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.

"It seems that FNC is being infiltrated with CNN Lib refugees lately."
Murdoch and Ailes must be real stupid. Just think: they are being "infiltrated."
It should not surprise most folks, that Fox has many tv journalists that are physically attractive.
Maybe they do that, to "attract" viewers.
Maybe some of their success goes beyond the political shift towards conservatism.
If she doesn't spit when she talks, she would face off better against Chris Matthews.

I have not idea what her abilities are - but if she's half as good as Amy Kellog, Megyn Kendall, Jennifer what's-her-name (Mideast correspondent) or Laura Ingle, it's a good idea.
To: Pikamax
If she replaces Shemp Smith, I'd watch again.

She sure breaks the stereo type of women from that part of the world being ugly. Actually there are plenty of women from the Middle East who are very beautiful. I had a good friend in college whose parents had fled Iraq when she was a baby. She was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I think every guy in the classes we had together spent almost every possible minute looking at her.

I like Fox hiring liberals.....it shows their ability to debate matters.
I don't want them becoming CNN. Having just one side of an issue is a way to emulate CNN, not by hiring a beautiful reporter......she may surprise you.

Iran must be full of hotties such as Rudi Bakhtiar.
All scenarios for a conflict with Iran over its nuke program look like no-win situations. Instead, what if the women of Iran all decided that they would no longer be treated as second class citizens?
Imagine, one morning, every Iranian woman takes to the streets without wearing the chador on their heads while chanting something like "I am woman, hear me roar in numbers to big to ignore".
Women in Iran demanding their civil rights could topple the regime and spare the world a dangerous conflict.

Is Fox News becoming the 2nd CNN? They are hiring too many CNN ex's. Hemmer and Bakhtiar are excellent and telegenic reporters; Novak is what was Aisles thinking?
To: GOP_Proud
FOX, a network and a hiring standard.

I've never heard anyone refer to middle easterners as unusually unattractive...quite the contrary. In fact a few of the Persian men and women I've met have been extraordinarily beautiful. I don't think you can generalize about Arabs either, as with any people there are some ugly, most average, and a few quite beautiful.

Just another sign that CNN is a sinking ship. All their talent is bailing out for the only high and dry ground left in the industry.
Good on FNC for this pickup, she'll make a great addition to the lineup.

They don't call it FOX news for nothing!
