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.

she's just an infobabe, she is not setting editorial or content policy for the network.

[Rastus]

But it's a symptom of the thinking of those who are setting the policy. The more they make it look like CNN, the less I watch. Then again, I don't watch FNC anymore anyway.

[Paul_Denton]

I have always been a big fan of her. She is gorgous!

[Paul_Denton]

I have heard that she has conservative leanings. Yes you can consider that a yes.

[Paul_Denton]

That there is the best single argument against burkhas.

Yep! Iranian women are absolutely gorgeous.

[Paul_Denton]

That is a very good question.

[Paul_Denton]

Glad we won't have to worry about her being a media apologist for the regime.

Yeah. She is one of the most out-spoken critics of the current regime there. Definently on our side.

[Paul_Denton]

I'll just mute the sound if she starts spouting CNN liberal garbage.

I doubt that she will. As stated by others, she is against the current Iranian regime.

why did CNN let her go..?

[Paul_Denton]

She was the only reason I ever turned CNN on.

Same here :)

[ken5050]

There is only one possible explanation for this...It obviously means that we bomb the Iranian nuke sites on Wednesday, after the SOTU..

[Paul_Denton]

I do not know. But glad she is with Fox. She may have went to fox by her own choice too.

[operation clinton cleanup]

she fair and balanced?

Who cares? She is just reading a teleprompter and is not unpleasant to look at!

[Paul_Denton]

Iranian babe ping.

[ken5050]

guess this means she has a face for radio, right?

[moose2004]

Nice!

[AmericaUnite]

I guess I'd rather hear from her than that Pally loving Amy Kellogg.

[pcottraux]

FNC's ratings continue to do good. Coincidence?

[Paul_Denton]

I think not :) Just wait until you see CNN tank even further.

[Paul_Denton]

I never knew Amy Kellog sympathized with the pali-scum.
