Fox News Signs Former State Dept. Spokeswoman Marie Harf as New Contributor
2017-01-24
[Free Beacon] Fox News signed former State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf as a new contributor, the news network announced Monday.

Harf "will offer national security and political analysis," Fox said. She will make her first appearance Monday night on Marcha MacCallum’s program The First 100 Days, Deadline first reported.

Before her most recent job as senior adviser of strategic communications for Secretary of State John Kerry, Harf was a deputy spokeswoman at the State Department from July 2013 to May 2015. She was the active spokeswoman for about two months in 2015.

Harf also worked on former President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign, where she served as a campaign spokeswoman on national security issues and collaborated on national security and communications strategy.

The website indeed does not allow deep linking, although they do allow linking to the article in question.

#15  I get that the Murdock boys want to widen the leftards they put on the various commentary shows to continue the meme of fair and balanced, but Harf is actually not the kind of clever foil they hope to offer up. She is not clever or quick or well informed or funny. She is little more than a slow target drone, and hence, kind of sad.

#14  Her pear shape and pea brain make her perfect for TV gabfests.

#13  She was a spokesdroid paid to say stupid things. We should remember that before we start mocking her. Which I shall do now: Harf! Harf! Harf harf!

If she goes with the Naughty Librarian look, it might be watchable. You can always turn the sound off.

#12  Am I recalling correctly that the Murdoch sons have taken over running things from their father? But perhaps this is only to provide balance for the Nigel Farage hire.

#9  When I do watch TV news, I watch Fox. I do that once every four years, to catch the returns on Election Night.

Other than that, I haven't watched ANY news on TV in more than 20 years. CNN, MSNBC, and the other lamestream media spew out 100% liberal garbage; Fox spews out "only" 50% liberal garbage in accordance with their "fair and balanced" nonsense.

I'll start watching TV news again when there's a TV channel that spews out ZERO percent liberal garbage.

Not even a fair match, unless Carlson is given a dictionary and forced to respond in Swahili.

#6  Contributor? WTF can she possibly contribute? Will Retired Rear Admiral John F. Kirby be joining FOX soon as well? Who will be left to drive the clown car? Is this an attempt to make Bob Beckel and Geraldo Rivera look centrist? I have so many questions.

#4  My decision to cancel my DirecTV and WSJ subscriptions last year looks smarter all the time. I take in no Murdoch owned media products exactly because of this sort of staffing problem.

#3  Well, Fox just Harfed up a hair-ball.

Why can't/don't the other networks pick up real conservatives for "balance"? Is Fox owned by a liberal too? /rhet

#2  If it wasn't for being a Fox News contributor, she would be useless to society.

#1  Perhaps now she understands 'nuance'.
