Sarah Palin Soon To Fail In Next TV Gig

From Fox News then to TLC then to the Sportsman Channel then to her recently aborted web show, Sarah Palin’s television career has spiraled down to smaller and smaller audiences. Now she’s signed a deal to guest host for a show on a far-right cable channel you’ve likely never heard about, the One America News Network, which claims to be available in 10% of US homes. Palin’s one-week run on the show is apparently a test for a permanent gig. Via press release:

One America News Network, “OAN”, a trusted source for 24/7 national and international news, announced today that Governor Sarah Palin will be guest hosting One America News Network’s political talk show “On Point” the week of August 24th. “On Point with Guest Host Sarah Palin” will air nightly in prime time at 10 PM ET, beginning Monday, August 24th through Friday August 28th. “I didn’t get into public service to do the safe and easy things. A ship in harbor is safe, but that’s not why the ship is built!” said Palin. “I’m excited for this opportunity to give voice to so many Americans we hear from every day, and the concerns about our future, and how best to fix the problems. Sitting back behind the desk instead of in the hot seat is an enjoyable and welcomed temporary return to my roots. I’m thrilled to guest host “On Point,” she concludes. Palin began her career in broadcasting.

One America, which bills itself as more conservative than Fox News, used to broadcast out of studios in the offices in the wingnut Washington Times.
