According to a press release from the network, Tony Snow will be joining CNN "as a conservative commentator beginning today."
I wish him well. I've always enjoyed his commentary, and thought he did an excellent job as Press Secretary. I'll miss him from now on, since I don't watch CNN, but I hope he snared a big contract.

I suspect this will be a semi-retirement like situation.
They'll make a bigger deal out of hiring him than the amount of airtime he will probably get deserves.

Fox to the White House to CNN...all departmental transfers. I'm sure it just required him filling out a 54B form and a raise.

I love it CNN has gone down hill in the last five years. But when they were purposely misleading the American public about Iraq in the 90's they were a good network.
Hopefully having other view points like Tony might lead them down the road of truth and integrity.
Yeah right

Tony Snow is NOT a "Conservative" - he is a Bush man and CFR member ! Fox is the Bush network that covers for him constantly. The only place you can get any kind of real news is from CNN. Lou Dobbs tells it like it is most of the time and he is the ONLY one who has exposed Bush's One World Gov't (NAU). FOX and Tony Snow have denied all of it - even the NAFTA Super Mexican Highway that has already stolen millions of acres from the people in Texas and that will be controlled by Mexico and cut America in half !!! And Mexico will collect all the tolls from it and have the say on WHO will be allowed to travel on it ! See http://home1.gte.net/carriet/AMERICA_NO_MORE.htm
Tony Snow also backs up all the UN-Constitutional things Bush and his gang have done since day one including the UN-Constitutional Illegal Iraq and Afghanistan wars ! Can't believe a word Tony Snow says as he is Bush's cover man !
Oh if the public only knew the real truth about it all ! But most of media is Federal Gov't controlled and ordered to report only what they are told ! The public is sooo easily fooled and manipulated !
