The chicken cutlet padding in her bra? Yeah, I always want my serious newspeople to take the padding out of their bras on late night tv.

There's two reasons she's at Fox. And they're the same two reasons most of the other bubble-headed bleached blondes are there.

I think it may have something to do with a group of no-life losers who literally do nothing but watch FoxNews all day, make screen caps of the women, post online about them & bombard FoxNews with emails about how much they love to watch Courtney Friel and Ainsley Earhart. www.reportercaps.com

This is the new audience of Fox, http://www.reportercaps.proboards99.com/index.cgi?board=fox&action=display&thread=116&page=12

I was going to put in how "hot" she thought Shep Smith is. How dumb knowing he's really not into girls. Stupid broad.

She can't handle ANY news. Mispronounces words. No adlibbing skills. Can't read a TelePrompTer.

I believe this goes WAY BEYOND Fox not being serious about news. As I've pointed out, hiring Tee Vee talent for looks is nothing unique. But usually the talent has news chops to back up the face and figure. This woman has no socially redeeming or news value.

Some suit at Fox REALLY likes her for some inexplicable reason. The obvious? What Roger Ailes and Co. need to realize is there is NO TRAINING this chick. If at least she could fake it to make it. But the woman can't even pull that off.

What's going on here? Someone (at Fox) please tell me!!!!!!

They also stick her on the late morning show with ...

They also stick her on the late morning show with Skinner & Scott, to read the list of stories that are the most clicked-on on the FoxNews website. Wow, that's some major reporting.

Not very impressive for a "politics reporter.: http://courtneyfriel11.lyro.com/

She can't handle breaking news, she can't interview people who aren't actors, she can't adlib, she can't offer opinions on anything complex (or anything non-Hollywood). Her airtime is way out of proportion to her capabilities, and it seems that she was given a new contract. Makes no sense and tells me that Fox isn't serious about news.

She's been there more than a year and it makes one wonder why she is being kept in a position for which she is clearly unfit. Sort of like sticking Brit Hume on MTV's TRL.

Can anyone figure out why she gets so much airtime in proportion to her limited capabilities? Rudi Bahktiar is not only a beautiful woman, but also intelligent and has experience, yet she was hardly given a chance before the Fox suits tossed her out.

Marty, you left out the part of her blog where she gushed over how "hot" (actually "um hot") Shep Smith is. She used to be on his shows all the time but seems to have disappeared from them. If only that would apply to the rest of the network.

You put her on your New Year's list People I Wish Would Disappear. I'm with you. It's great to look at beautiful women but this one doesn't belong on a TV news network. There's no "bringing along" this woman, just like you said.

You've written about the animosity at Fox over this woman. I can assure you it is true. We're all wondering why she is here.
