Fox also ousted contributor Dick Morris. The National Enquirer hires Dick Morris

The National Enquirer has hired Dick Morris to serve as chief political commentator and correspondent, the tabloid announced in a news release Friday morning.

Morris will have a column in the Enquirer's print edition each week, and will also write for its website and do video commentary.

A former Clinton campaign staffer, Morris has become a cable news regular by virtue of his reliably critical and takes on his former employers.

"The National Enquirer is one of the few journalistic outlets that has the courage to publish the truth," said Morris in a statement. "As this critical election approaches, I am thrilled to have a perch from which to tell the unvarnished truth, particularly about Hillary Clinton -- facts other publications just don't print because it doesn't fit."

The National Enquirer remains a supermarket checkout tabloid staple, though its track record on big stories is spotty, at best. While its investigations team revealed former Sen. John Edwards's lurid affair, it more regularly publishes specious stories about politicians and celebrities.
