Q: Earlier today on Facebook, Sarah Palin informed her followers that her scheduled interviews on Fox News tonight were cancelled. Palin expressed disappointment that she would not be on-air to react to the speech given by her former running mate, John McCain, at the RNC convention tonight. Fox has responded, explaining that their plans changed after the Republicans shortened the convention from four days to three. 
  
  
  
  
  
 Palin took to her Facebook page to explain that while she was scheduled to appear on the network tonight, she will not be showing up after all. 
  
 I’m sorry Fox cancelled all my scheduled interviews tonight because I sure wanted to take the opportunity on the air to highlight Senator John McCain’s positive contributions to America, to honor him, and to reflect on what a biased media unfairly put him through four years ago tonight. Granted, our honored and esteemed war hero has gone through much more than the liberal media can ever do to him in their efforts to harm this patriot. I look forward to hearing his words to his fellow Americans tonight more than any of the other convention speeches. God bless John McCain. Thank you for everything. And happy birthday, my friend. 
  
 Fox News was quick to respond with the following statement from Bill Shine, Fox News’ EVP of Programming. 
  
 “Our plans changed based on the fact that the RNC condensed the schedule of speeches from four nights to three. We look forward to having Governor Palin back as soon as we can.”

 TAMPA, Fla. -- Sarah Palin has seemed content to sit out the big Republican show here this week. She campaigned earlier in the week in Arizona for GOP House candidates and said she was happy to leave the limelight to others, four years after her star turn at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn. 
  
 But Palin clearly figured she would have at least one brief moment connected to the 2012 convention and that it would come Wednesday, when U.S. Sen. John McCain, her running mate, got his chance to speak to the party gathering. 
  
 It didn’t happen. 
  
 Palin said via Facebook: “I’m sorry Fox cancelled all my scheduled interviews tonight because I sure wanted to take the opportunity on the air to highlight Senator John McCain’s positive contributions to America, to honor him, and to reflect on what a biased media unfairly put him through four years ago tonight.” 
  
 It was unclear exactly how much air time the former Alaska governor expected to grab, but she’s a fairly regular contributor, particularly on "Hannity" and Greta van Susteren’s “On the Record.” 
  
 Fox News, on the other hand, was never seen as entirely embracing McCain, the onetime Vietnam War veteran who alienated hard-line conservatives by compromising with Democrats on issues such as campaign finance reform and immigration. 
  
 Fox programmers may have simply decided Wednesday would not be McCain’s night. The now Romney-dominated party gave the Arizona senator his speaking slot, yes, but a couple of hours before prime time. 
  
 So why would Fox want to give Palin, his onetime running mate, any time to sing the praises of the man who brought her to the national stage? Far better to be building the brand of the party’s newly minted star, vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, than to dwell on the old guard represented by McCain, the thinking doubtless went. 
  
 “I look forward to hearing his words to his fellow Americans tonight more than any of the other convention speeches,” Palin said in her Facebook posting. That would make her more interested in McCain than, notably, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and many others, like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who have replaced her as the GOP's hottest brand names.

A: 
Sarah Palin, star of the 2008 Republican National Convention, wasn't happy when Fox News cut her out of this year's coverage. "I’m sorry Fox canceled all my scheduled interviews tonight," she wrote on her Facebook page yesterday, because with former running mate John McCain speaking at the convention, she wanted to honor his "positive contributions to America, to honor him, and to reflect on what a biased media unfairly put him through four years ago tonight." Palin is a regular Fox contributor, but it's not clear how much air time she had been allotted. Fox was quick to respond to Palin, Mediaite reports. "Our plans changed based on the fact that the RNC condensed the schedule of speeches from four nights to three," a spokesman said. "We look forward to having Governor Palin back as soon as we can." On her Facebook page Palin said she was looking forward to McCain's words "more than any of the other convention speeches," making her more interested in McCain than in this year's candidates, or in many others like Chris Christie and Scott Walker, "who have replaced her as the GOP's hottest brand names," notes John Rainey at the Los Angeles Times.
