The only problem with talking about Sarah Palin is that she works here, and it’s like a coworker. And if I say something bad and I see her in the hallway I feel really awkward and wrong. So I just kind of say, ‘that was a good job.

Fox News Host Greg Gutfield, on covering news related to Sarah Palin

Check out The Atlantic’s “Fox News Employees Acknowledge Their Sarah Palin Problem” for more.

What makes Fox News different [ from other news organizations] is its use of commentators who aren’t just participants in America’s public conversation about politics, but prominent players in the game itself. If one of your core beats is covering the conservative movement, it’s problematic to employ, as a multimillion-dollar asset, a frequent news-maker and campaigner who for some time seemed a possible presidential candidate. It is to the credit of Gutfeld and Beckel that they’re now being transparent about that fact.”
