Has American Morning co-host Kiran Chetry found a new way to arouse the flaccid ratings of her slumping program? As producers began the second half of the show early today to the lurid lilt of Aerosmith’s “Pink,” co-anchor John Roberts pointed to Kiran’s pink open sweater and deadpanned, “My favorite color.”* Smiling knowingly, Kiran risquely remarked, “It’s my new obsession.”
When Michael Calderone asked about a possible “radical re-thinking” of Jon Klein’s news network in his “How to Fix CNN” Politico article, who knew that Kiran might be thinking proactively outside the box? In the past, Kiran has said that pink is one of her favorite colors. And, with her major in broadcast journalism and minor in women’s studies (at the University of Maryland), the Nepalese beauty may have discovered a winning formula at last.
Watch out, Fox & Friends and Morning Joe. Today may well mark the dawning of a new American Morning. Rise and shine!

CNN needs to get rid of the desk and do the show in a more open atmosphere.

So, Chetry minored in women’s studies in college. Well, I guess that explains her liberal feminist, pro-abortion views. Can you just imagine the liberal claptrap that is taught by those women’s studies professors?
I really don’t think that Kiran’s wearing of a new color is going to bring better ratings for the program. Maybe she should try boning up on journalism basics like field reporting and keeping her political views to herself.
