Whether out of exhaustion with the current state of television or annoyance with the celebrity-like status most news anchors seemed to strive for. We had long ago left TV news for the real news online and in print. We had whittled down our tivo-worthy newscasts to two, The Daily Show and Aaron Brown. Jon Stewart because fake news has often been more truthful than the real news and Aaron Brown because he had, in our perception at least, a genuine dignity and feeling for the subjects he covered. Anderson Cooper will surely do well and deserves a promotion. But why CNN would choose to relieve Aaron Brown instead such long-running disasters as Larry King and Lou Dobbs (or any of the bobble head dolls over on Headline News, for that matter) is hard to comprehend.
