Palin was the first guest on commentator Glenn Beck's Fox News television show on January 19, 2009, commenting on Barack Obama that he would be her president and that she would assist in any way to bring progress to the nation without abandoning her conservative views.

In August 2009, she coined the phrase "death panel", to describe rationing of care as part of the proposed health care reform.
She stated that it would require Americans such as her parents or her child with Down syndrome, "to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care."
The phrase was criticized by many Democrats and Politifact named it the "Lie of the Year of 2009."
However, conservatives disputed this and defended her use of the term.

In March 2010, Palin started a show to be aired on TLC called Sarah Palin's Alaska.
The show was produced by Mark Burnett.
Five million viewers tuned in for the premiere episode, a record for TLC.
Palin also secured a segment on Fox News.
Two guests that she was shown to have interviewed claimed to have never met her.
Guests LL Cool J and Toby Keith stated that footage shown on the segment was actually taken from another interview with someone else, but was used in Palin's segment.
Fox News and Palin ended this relationship in January 2013.
But on June 13, 2013, Palin rejoined Fox News Channel as an analyst.

On December 8, 2010, it was reported that SarahPAC and Palin's personal credit card information were compromised through cyber attacks.
Palin's team believed the attack was executed by Anonymous during Operation Payback.
The report was met with skepticism in the blogosphere.
Palin's email had been hacked once before in 2008.
