Default Faux Noize terminates Santorum & Gingrich ?

Fox News announced on Wednesday that it had suspended the contracts of two contributors, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, who are considering running for president.

Today

When Pundits Run for President - Room for Debate - NYTimes.com



A network executive said having Mr. Gingrich on the payroll while he was exploring a run for office was "a clear conflict."

The network may have been worried that the air time for the potential candidates could have been considered free advertising.

Three other possible Republican candidates — Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee and John Bolton — remain employed by Fox.

Politicians can put themselves in front of voters in all kinds of media venues, not to mention online sites.

Does drawing a bright line for TV employment make sense when politics, entertainment and news have become so thoroughly blended ?





Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich were both contributors to Fox News

It's so they will be able, along with many others, to go out and sell books under the guise of running for president.
