Republican vice presidential candidate & Governor Sarah Palin has signed with Fox News as a contributor, reports say.
Palin will join Fox's team to provide regular insight and analysis on the network.
"I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News," Palin said in a statement. "It's wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balance news."
