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 completely disagree with your analysis of Aaron Brown. He was the only person of any substance on CNN. The rest are just hacks. I am not shallow enough to judge news anchors based solely on their looks. In fact, I don't care about their looks at all. I don't have time to watch TV during the day and I depended on Aaron Brown to give a summary of the day's most important events without sensationalism and without any mention of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton or any other of the moron celebrities that the media fixates upon. Aaron Brown is not a "drip" because he is not swearing about the inadequacies government's disaster response. Now I will have to add Brown to the list of newscasters that I miss: Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley,Peter Jennings.....and Aaron Brown. You can bet that I will be looking for Aaron Brown on another network.
