[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/04/21/art.tonysnow1.gi.jpg caption="The former White House spokesman joins CNN Monday night.]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.
I like Tony Snow–good man. Welcome to CNN
WHY???
What delightful news!
Why would any honorable news organization hire Tony Snow?
His previous job was to stand up there and lie!
I knew CNN was titling towards FOX NEWS Journalism, and this proves based on the its coverage of the primaries, online news stories and employees that CNN is no longer an independent respected NEWS Agency!
The problem is, CNN, missed the BOAT, BUSH Will be OUt, Obama will win the presidency and MSNBC will be the new cable news KING!.......
Enjoy being the mouth piece of the FAR RIGHT for the next few months.....
Hillary has done more to advance the candidacy of McCain than any republican ever could. She has declared him a better Commander in Chief than Obama (who will beat her in the primaries), and she has successfully ebbed the wave of "Obamamania," a feat which McCain does not possess the charisma nor personal magnetism, nor connection with his fellow republicans to have been able to accomplish. In her selfish, "me first and forget everyone else" campaign she will both lose the race to become the democratic front runner, and has jeopardized her party's chances to win. Way to go Hillary, way to go!!!
He will deliver such biased news. He twists everything while talking to reports. I hope he isn't given a high-up position.
First CNN becomes the Hillary network. Now this. Snow has been soiled with the Karl Rove wand too long to have any credibility left.
Look out on your right, Faux News!
MSNBC, anyone?
And the CIA has officially taken over our major news media outlets. Sigh.
You must be brain dead if you think CNN is backing Hillary. Do you not have ears. Every story that comes through CNN is Pro Obama. They want him to win because they know he can not defeat McCAIN>
Great. Like CNN needed more conservative commentators. CNN is so skewed to the right anymore, they're getting dangerously close to FOX. Conservative talking points is what they take their cues from.
How is this news? Does CNN report on the new jobs of all WH staffers? Or is this self-serving free publicity?
CNN is the best but I don't know about hiring Tony Snow. I know he's smart but in whose interest is he going to working against.
Time for me to start watching MSNBC.....
Great!!! Now CNN can become a "fair and balanced" like Fox News -shame on you!!!!
Great, like CNN doesn't have enough right wing anti-Obama folks on board.
CNN offers a position to Tony Snow? Mr. Snow is a disgraceful propagandist with no credibility. CNN's credibility has been diminished greatly. I'll turn him and CNN off immediately.
Who is next for CNN..Rush Slimebaugh...We need someone who can lie better than Tony Snow..Looks like MSNBC is the only "Fair and Balanced"
News network LEFT!!!
Seriously, CNN? Tony Snow? What, FNC had already snatched up Karl Rove so you went for the next worse thing?
all the more reason to stop watching cnn...
The moderators of this story are going to take the COMMENT option away once they see how people are reacting to this.....lol!
STOP CENSORING FREE SPEECH.........
But I thought he had to quit because he needed time to recover from the cancer he got because of all the LYING he's done.
Or was that just another lie???
Who makes these decisions?? This is one more reason to turn off CNN....good bye!
Glad to see you are working with CNN, you will do an excellent job and contribute a lot. Maybe you can put in a word for Ed Gordon who deserves a break and who is multi-talented and truly a gifted newsman,
Has anyone heard this guy talk on the O'Reilly radio show? He fills in for O'Reilly and man is he dull. I will not be watching much CNN going forward – Fox for now on.
