John Roberts is joining Fox News Channel as a senior national correspondent. For the past 4 years, Roberts was at CNN, co-anchoring American Morning from 2007 until last month when he exited the program to move to Atlanta. At the time, CNN executives said that they were discussing Atlanta-based reporting positions with Roberts but he will now be reporting for rival FNC. “We are excited to welcome John to FOX News — his reputation as a skilled journalist with years of notable experience in the field will be a valuable addition to our news programming,” FNC’s SVP of news editorial Michael Clemente said in a statement. Before American Morning, Roberts served as CNN’s senior national correspondent and as anchor of This Week at War, the network’s program examining international wars. Prior to joining CNN in 2006, Roberts spent more than 14 years with CBS News, serving as the chief White House correspondent and chief medical correspondent as well as anchor of the weekend editions of the CBS Evening News and CBS Morning News.

Sad to see a fellow Canadian, ex- MuchMusic VJ go from a liberal station to a propaganda conservative network. He’s making Canadians look bad. Shame.
Why would Mr. John Roberts (aka JD Roberts, for those Canadians) make Canadians look bad? He chose to become an American Citizen, marry an American, he lives and works, almost more than half his life,in the USA. He may have been born in Canada, but chose not to stay. Life is made up of the choices we make, and his choices make him American not Canadian. So how did Mr. John Roberts become a Canadian representative? He doesn’t represent me, for I am Canadian. Good luck JD! We Canadians wish you all the best! Thank you.
Does this mean you are also disowning Justin Bieber?
It’s about the money. Do you really think John would stay in Canada and barely make a living?
I demand that Canada apologize for Celine Dion
I’m sorry
I feel sad for Fox. Hiring propagandists from CNN is a big fail ….
Hilarious. Ask Juan Williams of NPR if Fox is propaganda. He’s on every night, free to spout his liberal nonsense. Same with Shep Smith. Besides, Roberts is going in as a “journalist,” not an opinion maker, like Hannity, or O’Reilly, or Beck.
Dude, people gravitate towards winners.
“Winners”?
Donna, even the worst network nightly news cast does better ratings wise than even the highest rated show on Fox “News”. That’s a FACT. Look it up.
As for Juan Williams, he’s just there for Fox to say “See? We employ ‘liberals’, too!” when in point of fact his takes dovetail with theirs.
And Fox “News” isn’t even the highest rated overall cable channel. For quite a while, USA Network has held that honor.
You are right on. I also think he is not as liberal as the others on
CNN and he likes Fox News.
I wonder why some Americans can’t see that Fox is the most truthful, has the
best hosts on TV. I really like Glenn Beck. If he stubbles on his words
now and then, at least he is honest trying to get America to get the truth
about what is going on behind the scenes. I went to Goggle and read all
about George Soro’s and Glenn was right about everything he said about
that iky man.
I have dual citizenship (American-Canadian) and I had zero clue that Roberts was Canadian. He does not have a Canadian accent when he speaks.
Boy did I laugh when I read the headline because he’s going from uber liberal CNN to Fox News.
I knew that he and Kyra Phillips were expecting twins but never knew they were married. When?
That was my reaction, too. A former Canadian…sheesh. Making a bad/sad choice where he will be respected far less.
Guess the dollar does motivate, don’t she?
Another lame attempt by Faux News to buy credibility, ala Greta Van Hatchetface. Enjoy the Dark Side, John.
Classy move to attack someone’s (Greta’s) looks tough guy. And for the rest of you attacking John’s background as a VJ, lest you all forget that Keith Olbermann was a sports highlight announcer. And now is as vaunted a jounalist/opinion maker as there is.
Nobody considers Olbermann a journalist (including Olbermann). That said, there is a HUGE difference between using vetted facts to support your case and deliberately distorting or ignoring facts. There is bias at MSNBC. Fox News continually lies.* These are not equal.
* citation – www .google .com (go to town)
Olbermann is a bafoon. He’s a smarmy smear merchant bought and paid for by George Soros. MSLSD is nothing more than a Socialist propaganda arm for the kook left. They don’t ever allow conservatives on Keith O’s show out of fear that he might have to back up his lies. What a joke.
Let’s see…how can we pick this apart?
1. You can’t spell. Crack open a dictionary next time.
2. You can’t prove George Soros has anything to do with the network or Keith.
3. Nice way to misspell the network.
4. Wonder why that is? Ah, yes…they’re over on Fox preaching to the choir.
So, “Truth Detective”-you’ve already whiffed, and you’re down 0-1 in your second at bat. You are hereby banished to the minors(aka Free Republic)!
They won’t go on his show. They can’t get away with their lies. None of the other stations hold their feet to the fire.
Hey – let’s get it right – JD was the FIRST Canadian VJ, breaking ground on late night City TV, before Much Music was even in existance. Rock on John !
I, too, was going to mention the ex-VJ note, but am glad he’s going to a well-oiled news outlet. Nothing to do with shame. A smart and informed person like he knows what’s what.
wonder if John Roberts is going to sit there and take it as Sean Hannity calls the United States the greatest country that God has ever given the world – thus Canada is a land of second place losers in Jesus’ eyes.
Canada sucks. Truth hurts.
Ha! That’s funny. You wish the USA was more like Canada. We have an overall better quality of life and the world loves us. Your cowboy comment is the reason the rest of the world despises the USA.
That’s funny! Canadians can’t even work up the stones to defend themselves at home and almost sunk the used eBay submarine you bought while trying to tow it home.
You’re damn lucky you have strong people down here willing to defend you as well as themselves.
And Fox probably had to hire some dumb liberal from CNN to fill a quote-hire position. Sort of like how Odumbass got to be president.
Oh give it a rest. Canadians need to be more thick-skinned. You guys are so easily baited. You’ve got a great country, so get over your bad selves. I don’t think either of our two countries are going anywhere, so I guess we’ll just have to like each other and get along…..next topic.
I definitely do not wish that the USA was like Canada. Never in a million years. And I have dual citizenship.
The problem with the USA is how stupidly Christian you are – you guys live in fear and turn to religion for answers and guidance. What do you have against gay marriage? Marijuana? Healthcare for all? Affordable education? Yeah, exactly. You’re a country of haters. Sooooo glad I live in Canada especially since the US is no longer an economic power and it’s headed downhill FAST. Good riddance John Roberts, we don’t need you on our side. Fox can have you.
Is Roberts still repped by good old timer Henry Reisch at WME?
Is CNN really that liberal? They seem to be the “tell us what you want!” station to me.
That’s true, if what people are telling them is “We want biased, uninteresting, low-ratings crap that we won’t watch!”
And God invented MSNBC so that CNN would have someone to laugh at.
I guess money talks, bs walks…
Well at least you admit that it’s a liberal station, which CNN never does. What makes you think it’s not a propaganda liberal network? Or is that ok?
CNN is hardly liberal. The reason they do so poorly is because they try too hard to be neutral, and so there aren’t enough dumb motherfuckers like yourself who will watch because it reaffirms their dumbass political beliefs, a la FOX News. They have no serious blowhards like MSNBC or FOX. They have Wolf Blitzer…
I watch CNN every morning for a couple of hours. I think they are super liberal. I do not watch Fox News because they all annoy me but CNN is definitely liberal.
I knew he was toast at CNN the minute he scolded Kiran Chetry on-air for her unprofessional behavior. Still though, sad to see FOX buy into him. They must have gotten him on the cheap.
He’s a big bowl of Vanilla.
“Fox the past 4 years”
Freudian slip, bay-bee!
In cable news world;
FOX News #1
CNN #3
Perhaps that’s because more progressive-minded people have better things to do with their time than sit glued to the boob tube for five hours a night soaking up rightwing lies and propaganda. Did that ever occur to you? I’m sure Muslim Saudi Prince Al Waleed, who owns a large stake in Fox News parent News Corp, appreciates your loyalty. So keep waving those Chinese-made flags, Dittoheads. It’s what long-haired anti-war socialist Jesus would have wanted.
LOL @ Canada. Well… on the subject of insignificant countries…
who is Kiran Chetry?
In the cable news World of Facts:
CNN #1
FOX News #14
prove it!!
Right, so Fox News continually lies. Lies and distorts all livelong day and never retracts lies/exaggerations/mistakes like other media outlets do. Funny how the rest of the media doesn’t make hay on this to destroy Fox News credibility to the public. CNN could have a regular “Fox News Lie of the Day” Faux News should be an easy target for the straight news reporters like Anderson Cooper, right? (And that’s straight as in “horizontal, in a line” straight, not well, you know…) Explain to me why they don’t.
“Explain to me why they don’t.”
Well, if CNN were to go the route of trying to put on a regular “Fox News Lie of the Day” feature, their hypocrisy would be VERY quickly called out. For every “Fox News Lie of the Day” they tried to “report”, Fox would easily find and report a half dozen untruths and half truths espoused by CNN as fact.
Neil Peart was unavailable.
Wolf Blitzers final score on celebrity jeporady was -4600. Need I say more?
Yeah this guy always seemed like he belonged with the other parted to the right hair do hypocrite right wingers over at Fox who don’t have a clue.
Roberts has finally been hired by the lousy GOP backed network he has been trying to get into for the past 10 years.
He should fit nicely with the other right wing dummies at that network who aim to brainwash the stupid and ignorant people of the US. LOL
The previously posted statement that “the reason CNN is in the rating cellar is because they try to hard to be neutral” is so ridiculously naive that I just snorted my coffee.
Once again Fox News snatched up talent from CNN. Fox continues to siphon off all the talented anchors, pundits and reporters that made CNN the place to go for news and opinion. The familiar names and faces will guarantee that Fox will clobber their competition for another decade.
For you libs with your head in the sand about the power and popularity of Fox News, here is a link to an article in your beloved Huffington Post listing the top 30 news programs of the year. I am laughing at the troll who claimed local news gets better ratings than Fox.
This was a good career move for Mr. Roberts! The end.
IN THE INFAMOUS WORDS OF ONE JOHNNY MAC, “YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS!” CAN U? JUST SAYING? HAVE A DAY!
Didn’t we learn anything about the Tuscon Tragedy? Stop calling each other names………fight civily…….STOP BULLYING!
Canadians have always picked up the mess when American policy has soiled itself all over the world. If ever we needed good neighbors, now is the time. We could learn alot from the canucks, they don’t shoot their leaders.They have free health care and an education system that is far better than ours. I can’t think of any other country I would rather have as a neighbor. As for Mr Roberts, there’s something wrong here. At CNN he defended civil rights, what will he do at Fox?-
John, John, John, WTF! What happened to you?! We, and I mean, the viewing public, at least the ones that are split down the middle when it comes to either or! Yes! People, we still can be both LEFT and “right”, although, “left” is way better than “ugh “right”! Why did you jump ship? I watched you every single day and loved watching you and listening to your oppinion. AND NOW, I CAN NOT WATCH YOU ON, UGH TRAGIC FOX, BECAUSE IT’S THEIR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY!!!! John Roberts, me and my fabulous friends MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I’m sorry to let you know, it is against our principles, to watch Fox News. SOOOOO SORRY!! THEY ARE NEITHER FAIR OR BALANCED, AND YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD NOT ONLY RECOGNIZE IT BUT ACTUALLY AND VISUALLY SEE IT!!! HEEELLLOOO! LUV U JOHN!
Roberts, always looked uncomfortable doing the program, and the way he would act toward Kiran at times made me think he knew who the star is.
She is one of the best.I don’t care how long he has been in the news business, he has to accept the fact that young and talented people will
be showing up. All of us will be long in the tooth someday.
