Nebraska StatePaper.com has captured my feelings:
Score another victory for the mud-brained champions of mediocrity - otherwise known as the management at CNN. Bowing to the perceived benefit of catering to fans of hair spray and insipid blather, the network is planning to remove Aaron Brown from his anchor spot on NewsNight. First, the network fiddled with the program's format, then added Anderson "Look, Mom! The wind's blowing!" Cooper. The other night Paula "Oh, tell me how you feeeel" Zahn was at the desk. Mostly, we feel embarrassed for her when she styles her hair with a cake mixer then proceeds to ask really sappy questions. Brown represents down-to-earth, intelligent interviewing. He understands context, and how the things that happen in the world reflect on the human condition, including the human comedy. Somewhere, amid programming aimed at IQs exceeding room temperature, Brown will find a place. We hope it is one that will let him do what he does best - present news as reality, rather than soap opera.
