Going to take your ball and go home, Sarah?

Fox News stops paying Sarah Palin to go on television but she's invited to appear for free
By Margarita Noriega, June 24, 2015

Governor Sarah Palin needs no introduction. She has stayed in the media spotlight years after her failed run for the White House in 2008, including as a contributor on Fox News. Since that time, Palin resigned as Alaska's governor, compared waterboarding to baptism, got mixed up in a family brawl, and launched an eponymous digital television channel. She was also a contributor on Fox News until today.

We don't know the exact reason why, as Mike Allen wrote today, Palin was "dumped" by Fox News. Palin's contract is, however, over:
Palin, 51, is expected to make occasional guest appearances on Fox and Fox Business, and will appear on other networks and cables. She has a show on the Sportsman Channel, does a lot of speeches, and will announce a new publishing project soon.
"Does a lot of speeches" bring in enough income to support the Palins? Speaking fees for the would-be VP vary by location, according to her profile on the Washington Speakers Bureau website, which has a now-outdated reference to her contributor role at Fox News. Still, a years-old rumor has Palin's fee pegged to about $100,000. We're guessing the governor doesn't mind an outdated speaker profile in the meantime.
