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.

Nice work, CNN. You hadn't fully morphed into Fox News until now.
Is he taking the position of Richard Quest, the CNN contributor who was just arrested for possession of meth in Central Park?
Now we will find out what is meant by a "Snow job."
Conversative commentator that worked for Faux News? Who knew?
How dare CNN hire someone who isn't a Liberal! You just don't get it, you must be a liberal before you can become a journalist.
speechwriter in the administration of the first President Bush? Well he should write for this bush too. I know working for Bush may gave him some clues and he will support Obama. Welcome to the right place for the news.
This is just awful!! Why didn't he go back to FOX!!!!!
TONY SNOW + CNN = ? R THEY THINKING ?
if you continue to slant the news coverage in favor of the republicans and hiring bush adminstration lackeys like tony snow i will be watching you less and less.
I have turned away from CNN the past couple of months as they have been great Hillary supporters. I had always thought of CNN as "Fair and Balanced", but not anymore.
This is going to put them over the top. See Ya.
That's great! It proves that CNN is fair and balanced and has some diversity to its news staff. Way to go!
So, it now looks like FoxNews and CNN are merging. Great new for the Republican propaganda machine.
Obama 08
Jack Caffery was fired? Great News.
Gosh... what a shame. With so many bright, well educated journalists outthere, you would think that CNN could grab one of them. Oh, well...
Guess CNN needs another Lou Dobbs !!
Right wing fundamentalists who appeal to a disspearing demographic ..at longitudinally over time
Whats the Big Deal about he is liar..by the way isnt there a scandal going on with Hired Guns of this administration posing as New Commentators on various networks.....CNN SNN SIN it all the same...
Pretty soon CNN will be just like Fox. Time to start getting all my news from the BBC. Aargh.
How many liars do we need making conservative commentary, CNN?
Cnn is getting finally smarter with the addition of Snow. I'm no Bush fan but honestly, after this primary crazyness, we need a sane conservative voice at CNN instead of the liberal tilt toward Obama that is sinking this ship.
Glen Beck, Nancy Grace, and now Tony Snow. Has Rupert Murdock taken over CNN, too?
Snow is great. Good move, CNN.
To Bad CNN you could have done better, a right wing neo-con!
Tony Snow will be truthful no matter what channel he reports for. He has a fine understanding of liberal and conservative thought. Perhaps I will be able to stand CNN with Snow aboard.
why does our cnn let in a neocon like snow
shame on you
hopefully snow wont be there long
go obama
Wonderful, I love Tony Snow and he is objective, just what CNN needs.
