Elegy for Aaron Brown

He was somber, he was corny, but he cared about news before Anderson Cooper made it cool.

    A loss for CNN

    I too am saddened that Aaron Brown will not be continuing at CNN. Mr. Brown possesses such class and style, and he evidences a great maturity in his reporting; I have always found him to be a stellar news anchor. I also enjoy Anderson Cooper but I see him more as a wild card, a top field reporter who is wonderful at adding an on-site perspective to the news stories of many a CNN anchor (but Cooper is a fidgeter when seated, appearing as if he can't wait to jump up and get out of the studio setting).

    While Cooper is perfect in his current capacity, Mr. Brown's poise and delivery trumps Cooper's style hands down, and I'm immensely disappointed that CNN management is choosing to cancel Mr. Brown's contract; I will greatly miss him.
