Fox News is losing two of its top female commentators to key security posts on Donald Trump’s team, observed Grumpy Editor.
Monica Crowley will become senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council. She will work under retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, selected to be national security adviser.
Crowley will join former Fox News national security analyst, K.T. McFarland, selected earlier to serve as deputy national security adviser.
Crowley also was a columnist and online opinion editor at The Washington Times and a syndicated radio host.
McFarland’s national security experience dates back to the Nixon administration.
She was an aide to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, a staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, a speechwriter for Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and the principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs.
