Meghan McCain, the political scion who has won public fame as a blogger, commentator and TV-show host, will join Fox News Channel as a contributor, Variety has learned.
A spokesperson for the network confirmed the hire. McCain is expected to contribute to the network’s primetime and daytime programming.
McCain, the oldest daughter of U.S. Senator John McCain, a Republican, joins as Fox News Channel, like other news outlets, heads into a frenzied pre-season for the 2016 election for U.S. president. Already, more than a dozen different candidates for the Republican nomination have thrown their hat into the ring.
McCain, who has identified as a Republican in the past, could well offer the viewpoint of a different member of that political party: one hailing from the millennial generation. She has in the past championed gay rights and come out against anti-immigration legislation, and has publicly challenged commentators like Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham. In her writings she’s expressed ambivalence about Sarah Palin, the former Fox News contributor who ran for U.S. vice president alongside her father, and admiration for Hillary Clinton, who is now vying for the Democratic nomination for U.S. president.
McCain most recently was a host for “TakePart Live,” a talk show on cable’s Pivot network that urged viewers to get involved with various social causes. She was also the focus of “Raising McCain,” a Pivot talk show that took her on the road. Both were cancelled.
McCain has written a campaign memoir, “Dirty Sexy Politics,” as well as “America, You Sexy Bitch: A Love Letter to Freedom,” a collaboration with comedian Michael Ian Black. She has also contributed to the Daily Beast and interned at Newsweek magazine. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Columbia University.
Oy vey. Isn’t Jerry Rivers enough?
I’ll stick o Fox Business. Long as they have Varney on there.
The management at FOX must know that this is going to hurt their ratings. I, like many others, can not watch Heraldo, and Guano Williams is not much better. What exactly qualifies this airhead to go on the air and pontificate on anything more complex than which color nail polish we should use?
Doesn’t the senile McPain have children from a prior marriage? Are they sons? They must be so embarrassed by him.
Me too; I turn down the radio too when Fox News comes forth with its brand of totalitarian propaganda.
A daughter: “On July 3, 1965, McCain married Carol Shepp, a model originally from Philadelphia.[20] McCain adopted her two young children Douglas and Andrew.[17][21] He and Carol then had a daughter named Sidney.[22][23]”

Try One America News..
That road apple didn’t fall far from the horse’s posterior..
What is One America News?
Somebody is threatening owners to get that bag a platform.
Just another confirmation of why it was a wise decision for me to cease from watching FOX news several years ago.
Some days you just shake your head.
I can’t watch when Williams and Rivera are on. McCain is as bad or worse.
Another reason why Fox has become a noisy sucking sound. Not worth watching anymore, they capitulated to the leftists.
Soon to become the FOX Anything-But-The-News Channel. (Maybe that SF city councilman was right.)
DANG!
Faux News has always sucked.
Jump the whale moment
It’s a news network on some cable servers. It can be accessed on

Thank you for link info. Will check it out.
The official date of the turnover is the end of this month. However, I have no doubt the the hiring of the odious, liberal twit, Ms. McCain, is due to the machinations of the Murdoch sons who are already busy in their leadership roles in the family business.
Fasten your seat belts if you travel in the Fox limousine....it's going to be bumpy ride.
