    Fox News hires Liz Cheney; NBC fires back at Page Six over report about Chelsea Clinton

    Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is joining Fox News as a contributor, a network spokeswoman confirmed to Yahoo News. The news was first reported by Politico's Playbook.

    Cheney's hire continues the flurry of politicians' daughters landing television jobs. Late last year, former first daughter Chelsea Clinton was hired by NBC News to contribute to "Rock Center With Brian Williams," joining "Today" show contributor Jenna Bush Hager and MSNBC's Meghan McCain at the Peacock network.

    Cheney, a former State Department staffer, will contribute across all FNC platforms during the Republican primaries, and "serve as a substitute host from time to time."

    According to a report by Page Six, Clinton's days at NBC may be numbered, though a network spokesperson called the assertion "100 percent false."

    Last month, critics largely panned Clinton's "Rock Center" debut.

      Liz Cheney is one of the Smartest Women in the World. She puts Hildabeast and PigNazi to Shame.

      Ok, Bush's daughter is by far the hottest.

      It's a logical fallacy to assume that a son/daughter would have identical political beliefs to their parents.

        Megan McCain, the Bush daughters, and Cheney's daughters have demonstrated this nicely. I'm still waiting, though, for a liberal Democratic politician whose immediate family members exhibit such tolerance for as wide a range of viewpoints. Something tells me I'll be waiting a pretty long time...

        I don't agree at all with this assumption that political views shape families for generations. Most of the time, kids go their own way, make their own political choices, and may or may not change their ideas later on. My parents were Republicans, and all of us kids ended up Democrats. My children were Republicans for awhile, until 2010, when the antics of Congress began to erode their confidence, and the poor caliber of the GOP's presidential candidates during their debates sealed the deal.

        Why not just all become independents and vote for the person with the best platform?
