Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

What's this? Someone from Fox News is willing to be a mouthpiece for the Bush administration?

From the Washington Post:

WASHINGTON - Fox News commentator Tony Snow agreed Tuesday night to become White House press secretary after top officials assured him that he would be not be just a spokesman but an active participant in administration policy debates, people familiar with the discussions said.

A director of speechwriting for President George H.W. Bush, Snow views himself as well-positioned to ease the tensions between this White House and the press corps because he understands both politics and journalism, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the appointment has not been officially confirmed. An announcement is expected today.

I realize that journalists usually pride themselves on being objective, but seeing as how Tony Snow has already been shilling for this administration since day one, he might as well get paid for it.
