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.

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.

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.
Big improvement from Rita Cosby.
Wow.
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.
Thats right. Among all the liberal chix Rush has dated, or is dating, Rudi is not one.
I have an islamic pillar to show her har har. :o
Rudi! Rudi! Rudi!
Hemmer and Bakhtiar are excellent and telegenic reporters; Novak is what was Aisles thinking?
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!
Looks like you'll be tuning into Fox News more often... ;-)
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
My PERSIAN GODDESS has finally left the dark side!
I dated a lady from Tehran last year. She was GORGEOUS. Curvy, green, almond shaped eyes, light brown hair.
