There are four people who have in their mind one thing, will they run for president? These people are Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Mike Huckabee. Not only are they thinking about running for president, they are making a fat pay check for no reason at all. Fox News asked for one favor, and that is to keep their information to themselves. If they do so, they will be handed a pay check. It is as almost there four people are exclusive to Fox News. This is starting a little spark and anger between other news stations.
These four paying contributors are starting to piss off the news networks, and starting to create rivals. All the rivals want is some feedback of what is happening and keeping updated on the Presidential race, and they cant receive nothing. They are almost as if they were called, "the Fox candidates." Fox doesn't own these people, so it is really not fair to the others. C-Span tried interviewing Palin, and Palin straight up said she needed permission from Fox, if not then sorry. This same thing happened to several other news stations.
Fox news stated that once these people are elected or declared Presidency, they have all the rights to deal with the media. Even though the (president) will be being interviewed for being elected president at the time, they probably will be also be getting shit from news networks on why they never talked before. Palin, Gingrich, Santorum, and Huckabee are not being forced at any time to keep quiet and stick with Fox, as a matter in fact, they can bounce when ever they want. They signed a contract, but it can be broken at any time.
To me i feel like so far Fox are been in power over these candidates with one tool, and that is the paycheck. The longer these four remain "undecided," the longer and the fatter the paycheck with be. With this paycheck it prevents these people from talking with any other news networks. To me it isnt fair to the others, but at the same time, its business. So far this year surprisingly, none of the four have appeared on any other television, except for Gingrich. He has appeared two times on ABC, and three times on NBC in January. I wonder if he asked for permission or felt that he should. I wonder if anything has happened ever since that incident. But on the other hand Palin appeared in Iowa, and they were disappointed that she failed to meet with the local officials, and wouldn't take any advice. Yet, she followed her orders like she should have.
This whole thing i believe is about the power a news network can gain over people. And to me, they are doing a pretty good job. For them to keep four HUGE people that may take roll in our country one day mouths shut, is pretty big. This person can make a huge impact on our lives, and we can't even find out what or how they will. But we can find out on the Fox News.
