Tucker Carlson, Dana Perino Join Fox News As Contributors

Tucker Carlson and Dana Perino have joined Fox News as contributors, the Huffington Post has learned.

Carlson hosted the 6PM hour on MSNBC until March 2008, when his show, "Tucker," was canceled. Since then, he served as a senior campaign correspondent for MSNBC and has written for The Daily Beast.

Perino served as White House Press Secretary from September 2007 through the end of George W. Bush's second term. Last month, it was announced she'd be joining Mark Penn's public relations firm, Burson-Marsteller, as "chief issues counselor."

Should have said Tucker is the "sole owner of the title of most annoying and tiresome commentator, etc"

This is just an indication that prayer works. After his show ended (for which I prayed daily), and after the campaign ended last year, I was praying that I would never have to see or hear from Little Tucker again. Now that he has been moved to Fox, my prayers have been answered.

Now let's all get on our knees and pray for the same fate for Joe Scarborough. He now is the sole owner of the most annoying and tiresome commentator on the "everybody else" TV channels (all the channels other than Fox.)

You call Fox News biased while in the same breath your praying that all opposing voices should leave MSNBC.

The definition of your moniker, "obviously", eludes you. People like you cannot look past the bent of MSNBC. You don't seem to catch on to the fact (For OBVIOUS reasons), that what they have, and FOX doesn't, is the ever present under current of truth possessed within facts. Facts are something that has never gotten in the way of FOX's "Fair and Balanced" reporting.

As a matter of fact, MSNBC errs to greatly on the right wing side, most notably, by the inclusion of Scarborough and Buchanan, both of whom are a little too whack-a-doodle for my taste, but they are there none the less. MSNBC presents other strong right wing voices, as opposed to the meek liberal voices chosen to dot the FOX landscape. Also, MSNBC viewers watch PBS, CNN, C-SPAN. We listen to NPR, Air America, Reuters news, and BBC. We are capable of reasoned thought. Variety makes the difference.

That's OK. You keep watching FOX, and bask in their ignorant slant. We'll watch out for the country , on your behalf.

You're Welcome.

[Unrepentantliberal]

Faux News, your one stop shopping for all things wingnut.

[motoGpifupleez]

Didn't see that coming.

[liliperl]

Is this supposed to mean that a 'young generation' of roght-wing brainwashers is on the horizon @ FOX??? Excellent job! They will guarantee a series of spectacular loss of elections for Republicans!

[ticjlo]

Morning Joe should be next.

If they're looking for talent, he won't make it!

[IrishLad]

They wouldn't know talent if it rose up and struck them in the gob...this headline proves that.

[CaptainQueeg]

Tucker can show them his famous Dance moves!

[ebanks84]

Cool!

[madisonhack]

I thought that Dana Perino always worked for FAUX, even when she was at the White House.

[DMHendrix]

Dana should be relieved because NO ONE at Fox will ask her questions that require any basic knowledge of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

[txshldm0007]

Big Wap!!! Faux News deserves them.

[twiggy2]

it's the 'new, new reality' never mind the truth, it's the perception you have of the truth that counts -

[dcjdjay]

Join Sean Hannity, the Taliban and Miss America debate gay rights! "Hanging or just imprisonment?"

[newyorkjoe]

Swivel-Hips Carlson and Baroness von Perino on Fox... Shocking I say! Just shocking..­. not. They're like turtles returning to the sea.

[omobob]

Next to "talking head" in the dictionary is a photo of Dana Perino. She has all the charm of moray eel.

[dcjdjay]

Is Fox News where every right wing loser is sent out to pasture?

Do they have ANYONE on their staff of "journalists" who are not Republicans?
