I think FOX lost a good one, IMO. She's a star.

It wasn't about Chris:

"What Fox Is Trying To Do To Kiran Simply Isn't Fair," Tipster Responds
Kiran Chetry wanted Gretchen Carlson fired, a source alleged this morning. But a tipster close to Chetry completely denies that.

"What Fox is trying to do to Kiran simply isn't fair," the tipster says. "For them to insist that Kiran would have ever, ever asked that anyone be fired or replaced, just simply is not true."

"Things had been promised to her in the past," the tipster adds. "She had asked for some clarity as it related to a couple different things... and they were not willing to give her clarity."

> Update: 4:09pm: An FNC executive responds: "Tell Kiran to check with her agent, who made this outrageous demand claiming it was on her behalf."

"Not only did her agent want it written into her new deal that Gretchen would be fired, they wanted the exact date specified," the exec adds.

"Of course they are backpedaling now. They had no idea we would cut her loose like we did. Her agent tried to play hard ball and lost."

I don't think she was any good at the morning show. She's completely boring to listen to.

From the CNN press release:

“CNN is the gold standard when it comes to journalism, and I am thrilled to be part of the team,” Chetry said.

Not only is she boring...she says, "and the interesting thing is..." EVERY five minutes. I find her unbearable to watch.

Yep... the weekend show has just plain ole sucked for a few months now. It used to be my favorite time to watch television. Lately it's not watchable.

Which Lauren is that? I don't see Fox much in the mornings. Laurie Dhue was part of Geraldo's now canceled show.
