Former White House Press Secretary Tony Snow joins CNN

[TheSarge]

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former White House press secretary Tony Snow will join CNN as a conservative commentator beginning Monday.

CNN president Jon Klein announced that Snow, a long-time political observer with a longstanding news background, will contribute to CNN as the network continues to broadcast winning political coverage.

Snow most recently served as press secretary to President Bush. For 10 years, beginning in 1996, he appeared on Fox News Channel as the host of Fox News Sunday, Weekend Live with Tony Snow and other programs. Before joining Fox, Snow served as a substitute "From the Right" co-host for CNN's Crossfire.

Snow has also been a newspaper writer, radio host and columnist, and a speechwriter in the administration of the first President Bush.

Ok I'm disappointed to say the least that Fox didn't keep him.  What's really funny about this are the comments below the story.

Hey if CNN offered me a Brinks truck full of cash to work for them I'd be working there too!

What's funny is that now CNN has two Conservatives working for them and the left is handwringing about how it's turned into a conservative spin machine.

I read the comments.  Most are typical of the left-wing braintrust.  "Why would CNN hire a liar for Bush?" 

What lies?  No one bothers to list an example.  "Tony Snow is dumb"  Really?  Give an example.

Most of the comments are written out of fear.  The left gets all panicky when they see a possiblity their mile wide/inch deep black river of distortions maybe exposed for what it is. 

Normal people laugh.  HaHa.

Oh my God! This explains why CNN has become so conservative and pro-Hillary lately.

Now CNN will have one more right wing republican voice to their chorus / spin machine;

How can some one who worked and lied for Bush can get a job at CNN?????!!!! - you sold out and should join Fox News

 

Heh, a rare conservative comment:

Welcome Tony Snow! Nice to see I only hope you get the fair and balance respect from the staff at the Clinton News Network.

I am getting of all your conservastive commentators. You are suppose to provide news, not try to change America's views.

The lure of the Dark Side is strong, especially when accompanied but assloads of cash...

They are just trying to compete with Fox, and they think they will get some Fox viewers now by having Tony Snow work for them.

I too am disappointed about this, though

I see it as an admission they have been Left leaning and that strategy has failed miserably.  This is sort of like when the LAT tossed out a bunch of ultra-liberals (and, dammit, Ramirez).
