Twenty minutes ago in New Jersey, a significant announcement reverberated through the political and media landscapes as Dana Perino was confirmed as the new permanent co-host of the iconic morning show “America’s Newsroom” on Fox News, following an extensive search to fill the seat left by Bill Hemmer’s move to a new timeslot. The confirmation,
