Bakhtiar Joins Fox News as Correspondent By Michele Greppi Fox News Channel has grabbed former CNN family member Rudi Bakhtiar as a general correspondent.

Bill Shine, senior VP of programming at Fox News, said in the announcement Wednesday that, "Rudi's experience anchoring and reporting from around the world make her a great asset to Fox."

During the past decade, Ms. Bakhtiar's assignments for the CNN news group had included intern, video journalist, segment producer, anchor for CNN Headline News and contributor to prime-time CNN shows.

Do you know for sure that she's a conservative? I'd put $ on it that she's another CNN Lib.

A darn good reason to evacuate the females out of Iran ... before we bomb it.

She sure breaks the stereo type of women from that part of the world being ugly as sin. What a knock out!

"It seems that FNC is being infiltrated with CNN Lib refugees lately."
With a couple of exceptions, FOX is sounding very Lib lately.

What makes you so sure she's a lib...and if so, why go to FOX?

As some grand conspiracy? I dunno...maybe she is and maybe she isnt...but perhaps she'll get exposed to at least some of the facts.

Whereas the Clown News Network...was always in make believe land.

I'll reserve my judgement after she is there for awhile. I don't watch Clintoon News Network so I'm not familiar with her.

The Persians from that part of the world are quite beautiful in general. The Arabs are another story...

I am pretty sure she is...as an American living in Iran when the revolution went down, and knowing people murdered, she has very strong views on the Iranian government.

Plus with a biology degree, she is head and shoulders above the J-school crowd.

Agreed! When their ratings plummet they will know why!

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't watch the Fox News women for their journalistic skills.

Maybe Persian women have exceptions but women may beg to differ on Persian men. The Iranian president sure is hunk:

Isn't she a lefty? Fox needs no more of them.

Don't you get it? She's not lefty or righty. They're all members of the world's oldest profession. They'll say whatever their bosses tell them to say.

I still have my suspicions about the intern that returned to FNC from CNN, and then accused O'Reilly of chronic sexual harrassment...

And the King of All Ego made a very fast out of court settlement too rather than defending his "good name".
