The Republican Operative

*I don’t know where she went.

You probably remember her from the graveyard shift at CNN a couple of years back. Rudi Bakhtiar , this Persian beauty is now working for Foxnews as a general reporter for the network, but she can be mostly found at 5pm Eastern time on the “The Big Story with John Gibson” , apparently she was brought on to help his ratings.

Rudi Bakhtiar was born in California (1966), however she was raised in Iran until the revolution in 1979, when the the terrorists took over, (one of which went on to become president of Iran :)).

After arriving back in the states, she got her bachelors in bioligy with hopes of becoming a dentist. Obsviously, that didn’t work out, otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this article on her.

Later, Rudi went to work for CNN and well, you know the rest.

From what I have gathered and researched on the internet, Rudi Bakhtiar seems to be a very quiet down to earth person. Politically, it is hard to gauge where she stands.

*Update, she is now working in the late afternoons (5pm) on the show Happy hour in Fox Business.

I was surprised to learn that this news babe has been with Fox News since the beginning of the cable news channel. I have been watching Fox News since about 2000, but hadn’t seen her until a couple of years ago when they made her a business correspondent.

From what I have gathered, there really isn’t any surprises with her. She was a local reporter and an AP writer before this gig at Fox News.

I have seen her many times in the round table discussions with her boss Neil Cavuto, she is very careful to not go one way or the other politically. Although many of the issues discussed on the show are business related, obviously there is a correlation between business and politics.

As I said from my observations, I would judge her to be anywhere from moderate-apolitical. I remember in one show she agreed that tax cuts do help the economy, no democrat I have ever heard would utter such a thing.

**This post is out dated, but I am slowly recovering the highest viewed ones, I will also add the comments.

Every morning when I wake up, I turn on the TV, tune to Fox News to watch Fox and Friends while I prepare my coffee before heading out for the day. The first thing I see is Kiran Chetry’s beautiful face giving me the headlines and commenting on whatever the top story might be for the day. I’m happy admiring her charm and natural ability on the air. I tend to suffer through Brian Kilmeade and the blonde guy who looks like the blonde guy from Full House…Steve Doocy, actually they both have the same stale drum-roll humor, kind of freakish really.

Now, I have nothing to back this claim up, but my guess is that ED Hill has a family member or close friend working in the upper echelons of Newscorp, the parent company of FoxNews, who got her this gig. Her shrill and incessant talking-like-you’re-dumb-and-overemphasizing-things is mainly why I want her replaced full time by Kiran Chetry. Now, if you are not a long time viewer of Fox and Friends, let me tell you how it works. At 6 A.M. Kiran Chetry is usually there, I guess this is too early for her majesty ED, to get up. At 7 AM(I usually turn off the TV at this time) ED Hill rolls in until 9 AM. So, luckily I usually miss ED Hill on a daily basis, which is a good thing.

However, there is a disturbing pattern I have noticed and I think is very telling of ED Hill and the “connections” I eluded to earlier. For some reason, whenever a very big story breaks over night or before the show airs, ED Hill is usually there at 6 AM. If it is a regular run of the mill day, she doesn’t show up until 7 AM.

In summary, here are my recommendations. Fire ED Hill from the Fox and Friends morning show (put her somewhere behind a desk where we can’t hear her). Replace her with Kiran Chetry full time on Fox and Friends, which by the way, I guarantee you will get you way higher ratings…don’t believe me? Just do a search for both and see who comes up with more fan sites.

One more thing, my wife fully supports my position in this matter
