Tony Snow, current Fox New anchor, has accepted the new position of White House press secretary.
WASHINGTON, April 26 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President George W. Bush named the Fox News anchor Tony Snow as the new White House press secretary, as part of an ongoing shakeup of his administration amid sagging public approval ratings for his job performance.[full story]
There are a number of ways to look at this new press secretary, the most obvious being a "DUUuuuhHH" when a Fox News anchor takes over at the White House. I mean, aren't all Fox News pundits already spokespeople for the White House? I guess getting the official title would still be nice.
But that's not the angle I want to take here, here I just want to share a quick anecdote about Mr. Snow's...market acumen.
