Former Fox Contributor Sally Kohn Joining CNN

After spending one year as a paid contributor for Fox News, Sally Kohn has officially joined CNN as of this week. The pundit updated her Twitter bio to include “@CNN contributor” along with “@TheDailyBeast columnist” on Wednesday.

Kohn served as one of the few consistently liberal contributors on Fox, often appearing on The O’Reilly Factor to debate Bill O’Reilly on issues like same-sex marriage and anti-gay discrimination. She made news, and got a Twitter shout-out from President Barack Obama, when she joined MSNBC’s Chris Hayes to discuss an op-ed she wrote for that network’s website about her own successful attempt to sign up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act.

But more recently, Kohn has appeared on CNN, talking Obamacare with Wolf Blitzer and filling in as the left-wing host on Crossfire. With the news that she has officially joined CNN as a paid contributor, you should be seeing a lot more of her there.
