FOX News Employee Calls Sarah Palin a Zealot (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, August 29, 2012, 7:35 AM
Last night Sarah Palin was interviewed on FOX News after the RNC Convention speeches.
At the 1:34 mark it sounds like a FOX commentator called Sarah Palin a zealot.
Conservatives for Palin reported:
Before posting this video, my co-editors and I detected what we heard as someone saying the word “zealot” in the above video at 1:34 while the Governor was speaking. We verified the separate version of the video posted at RightScoop by asking the site owner and they heard it there as well.
It has now hit Twitter and Jedediah Bila says it best: “What .The. Hell.”
Absolutely unbelievable. I am no expert on microphone or feedback issues. But, I do know that two completely separate versions of the video (ours from SarahNet and the version RS put up) both have the soundbite at the exact same time mark.
Coincidentally, this happened a couple hours after Governor Palin went on to talk with Mark Levin about certain party bosses trying to strip power away from the grassroots.
Apparently some over at Fox News are so protective of Chris Christie, that an innocent “got to that point” comment on his speech was enough for someone over there to refer to Governor Palin as a “zealot.” Whoever said it will probably go on unknown and given their reporting throughout the entire primary process, I cannot say we can expect Fox News to come forward and offer the Governor an apology.
But they still owe her one. Whatever their problem is, this was a completely unprofessional move by Fox News. Enough is enough!

I think that we heard a partial word. I don’t think that it’s “zealot.” It sounds like the producer commands were piped through somehow. It sounded electronic. Let’s not look for trouble without actual hard evidence.
Granny commented:
How is this surprising? The days of “Fair and Balanced” at Fox News disappeared quite some time ago.
idesign commented:
I head it, and I’d bet money that it was Brit Hume.
Sasja commented:
Cargosquid is probably right. I heard something but could not identify the word; it did sound electronic. This is another much ado about nothing moment.
Sasja commented:
To really enjoy the convention, I would suggest turning to C-Span. If you want commentary, you can always visit the networks later.
Nate commented:
She is a zealot, look up the definitions. God forbid someone on Fox doesn’t carry the big ‘R’ republican water. Palin is not a Reagan republican, she is the conservative opposite of Obama with skeletons in her closet too. Don’t be an RNC zombie and think for yourselves. Don’t oogle over someone that is more committed to the spot light than raising her own family in a commendable manner. How many of you with special needs children find so much time to jetset all over the country and engage in so many speaking events? Right. Really ‘one of us’???

It sounds like Shepard Smith’s voice doesn’t it?
Campfollower commented:
This was peanuts when you compare it to Juan Williams’ use of the words “corporate wife” as a pejorative. Since when does being the wife of a business man mean you are less than qualified to comment?
Just a dumb, “cared for” wife? Juan is displaying the hypocrisy of the left, yet again. Sounds like a war on women to me, but wait, it’s the wrong side disparaging women now, isn’t it?

Sounds like Sheppard Smith’s undertaker voice…..out of all those working at the FOX hole Shep is the most committed agenda activist to to inject himself into news and work sabatogue….Here he is Resorting to subliminal programming….voicing dog wistling “extremist ” negativity just below sensory perception…
For some reason the GAYS have it in for Sarah the most. They thinks she’s a member of Westboro Baptist church.
Amjean commented:
#7 – you haven’t a clue! Dumbass indeed.
That said, making a bigger issue out of this than the words Palin herself said
is a mistake. Focus needs to be centered on the commentary itself.
Hoser commented:
To be honest, I can’t figure out what was said.
Tim in Cali commented:
This is why I turned FOX off, a few years ago…
The 8PMer’s ego doesn’t fit on my tv screen
Shep..did he get the vapors (again) last night over a H’cane ?
CT commented:
I clearly heard it, clear enough to know it was a male voice and definitely not Brit Hume, Juan Williams or Sheppard Smith who was not even present. It almost sounded stage, but I believe it was real and I would surely like to know by whom.
stonedome commented:
sheppard smith and herdildo rivera, fair and balanced? then we have “traditionalist” o’reilly, whatever that means.
Robodog7 commented:
It is difficult to say with certainty that someone from FOX said the word. All of the networks are crammed into the same general area. It could easily have been a bleed in frequencies which is not uncomon when so many are broadcasting from the same area. Band withs are very narrow, as any ham operator can tell you.
Ragspierre commented:
Put down the ThoughtPolice cudgel and step back.
I bow to nobody in my (sane) admiration of Mrs. Palin, but it is not healthy to get your hair on fire of someone disagrees.
Some of you people really need some time out…
gary gulrud commented:
The collective paid my price with the Ryan pick, if not as good as the Palin pick, getting the whole WI contingent into the catacombs of DC is a plus.
But believe me, every one of these GOP cuts and lashes is redundantly recorded and archived for future redress.
mg4us commented:
What matters most is that Palin gives a straight forward, easy to understand view of how well Anne Romney and Chris Christie did. . .
What would be even MORE Effective is to have Palin FILL IN THE BLANKS and CONNECT THE DOTS is these speeches by giving SPECIFIC EXAMPLES of where OBAMA messed up or lied or cheated. .
Cristie when talking about accomplishments said – - WE DID IT
Experienced people with accomplishments said – - WE DID IT
Inexperienced people with no clue what to do say – - Yes We Can!
Now I understand where Obama comes from
