33. Have wondered over the last 4 weeks where Kiran went....Fox and Friends on the weekends stinks bigtime now......was thinking I would have to have another news channel switch, because that new anchor on Fox and Friends just doesn't cut it. To think Fox would let Kiran go, for a poster child. Shame on Fox...if Kiran wanted more money, you should have opened up your wallets boys.

39. I haven't enjoyed CNN since Bill Hemmer left.

Miles is good and entertaining on his own, but not partnered with Soledad. She's too boring.

42. WHAT? What???? CNN are you nuts???? Thats it for me, I'm going back to Fox News where they don't only report fair...but are fair. This network never knew when they had a good thing. Maybe you should find out what the people want, and who they want to watch. You make enough money...pay your damn people so they'll stay. This is the trouble with RICH and POWERful CONglomerants, they forget it is us little people that helpped get you there. Assholes..

Kiran Chetry did not getBOOTED from Fox......Her agent demanded TOO much and Fox said no way....I love Kiran....She is smarter than she seems.She speaks fine, maybe you don't understand proper english.

44. The BEST thing that FOX ever did was to get rid of Kiren Chetry. She is HORRIBLE and terrible to try and watch. That is why CNN stinks, unlike Fox. They just keep on taking the second helpings and lefty overs at FOX thinking that they will suddenly become succesful as well. Not gonna happen. But at least hert voice isn't a KILLER like RITA COSBY! Oy. That is hard to listen to. She needs to get the frogs out of her thraot! hahaha....

45. Yes people, Kieran Chetry DID get BOOTED from FOX. yes they were disgusted by her agent but they also clearly said that they were disgusted with HER. WHY you ask? Because she demaded that SHE get airtime and wanted a particular other Fox woman taken off the air. Fox thought this bitch had ALOT OF NERVE (which she DID) and they told her AND her agent to go take a flying leap. SMART MOVE Fox. Now I remember why I love you guys! You're too smart to fall for the bullshit!
