I'm surpised Smurf hasn't pounced on this but hey, I guess I've scooped him here. Tony Snow was just annouced White House Press Secretary (aka worst job in America) taking the place of Scott McClellan. Ton Snow is an 'analyst' on FoxNews and has his own show "The Tony Snow Show". He is a respected journalist (see talking head), and I've actually seen him before and he is about 3000 times more likable and convincing than Scott McClellan. What's so great about this hire, though, is that the Bush administration is basically outwardly acknowledging the symbiotic relationship between them and their megaphone to the people (FoxNews). I always thought it was the role of the 'free' press to be at a skeptical if not adversarial role with the government to prevent the abuse of power but that may be a discussion for another day. All in all, a pretty big day for FoxNews I would say. Fitting FoxNews link:
