Kucinich Signed as Fox News Contributor

Will premiere on The O'Reilly Factor Thursday

|

Dennis Kucinich, the former Democratic congressman from Ohio, is the Fox News Channel's newest contributor.

Mr. Kucinich will make his first appearance as a contributor on the channel's highest-rated program, "The O'Reilly Factor," on Thursday night, the channel said in a news release.

Mr. Kucinich, a two-time presidential candidate known for his staunch antiwar views, lost his bid for re-election to the House of Representatives last year. The loss (to his primary opponent, Representative Marcy Kaptur) was not a surprise, because his Congressional district was largely eliminated when Ohio lawmakers redrew the state's electoral map in 2011.
