C Block 1566 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Ahh and proving once again that life is cyclical...he was chief white house correspondent at CBS in the 2000s. I always liked him at CNN, even if he didn't have the best chemistry with Kiran Chetry in the later days of American Morning...

Studio B 20 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 He's a solid reporter although given his rep, I'd bet the Fox WH unit isn't particularly pleased.
