One of Hillary Clinton’s top advisers, Howard Wolfson, is being hired by Fox News to be a Democratic Analyst. Of course, Fox News has one of the biggest TV audiences in the world today. Accused of being conservative and a front for the Republican Party, it could be a surprise to many that a Democrat is heading over to Fox News to become a member of the team. But Fox News already has a few Democrats on its team. Both Alan Colmes, who co-hosts a show with Sean Hannity that highlights both of their names, and Juan Williams are members of the Fox News team.

Alan Colmes, though, isn’t the best spokesman for the Democratic cause. He is frequently outdebated by Sean Hannity despite the fact that the latter is a hack journalist with little skill himself. Colmes appears weak next to Hannity and Fox News undoubtedly has him on staff to make Hannity look good. Williams typically appears opposite conservative analysts as a guest and is strong in some areas, but isn’t exactly the most aggressive of liberal analysts on TV himself.

But what about Wolfson? Well, Hillary lost. Does that say something?

Fox News claims to be unbiased in its news and uses the tagline “Fair and Balanced”, though it is neither. Wolfson claims that he wants to be a spokesman for the progressive cause on Fox News because many of its viewers are independent and someone needs to appeal to that audience for the upcoming election. Yeah, right.

I find comfort in the knowledge that there is at least one news channel I can turn to that hasn’t been co-opted by liberals. I certainly hope Fox News isn’t turning liberal.
