No matter how dumb Palin is, she somehow always gathers eyeballs to the TV any time she is on, and gathers clicks to any link mentioning her name. Fox knows this, and hired her.

What is going on right now is brilliant. Palin is touring the country as if she's running for president, but because she has not officially declared her candidacy, she can remain a Fox News contributor (otherwise it would be illegal for her to do so). Furthermore as she is now under contract to Fox, she has the perfect excuse not to talk to other news agencies as the content she generates so-to-speak, is owned by Fox. This lets Fox puppets like Beck and Hanity spoon-feed her questions.
