Newspaper columnist and commentator Robert Novak left CNN yesterday, months after he was last seen on TV. He was picked up by the Fox News Channel, where he'll begin serving as a regular contributor next month.
Novak had not been seen on CNN since August, when he said "bulls--- " on the air and stormed off the set.
"After 25 years of serving as a CNN commentator and program host, our colleague Bob Novak's tenure on the network will come to a close," CNN President Jon Klein said in a statement. Despite his 25 years at CNN, Novak is perhaps more famous now for revealing the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame in a column. It's a scandal that continues to this day. "Through the years, Bob has offered incisive analysis for much of CNN's programming, including 'Crossfire,' 'The Capital Gang,' 'Inside Politics,' 'Evans and Novak,' 'The Novak Zone,' and 'Novak, Hunt and Shields,'" Klein added.
I can't believe that Fox would hire him. He outed a CIA operative. He is a reporter, yet chose to do this. Not a great thing to do. Cowardly, and who knows how many people it hurt. Fox is so quick to call Democrats Anti-American, but look at who they hired. Hypocrites.
