Reflection on "Fox primary: complicated, contractual"

Reading this article made me think that these four candidates and Fox news are being shady. They mainly spoke of Sarah Palin and her potential run for President, and how as a contributor she gets a paycheck. Which is great for her, but being exclusively to a network seems a little weird to me. I think it would be more normal if a former governor or something (whatever political position one held) had a contract with a network that made them exclusive, but to have someone who is currently in office just seems like Fox is trying to buy people off. And to add in the factor that four of their contributors are more than likely to be running for President... Shady. I think Fox is clever for keeping their contracts in tact for so long, as for the candidates it has both good and bad in it. Good since they are able to get national air time, and a pay check while bad because they don't get to speak with other networks and broaden their social network. I can't wait to see when people start announcing that they are in fact running for President. It will be interesting to see how the press responds.
