Dutchess resident Soledad O'Brien loses CNN anchor slot



CNN has replaced Pawling resident Soledad O'Brien and Miles O’Brien, co-anchors of “American Morning,” according to a report by McClatchy-Tribune.
Both are expected to stay at CNN. Their replacements will be CNN’s John Roberts, 50, a Canadian CBS alum, and Nepal-born Kiran Chetry, 32, recently hired from Fox News Channel.
Soledad O'Brien, 40, and Miles O'Brien, 47, who are not related, debuted on “Morning” in June 2005. The change is being attributed to sinking ratings.
Soledad O'Brien spoke at a fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina victims in December at the Bonefish Grill in Poughkeepsie.

sweet kiran kills kelly- Fox news ( time to show some action)

Well, i somewhat agree with Borntobewild . Initially, when i knew bout her, i was really impressed with the job she is carrying out, of course being a nepali but i think with the resources and position she has right now she can contribute towards to our economical, political or even educational condition if she is ever interested in working for her birthplace country. I agree that she is doing great over here in States but she should realize that Nepal needs her more than America. America is full of people like her. But no offense to her...................she is doing her job greatly here in America. However, she can do better.

Anyway, feels good to know that Nepali are actually evolving out now. These people could be good inspiration for newcomers. Keep up good work.

Not very long back, there was some news on Whoopi Goldberg’ connection with Guinea-Bissau, a small West African country as big as Maryland. The news might have been senseless topics for many gossipers, but that ended up helpful for that relatively unknown African nation. Person like me who had no clue on Guinea-Bissau now know there is such a country. People also came to know about political, social, economical conditions of that country.
Kiran Chetri might not have a celebrity stature of the size of Whoopi Goldberg, but one can feel her presence these days. She is attractive, and a likable host but with an unusual name. So the televisions viewers might be interested to know more about her. In the process, they will come to know about nepali people, Kathmandu and above all Nepal. Thanks to Kiran Chetri!
From her side the best possible mark of respect for the Nepali community would be to make public her connection with Nepal, and she does that and it matters a lot for us at this moment. When the country is in complete mess and has to deal with very abnormal situation of terrorists as the decision-making body, every bit of introduction of Nepal before the world community will surely be helpful in due course of Nepal’ political existence. Thanks to Kiran again.
