Kirsten Powers, a regular on Fox News for the past decade, is switching channels.
Powers is joining CNN as a political analyst, effective immediately, CNN announced Monday morning. She will continue to write columns for USA Today. Her first appearance will be on "Anderson Cooper 360" Monday night.
Powers is the fourth Fox personality hired by CNN in the past 18 months, joining co-host Alisyn Camerota, liberal commentator Bob Beckel and conservative commentator Mary Katharine Ham.
The timing of her move is newsworthy because it comes one month after the founding CEO of Fox News, Roger Ailes, resigned under pressure amid a sexual harassment scandal. There has been press speculation about a potential "talent exodus" from Fox in the wake of Ailes' resignation. Some of Fox's biggest stars have clauses in their contracts that allow them to leave because Ailes left.
Powers brings an unpredictable set of views to television news discussions. Last year The Washington Post described her as "an antiabortion, antiwar evangelical liberal who works for Fox News."
She is also the author of "The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech."

Women join convents. Men join monasteries.
I think CNN is trying to save itself by “appearing” to be more welcoming to conservatives. But the damage has already been done.
She talks a good Christian game, and supports Leftist positions.
Almost always.
Unreliable, and now she is somewhere where it doesn’t matter.
No great loss for Fox. Kirsten is nice eye candy, but a real air head. A former girl friend of Anthony “Carlos Danger” Weiner.
If you think Kirsten Powers is a Conservative you are badly mistaken.
Hard to believe that Alan Colmes is her brother-in-law.
Holiday discussions around the table must be so much fun.
I don’t recall her ever calling herself a ‘Catholic.’ She’s Christian but of a more common sect than Catholicism.
MSNBC carried some Olympic events and that may have skewed the numbers, but in some key time slots you are correct. Here are some of the latest numbers:

It fits - she’s also a former girlfriend of Anthony Weiner, Huma’s husband. Definitely has bad taste in career choices and men.
She converted last year. Made a big deal out of it. I thought she would become republican because of the pro-abortion, pro homosexual “marriage” democrats but she’s a tried and true democrat. She abides by none of the tenants of the Catholic faith or any other Christian faith.
Talking to that moonbat would drive me nuts.
That isn’t what I wrote. I don’t think CNN has any conservative commentators on their payroll. I said CNN is trying to appear to be more welcoming to conservatives. They need VIEWERS. Their ratings are sinking!
It won’t be a fit... she’s too liberal for FOX and too honest for CNN...
Rules?
Kirsten Powers is a Gore-whore. She’s a better fit at CNN. I tired of her constant whining on FNC.
