Is That Really News?

One of the news headlines on Yahoo this morning read, "Fox Host to Become White House Spokesman." Isn't that a bit like saying "Michael Jordan Named Great Basketball Player," or "Palestinians Planning to Bomb Israel?" I suppose all of these things could be reported as "news," but do they mark any sort of change?

Ok, to be fair, Tony Snow the Fox Host has been critical of the Bush adminstation. Its not like they hired Fred Barnes, but of course why pay Fred when he's already licking your a--hole for free. I'm sorry. That was inappropriate.
