Fox News host Greta Van Susteren’s ties to the Palin family are raising questions at a time when her ratings are also spurring talk that her show may be shifted from its coveted 10 p.m. time slot, the New York Times reports. Ms. Van Susteren’s husband, John Coale, gave Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin advice about starting a political action committee when the couple met the Palins for an interview the weekend after the presidential election, the newspaper says. Many news outlets frown on staffers covering events if their partners are in some way affiliated with them, the Times adds.
