Brown out

CNN dumps drippy Aaron Brown for whippersnapper Anderson Cooper. It might boost ratings -- but will it help the quality of TV news?

    Aaron Brown

    I am very sad to see Aaron Brown leave. I do not have cable, and yet if I was ever anywhere that I could see Aaron Brown, I would. He and Ted Koppel were the two I watched. Aaron Brown IS different, and isn't that the point? I think CNN is making a mistake. As a 39 yr old woman, yes, I can say Anderson is attractive.. but is that what I want with my news? No. He does a good job as a reporter. Aaron was an anchor. There is a difference. I will follow Aaron Brown wherever he goes... and shoot, I was just about to get cable.

    Aaron, gone, Ted leaving. A sad day in TV news.

    If I do get cable, there will be no need for CNN. They lost me.
