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.

USNepali, Kiran Chetteri was not born on US, she was born at Kathmandu Nepal. Check her on wikipedia.

Sayani ko Jaagar mannai parcha!!!! LOL

Nepali naam matra bhaera ke garne, Mero cousin chha Nepal ma, usko naam Michael ho...but he is a Nepali.

Yo ta Dhoti harule gare jastai bhai halyo ni, kunai NR Dhoti le katai naam rakhyo bhane " Indian" le garyo bhanera media ma khub halla garchan!

Chill out guys!!

No matter what she has achieved or where she was born, all I can see is that she's one red hot smoking belle...Shah Rukh, watch out, you're gonna have some major beef with me if you ever goes around singing "tu hai meri Kiran" again!! LOL

Well, I don't see any rationality in taking pride on Kiran Chetry being promoted to CNN anchor or whatever. I wouldn't consider her a true Nepali. Its a mere concidence that one of her parents happens to be Nepali but she hasn't done anything that it takes to be Nepali. Can anyone pinpoint her single contribution to Nepal or Nepali community. I guess it would be a fat NO. She might have achieved a lot in her career.....good for her but I won't take pride on that as a Nepali. Having Nepali name doesn't make someone a true Nepali, I believe.

She is not a Nepali, she is an american, period.

तातो न छारो, चिसो न हिलो! कागलाई बेल पाक्यो, हर्ष न बिस्मात!

tei ta..it seems like some Nepalis want to claim her being the property of Nepal or something.. i don't think she gives a damn.. she's an american.. i and most people would catorize her as white american.

well guys it's great that nepal's name has been attached with sth positive (which is kind of rare and that I believe that as Nepalese we should be proud of) Well she is hot,,elegant,,and of course with brains,, Anyway it's your individual right to think whatever you feel,,it just shows how each individual is,,of course some of us neither can do sth good that would make his/her people proud,,nor can be happy with anyone around us doing sth good.. nothing wrong with that,,it's in our nature,,( like Nepali Congress, UML and whoever else)..

I know there are other asian anchors in CNN,,like betty nguyen,,who apart from being a TV anchor also honors other events in favor of asian culture,,and I know people from her community who are proud of her for what she has attained rather than displaying a typical taliban attitude.. So why cant we speak a few positive words and be happy that a Nepalese lady made it there,,and attained a position that even americans would die for..

great achievement...good for her but i dont think she considers herself as a nepali.

I do not care what she thinks about Nepali and Nepal..
All I see is she is doing quality job.
