Will Fox News ask the Rand Paul campaign to pull its Palin-Fox endorsement ad?

Demonstrating the entangled relationship between Fox News and the Republican Party, a new campaign ad for Rand Paul's (R-KY) Senate campaign features a clip of contributor Sarah Palin endorsing Paul on Fox News Sunday. Fox News last month demanded that YouTube remove a Democratic National Committee ad that featured Fox footage, raising the question of whether Fox News will take similar action over Paul's ad.

As Daily Kos' Jed Lewison noted, while Fox News had the DNC ad yanked, it ignored similar RNC videos that featured Fox clips:

Ordinarily, the inclusion of a clip from cable channel in a campaign ad would be unremarkable, but just last month, Fox demanded the DNC pull an ad from YouTube that included Fox footage. The DNC asserted that it was exercising its fair use rights to no avail; Fox stood by its demand, and YouTube pulled the clip.

Meanwhile, there are several clips from Fox on the RNC channel (example 1, 2, and 3). There's nothing wrong with that, but if Fox is going to allow the RNC and Rand Paul to use its video in their political campaigns, shouldn't they also let the DNC do the same?

Fox News' Fox Nation appears to have no problem with the ad, as the conservative website is touting it under the headline, "WATCH: Palin Stars in Ad for Tea Party Candidate."
