Palin And Fox Break Up
Palin's contract with Fox News is up, and the news today is that Fox is not renewing. Palin, who was paid a reported $1 million per year as a contributor to FOX since mid-January 2010 when FOX announced her signing, may not have made quite the splash her employers had hoped during this three-year period, and would, on occasion go … Read More
