Fox News Channel, the television network criticized for favoring the Republican Party, is adding the woman who once led the Democrat Party as a paid contributor.

Former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile will offer analysis on both Fox News and the Fox Business Network, it was announced on Monday morning. Brazile, who once ran Al Gore's unsuccessful presidential campaign, is no stranger to the networks — she made several appearances in the fall of 2017 to promote her book Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House.

Brazile pre-empted the criticism she might receive for her new role. "I know I'm going to get criticized from my friends in the progressive movement for being on Fox News," she said in the announcement. "My response is that, if we've learned anything from the 2016 election, it is that we can't have a country were we don't talk to those who disagree with our political views."
