Fox News Hires Howard Kurtz, Hoping to Catch Some More of That Lightning In a Bottle He Brought to CNN & Newsweek
You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him.
Just a quick thought here: Once you've succeeded -- or have been thought to have succeeded, at any rate -- it's almost impossible to unsucceed, isn't it?*
Media watchdog Howard Kurtz, host of CNN's "Reliable Sources" for 15 years, said Thursday that he's jumping to Fox News Channel.
Kurtz will host another Sunday morning media criticism show to replace the current "Fox News Watch." He'll also appear as an on-air analyst across the network during the week and write a column for the network's website on social media news and industry trends.
FoxNews seems to really like picking up mediocrities after they've been fired from other ventures. We're not talking about picking up high-quality veterans off the wires. We're talking about, at beast, no-surprises journeymen like Kurtz or shambling wrecks of groaning incompetency like Juan Williams.
Eh. Good luck to them, I guess.
