I agree, Gretchen is just a little too stiff for Fox and Friends. They need to reassign her to something else. I miss E.D. being on Fox & Friends.

'And what happened to Julian on the weekend shows?'

Yes I liked him ,too. The only ones who I found annoying were Mike and Juliet....

Was your post sarcasm? Take a look at just one NewsBusters article from a quick Google search:

Actually Julie is quite solid. It's Rebecca Gomez who's the lib.

Lauren Green is now the religion correspondent for Fox News Channel.

That's appropriate.

CNN's writer plays kinda fast and loose with the term "Anchor", doesn't he? She hain't 'anchored' anything that I can recall, other than the Saturday morning exercise fluffy time fillers.

no, greg..can't remember his last name. He covered the Spain bombing for awhile because he was so close, until some other reporters could get there.

That was a quick .. new ... job for Kiran.At least she'll get some exposure. I think I've seen Rita Cosby once since she left Fox. Of course, I don't watch PMSNBC anyway.

'..weekend version has been LOUSY..'

agree. I sure hope Paige doesn't wind up as permanent.....lately she just seems to CHATTER incessantly...becomes very annoying and I switch to HGTV.

Still sorry they broke up E.D., Steve and Brian. They were a terrific team.

Thanks for the photo. It doesn't do her justice.

No joke, the woman is drop dead gorgeous.

I haven't seen Lauren on in the mornings lately...what's up with her???

That woman was literally unable of reading a piece from the teleprompter without stumbling at least once. I mean that. She was a joke as a newsreader.

Moving to a big one isn't either. Ask Randy Johnson or Mike Mussina. ;^)

I agree that she talks too fast. She will give Soledad some competition. I am like someone else who said 'they don't watch CNN anyway' and neither do I. I check now and then to see if they are still bashing the President and our troops and yes, they are? Am I crazy or what? I hate Kiran went to CNN. They get so struck on themselves they think they can have what they want. They can read well and are sexy looking. Dime a dozen!

More from media bistro -- saying it was Gretchen Carlson, not Greta.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Chetry Wanted Carlson Fired?

Speaking of that contract clause: Kiran Chetry's agent "asked Fox News to fire Gretchen Carlson so his client could have her job on Fox and Friends," FTVLive says.

A senior FNC executive confirms the account to TVNewser.

Chetry's agent hasn't returned TVNewser's call yet. Yesterday, a tipster accused Fox of promising Chetry a spot on the weekday Fox & Friends, then reneging, but the exec says that's wrong...


Who'll Replace Chetry On F&F Weekend?

Kiran Chetry's move "throws what had appeared to be a settling down anchor lineup on Fox and Friends Weekend back into question," ICN says. "Who will take over the center chair vacated by Chetry? Will it be Alisyn Camerota, who was supposed to be the M-Fr weekday news update replacment for Lauren Green when she comes back from maternity leave? Or will it be someone else such as Patti Ann Browne or Page Hopkins? Or will FNC do something unexpected like grab Jodi Applegate from Fox5 NY? We shall see..."


What Contract Clause Did Chetry Want?

There's another part of FNC's letter to Kiran Chetry's agent that makes me scratch my head.

"In addition, you and your client's unprofessional demand that we include a clause in her new agreement which would have been detrimental to other Fox News talent, is simply not the way we conduct business," Dianne Brandi wrote.

Chetry's agent didn't return TVNewser's call for comment. Could the contract clause have involved Chris Knowles, Chetry's husband and an FNC weatherman? Will he want to stay at Fox if his wife is gone?...
