As a news junkie, I can't pretend that I will not find myself watching CNN again. But I am tempted to call it quits with what used to be the best provider of news in the industry. In fact, CNN set the standard. Now after a serious of bad decisions, it is heading in the entirely wrong direction. No, GEN X/Yers WONT be turned on to Cooper simply because he is younger and attractive. I'm 24 and I resent the implication that my generation does not acctively seek, cannot recognize and will not appreciate good reporting. I find Aaron Brown entertaining, witty and yet humble. He provides excellent observations that viewers cannot find elsewhere. I appreciated both his style and substance. I cannot imagine ratings will improve and CNN has yet again dumped one of those most able to restore its erstwhile reputation as a credible source of news. Shame!
