I suspect a lot of the tea party movement are using health care as an excuse, and it is because of the color or our President's skin that they object to all of his policies they are just too cowardly to admit it in public.
How very sad you all are.
FOX NEWS beats out CNN, MSNBC, and all other news programs, FOX NEWS is where you will get the truth and not the bias NEWS from the other networks. It looks like the Democratic Losers are back again with their hateful comments. Keep it up November 2010 is comming and it will be a great victoury for the good guys, the Republicans.
Not exactly the first time Palin or Fox News has misled viewers.
Carolyn
You ever watch TMZ? How often do they get permission?
Tom....go back to Faux, Beck needs his shoes shined.
Where's O'Reilly in this?
No relevance here, just thought I'd stir the pot.
Is Sara making things up again?
Unfortunately, FOX did the interviews, which LL and Toby both agreed to at the time, for the very same program indicated. What they didn't tell them was that Sarah Palin was going to be the host. First mistake was being interviewed by FOX!! They should have known better, they should have known what kind of news FOX slants towards!
Regardless of whether or not we like Palin, LL or Toby, the show will move forward, and draw much criticism. Maybe this is Palin's way of generating media attention. I certainly don't believe that LL or Toby wanted to create this sort of publicity for themselves.
There is not much either party (LL or Toby) can do at this point. They certainly can't sue, they agreed to the interview when it was taped.
As unfortunate as it is. The upside is that Palin's attempt at reentering the living rooms of the American people in a really positive and uplifting way backfired horribly. Actually makes me chuckle.
Socalmama,
Obama needs to go home and be a DAD.
what a tasteless woman
I majored in Journalism back in the '70's. We were taught that you never wrote a story, quoted someone, ran a broadcast about them, etc. without getting their permission first. If I watched this show, and saw Sarah Palin talking about these "Real American Stories" I would, of course, think that she had their permission to air these "previously recorded" interviews. I don't have a problem with Mrs. Palin having her own show, but do have a problem with her using famous American's stories, without asking them first. It seems wrong to me. She should do the research, interview the participants, etc. if she wants to use these Americans as examples.
I am sure that Palin is just the face of the program. There is no way she decides content. You want to call yourselves progressive people, but you all are just mean people.
Sara-
She needs to go home and be a MOM.
Sara Palin has made you liberals and liberal feminists look awfully bad. She has outsmarted you and now has earned much more than most of you. I guess sending all those liberal reporters to find dirt on her helped her to find gold. You deserve it. Go cry to the DNC.
The ignorant Liberals in here are hilarious.
To Tom:
Palin and her husband are such proud Americans that they belonged to the coalition in Alaska that wanted to secede from the U.S. gee, love your country so much, eh? they didn't even want to be considered as part of the U.S.A. they just want to keep laughing at suckers like you Tom..all the way to the bank! get a grip
No surprise here. Fox is a merely a political propaganda machine – kinda like Sein Fein, the political wing of the old IRA. It should not be confused with a true journalistic operation ala the better traditions of the 4th estate. Accordngly, journalistic ethics are not a big concern for Fox.
Why can't people in low places just leave good people alone?
I read that Sarah Palin has asked the Republican National Committee to remove her name from ads promoting some fundraising events because the ads erroneously suggest she may participate in those events. Not unlike using old interviews (by the way she did not even conduct the interviews) with LL Cool J and Toby Keith to promote her new TV show when they have no plans to appear on that show. Sweet!!!
Let them run all of these non authorised segments, then sue the pants off of them. Sometimes morons will only understand when they get hit in the wallet for their stupidity.
Tom. Not only can we read and write and use a computer. We invented them and OUR president knows how to use the correct plural form. Imagine that. Internet not INTERNETS. You got your GED now lets work on that assoc. degree before you start calling liberals stupid. Look at the polls. Republicans=undereducated, white (although not all) voters in rural areas. That's a fact my friend.
Lenny, learn to spell.
Very typical.. this is Palins new strategy, it's called "going rogue". It's where she makes up new rules and laws as she goes and just kind of flies by the seat of her pants.
Toby Keith is a democrat.
http://washingtonscene.thehill.com/in-the-know/36-news/3173-toby-keith-a-democrat-also-surprised-to-be-included-in-palins-fox-news-show-
So, Fox owns the rights to the interview clip and they can do whatever they want with it.
___________________________________________________
No they can't. That's why both intereviews were pulled back. Faux Noise is stupid and they got caught. I wouldn't want my name associated with Palin the Quitter either. Good for you LL Cool J.
Tom – do you understand what the first amendment is? People that love to yell "freedom of speech" have no idea what they are talking about. The first amendment is between the government and the poeple, it has no role in this case whatsoever. Nice try though loser
Let's hope the ravenous right wing Republicans do nominate the air-head.
What thsi will mean is Obama's a lock for 2012.
Waaaaaaaaaa!
typical Sarah Palin........pulls s–t from know where.
Funny how intimidated you all are of this woman...hahahaha....just cause she is more of a women or human being than any of u loud mouth morons
Anyone who has a problem with Foxnews, a real news agency that reports facts, and bows down to CNN and MSNBC's peddled crap, won't realize they're mindless drones till the government takes their property and right to eat whatever they want.
Sarah is a complete whack job!
I can identify with Sarah. I created imaginary friends when I was little too. Of course... all my imaginary friends became best friends with each other and then would have nothing to do with me......
Removing my opinion about Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals... (the election was a year & a half ago. move on with your life.)
Regardless of whether or not it's legal for Fox to air those interviews – and I haven't seen the contracts they signed, so how do I know – it's certainly unethical and downright rude not to contact the interviewees before you air them on your show. Whether that was Sarah's decision or some nameless tv exec, it's a terrible idea. Potentially she had a relatively interesting show set up but now, no one will take it seriously. Palin set herself up for this, so I guess it's her own fault, but I do feel a little sorry for her.
My Grandma would call that kind of behavior, a snake in the grass!
"Head Diva" (how cute) seems to have much more in common with things she attacks then she thinks. Tell me...why is it you would assume Toby would be "more than happy to be part of a Palin special"? That's a rhetorical question....we all know the answer and recognize the hypocrisy (though a liberal likely wouldn't have the honest nature to admit they recognize it). Toby Keith is a lifelong DEMOCRAT. You would know this if you chose to season yourself before popping off....but doing such a thing would mean automatic revocation of your liberal membership card, now wouldn't it?
Fox is no different than MSNBC, CNN, or any of the other liberal garbage mills....they are just the conservative alternative. You liberals freakin kill me with the proud hypocrit badges you wear on your shirts....right next to the feelings you wear on your sleeves. I don't much care for Palin either – but think big girls and boys should address the lack of integrity in their own house before throwing empty cans at others.
So typical of the Fox News / Palin tactics –
You don't have to be left wing to dislike Palin. You just have to be left of her positions, which is just about everyone in America except those on the extreme end of the right wing.
If the media quit writing about Palin, she would fade very rapidly from the scene. But, she is attractive and empty-headed (read bim*o), and as long as people with nothing better to do will read about her, the media will continue to sell advertising space.
THis is so funny to watch. Every one of you that is writing in and bashing Sarah Palin is TERRIFIED. You are getting scared because this man you voted in as president is screwing up and you voted him in and now we the so called nutjobs we are on fire and ready to fight. Go Team Palin, lets take it all the way to the WHite House in 2012
Hey C'mon! We ALL Know Toby! He WILL get even if he did not authorize it! He does NOT sit around and let the crap happen. He WILL have his day, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride Toby will give! Big Dog Daddy don't let this shi* happen!! He WILL make his stand – – – – – at the appropriate time. You can BET on that! It IS TOBY we are talking here!
Oh, like the NY Times doesn't do this WEEKLY!!! And at least no one's saying they were misquoted. Just surprised the footage was used. A lot better than the liberal "All The News that's Fit To Make Up" NY Times.
For the record, Toby Keith (surprisingly) supported Obama during the 08 cycle, and even went on the record with his appreciation for someone to bring about change. He didn't really trumpet his support as this would likely alienate a lot of his fanbase. Sadly, his music appeals to mouthbreathing xenophobes and at least he's wise enough to know that...
As for Palin: there's nothing wrong with her that I couldn't fix with a time machine and a 5-gallon bucket of water 🙂
As for Faux News, they're not even worth commenting on...
I find it interesting that she gets a TLC special about Alaska. Didn't she desert her home state because of the elections and she didn't want to be considered a "lame duck." If you read between the lines and her teases hair and lipstick. . .she didn't want to be in Alaska when she could headline at the nearest strip mall in Idaho.
People trip me out on this site...when it comes to news Fox is the source....when it comes to imbeciles comments I go to CNN....who is LL Cool J these days, the actor of a corney show....he is so old I think Palin was doing him a favor, THE FOOL....I put my money on Palin!!!!
Why am I not surprised that Palin's camp would pull something like this. She's a publicity seeking nut job.
As usual the name Sarah Palin is not associated with anything of substance. She and Fox News deserve each other!!!
So is this what the Sarah Palin show is going to be, clips of old interviews with people who don't want any part of her show? It's obvious she has no talent or qualifications to be doing anything on TV, so I guess this is the nonsense they're going to pull to hide her utter lack of talent and brains.
It's apparent she can't get any guests the rest of us would want to even hear from so she has to resort to using old interviews, done by someone else, of people that the majority will want to see. But, she did it so underhandedly, I'm glad they are speaking up! And it's obvious THEY don't want to be associated with it. Is this what she would do if she were in office? Take old interviews that other presidents have done and try to take credit for them???? unreal. And what's worse, John McCain is still trying to use her to win his seat again! They both just need to get on one of those littles rafts they set out to sea and we won't ever have to hear from them again!
This just in:
Sarah Palin's new show to air an interview with MLK and JFK. Word on the street is that Palin sought permission to use the old interviews but when no responses were received, she decided to go ahead anyway.

No one is "afraid" of this woman!! There is nothing to be afraid of except her rhetoric which causes some people to foam at the mouth. Anyone with half a brain can see what she is all about – Sarah Palin and money!!!! I thought she quit her job to spend more time with her family. Funny, haven't seen anybody with her lately. All she does is traipse across the country spewing her idiocity and ignorance. She is just a human megaphone in heels!!!
Mike
So, what was Nobama's track record before he cheated and lied his way into he White Hosue? Socialist? Marxist? Radical Community Organizer? Acorn Mentor? Chicago Thug Politicain?
I tell you, this blog site is no challenge at all. It's like arguing with idiots.
I think what nobody's mentioned is the fact that the promo was structured in a way to imply endorsement of the show.
The fact is that Palin is a political figure. I think this would be different if the host of the show wasn't involved in a presidential campaign. Using these interviews, perhaps these people feel that implies endorsement of their political views.
How can any of these Republicans even think the word 'values'? They don't even know what it means! 'Ethics' is also another word they don't know.
Writer Tom is in need of real help quickly. He attacks the NY Times and other media formats as typical of a republican – any news issues which are against his point of view, are wrong. This person is an example of why America is losing the intelligence war. And these same folks huddle around their tv and think Fox news is a real show? Anyone who thinks Palin is a valid candidate for any office, we can only hope it never comes true! It will surely be the end of western civilization as we know it today!
Most media credit or identify their sources, unlike Fox which should be renamed Faux News, all the news for right wingers who don't necessarily care for the truth!
Apparently, Palin is having trouble finding famous people who will associate with her voluntarily. Faux "News" is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also now owns the Wall Street Journal, which has turned considerably to the right since he bought it. I used to subscribe to it, but I have lost all respect for it now that it is another Murdoch propaganda tool.
I'm just a "dumb liberal" but, I'm smart enough to understand that, when Fox interviewed thus guy – AND PAID HIM – they acquired legal right to use that interview whenever they want. In other words, THEY OWN IT!!! They got "permission" to use it when they contracted with him to do the interview. There us no need, no expectation, to go through that process again. And, you KNOW that. You just don't want to accept it.
Tom states above:
"Wow. I didn't think so many left wing liberal nut jobs could actually read and write let alone use a computer.
Oh wait a minute. that's right. This is CNN: LIberal Progressive Central! That explains alot. Don't forget to go to MSNBC for more jiberish rantings."
Hey Tom – and that makes you What, and you are here Why? Obviously you're one of those misguided right wing nut jobs still looking for a place to fit in, much like Palin herself.
Hey jimbo, really? The Republicans are the ones wanting to put more money in their pockets?! Wow, you did fall of the turnip truck! It's the Democrats that have been trying to run our country into the ground for years while putting big money in their own wallets off the working class peoples backs.
Bridget, Palin has a "track record"? She didn't even finish a SINGLE TERM as state governor. She has ZERO "track record". Boy does she have you fooled.
I love that you loonies love Sarah Palin. I hope you have her run for president...it would the the greatest gift you could offer progressives! It would be like the Dems nominating Sean Penn. Think about it.
First, all of you Palin-bashers are misinformed morons. Do you know anything about Palin other than Tina Fey's portrayal? Read her book... if you can't read, there is an audio version. No, she's not a genius, but she has some pretty good ideas about repairing the health of this country and its economy and she has a proven track record to back it up.
Second, no one has to ask permission to air an old interview. He gave permission when the interview took place and they can run it anytime for any purpose.
Finally, if you think Nancy Grace and Joy Behar are NEWS, then no wonder you are raking Fox over the coals. You are unaware of what real news actually is.
Good luck with your continued obliviousness.
Wow. I didn't think so many left wing liberal nut jobs could actually read and write let alone use a computer.
Oh wait a minute. that's right. This is CNN: LIberal Progressive Central! That explains alot. Don't forget to go to MSNBC for more jiberish rantings.
Bwahaha! Palin is toxic. The unprecedented downard spiral of the lunatic-fringe right wing continues...
Who cares what you dimwit lefty Obamaunators like? Toby won't make a big deal out of it. FOX owns the interview and doesn't need his permission for jack. You go Sarah! I love it when the lefties faces all turn blue every time she speaks–sic 'em girl, sic 'em!
Why is everyone so afraid of Sarah Palin, and she is as good a
mom and Obama is a dad! they both have help raising their
children , her husband and his wife
Although I have a feeling Toby is more then happy to be part of a Palin special, it's really shade ball of Fox not to contact these people. I mean, why wouldn't they want new interviews to lure people into the Palin ring of fire?
Sambo – we are NOT all with you... we detest and loathe a money-grabbing political wannabe....
How stupid is Sarah Palin? Probably smarter than the fools who think she might be 'president'.
Interesting that she's doing this and a few month complained that another magazine used pictures of her working out without her approval.
Tom, Fox does NOT have the right to use clips that were assented to by the interviewee. Especially to promote the vacuous one.
LB yes he's the one...he's a moran all on his own in my opinion .... but I'm sure that's not a popular opinion to share ... lol
We call it FOX NEWS so that the insane, hard-right conservative nutjobs in our country can feel good about themselves when they watch their televised talk program – because in their minds, its not just talk afterall - its the news!
Bluntly speaking: Palin wants to connect with the type of fans someone like Keith typically reels in, so in order to connect she wants to steal a few minutes under the spotlight with him, whether he likes it or not!
Did God tell her not to conduct her own inverviews. How's that plagarizing working out for ya! Faux news may have cancel this "special" if the participants keep objecting. Not everyone can be Oprah !
Go Sara go we are all with you ....
Toby is the one that dissssssed the Dixie Chicks? I recall?
Palin is out for herself – even the republicans are backing away from her. Please don't lump all the republicans with her – that's not fair. It's like saying all democrats are blonde.
It is Fox need I say anything else. A name you can not trust.
Wow. Some producer is going to lose their job. How irresponsible.
This is unreal .... makes me wonder if they had permission for ANY of the interviews in the program. My respect for FOX keeps getting lower an lower .... can't get anyone famous to come out right and support Palin today ...so drudge up some old interviews of some celebs to make it look like they want to be a part of her and her agenda .... pathetic
So, Fox owns the rights to the interview clip and they can do whatever they want with it.
Lenny is obviouisly a liberal who doesn't belive in the freedom of speach unless it works in his favor. Double standard.
This program highlights the person's accomplishments in life and is not politcal. Dah!
Too bad if Toby Keith or LL Cool J or any other left wing entertainer doesn't like the person hosting the show.
This is not "under handed" as claimed by Lenny. It happens all the time in media. This is why some controversial people will not go on certain talk shows for fear that it will be used to put them in the wrong light. Just ask the NY Times. They are masters at twisting the facts to spin their politcal agenda. ANother deia group that chooses this tact is CNN and MSNBC.
Boy , it's pretty sad when you have to fabricate supporters to promote you!!
I'm not surprised Palin, just like any republican will do or say anything if they think it will put more money in their pocket. After all what could be more important than that.
The Joker – read the article again. Toby Keith is NOT in support of Failin Palin – she just took his interview off the shelf from some other network to use for her show.
Typical move for Failin Palin ... just take what she wants and not think of the consequences. Oh, sorry, forgot who I was writing about ... let's leave out the not "think" part 'cause we know she doesn't think. **wink wink
what a supid sob.....I will never buy another one of his albums if he is indeed a support of the unfit mon Palin
TYPICAL OF FOX NEWS
and tell me again....why do we keep calling it Fox "NEWS"
Why am I not suprised?
thia is a very under handed trick and violate copt right, that only benefit Palin agenda of lies and tricks.
