In what some critics described as an effort to counter Democratic attacks that it has become a mouthpiece for the Republican Party, Fox News Channel has signed 2004 Democratic presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark as a military and foreign affairs analyst. "I am excited by this opportunity to ... offer my perspective to the important issues facing the United States and the global community," Clark said in a statement. Fox News executive producer Bill Shine said: "Gen. Clark's extensive military experience and sharp insight make him a powerful addition to Fox News Channel." Clark, the retired four-star general who once commanded NATO, has been a harsh critic of the Bush administration's foreign policy in general and the war in Iraq in particular. Meanwhile, in an interview with today's (Thursday) Philadelphia Inquirer, Geraldo Rivera took aim at Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean, who recently referred to Fox News as the "propaganda outlet of the Republican Party." Rivera, who signed a new four-year contract with Fox News this week, told the Inquirer that if Dean "had the guts to say that to my face, I'd smack him. Our shop is a place where ideas flourish."
