Overnight Anchor & News Correspondent

By Stephen...

Jessica Tarlov, a Democratic strategist and political commentator, has accepted a position at Fox News as an overnight anchor and news correspondent. Tarlov, who has previously worked for MSNBC and CNN, will join Fox News in January 2019.

Tarlov's hiring is part of Fox News's efforts to diversify its on-air talent. The network has been criticized in the past for its lack of diversity, and Tarlov's hiring is seen as a step towards addressing that criticism.

Tarlov is a graduate of Barnard College and Harvard Law School. She has worked as a political commentator for MSNBC since 2015 and has also appeared on CNN, The View, and other news programs.

In a statement, Tarlov said that she is "excited to join Fox News and contribute to the network's commitment to fair and balanced reporting." She added that she "looks forward to sharing her perspective on the day's news with viewers across the country."

Tarlov's hiring is a significant development for Fox News. It shows that the network is willing to bring on voices that challenge its conservative orthodoxy. It also sends a message to other networks that they need to do more to diversify their on-air talent.
