A major CNN morning news anchor who left the network last month amid a ratings slide is now set to join Fox News Channel, TVNewser.com reports.

John Roberts, who anchored CNN “American Morning,” was originally set to join CNN’s Atlanta bureau after he moved there to be closer to his fiance and fellow CNN reporter Kyra Phillips. But instead of setting up shop at CNN, he’ll be reporting for Fox from the same city.

TVNewser.com says Roberts will be “reporting on major domestic and international stories for the network.” A news veteran, he joined CNN in 2006 after spending 14 years at CBS and is considered a “top-notch journalist.”

Isn't he the a-hole who rebuked Kiran Gentry or whoever for doing something at the desk next to him (like shuffling through papers, like they all do!) while they were on the air a few months ago?

Great, can't wait to have to watch him on Fox now.

Good grief!
What does Fox want with a leftist blow-dry like Roberts? Taking somebody from CBS is like a major league baseball team taking somebody from the Cubs. It can’t help.

FNC has become the home of neocons, RINOs and liberals ... anyone except conservatives.

Palin and Hannity are the networks only conservatives and Sean is dumber than a brick (but he does have nice hair).

Big deal. These are on air personalities. They aren’t Congressmen!

I saw Major Garrett on MSNBC the other day, does this mean the world is ending?!

Meh.

Pretty soon even Fox will become unwatchable. At least he’l give pretty boy Shep a run for the mascara money.

Well, there goes the neighborhood! Just joking, FoxNews lost their credentials in my book quite a while ago.
I only watch them because they are a tiny bit better than CNN.
