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."

Someone should ask Rupert Murdoch where exactly the liberal side are represented on his "fair and balanced" TV channel?

[SueInCA]

ummm American Idol?

[Ratfink1]

What's taking Alberto Gonzales so long to get on over there?

Bizarro world celebrities who pretend to inform the public through their so called "journalism". They occupy a parallel universe apart from where the majority of Americans live, braying and huffing noises that only their kind can hear.

If you'd like to help designate their "free speech" as non-news visit http://FixNewsNow.org to get information and support good media reform.

What? They weren't on the payroll already? I'm shocked! Part of Ailes' "No Wingnut Left Behind" program, I guess.

Tucker's swing from moderate right to hard right has been horrible to witness. He may claim to still be a moderate, but when you are constantly defending the indefensible, you have become one of them. They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste -- that make's Tuckers descent into one of Bush's butt-polishers particularly horrible, and fodder for cautionary tales.

I never watch Fox anymore, so I can safely say here and now -- good riddance.

It would seem that msmbc is loosing the most important news reporters to Fox News and further eroding the ratings. I have to wonder who is now watching Msmbc as I know of no one who even mentions oberman or maddow. One has to wonder when the advertisments will exit the far left and fololow Tucker and others. I look forward to viewing Tucker at some date in the near future. As for morning Joe it is a joke and I no loger view it.

[TeejMan]

Makes sense. They have no where else to go.

Faux News attempts to become even more fair and balanced, as if that were even possible.

[Benjamin Gafoor]

if by fair and balanced you mean within the far right idiots.

[boboyaya]

Deport rupert Murdoch.

[SueInCA]

Even the kangaroo was willing to get in the water down under to get away......­..........­...

[Bramble8]

They all work for the GOP anyway. No big surprise.

[Leslib]

The unfortunate thing is that they have any TV face time at all. Those two would be better off far, far away where their one-sided ramblings won't have to interfere with any intelligent thought.

Between these 2 and Carrie Prejean guest hosting, Fox has really plumbed the depths.

[dashboard]

This is about as newsworthy as a fa_rt in church.

[babyboomerorig]

Perino joining Mark Penn??

That's just plain weird, although Penn is weird, too.

[redstateaz]

Fox is the only free network left. All the rest you can call Pravda.

[ReedYoung]

Thanks, humor first thing on a Saturday is hard to beat!

[davenav]

Of course you would be wrong, but you can say it all you want.

Yeah, a network that has to twist, smear, codify heresay, amplify innuendo, and back up all the full-tilt lies of Bush and his cronies -- that's a network to believe in -- if you are a completely compromised yes-man/woman with no deliberative skills or sense of right and wrong.

[TremoluxMan]

Nice try, but no cigar.

[Chubbarow]

If we can call all the rest of the networks "TRUTH" (правда) then by your 15 watt logic we would have to call Fox "PACK OF LIES" (сплошная ложь).

[madisonhack]

You jest, I'm sure.
