Headline on Drudge's front page. The link to story wouldn't work for me.
UPDATE
AARON BROWN OUT AT CNN
Wed Nov 02 2005 15:43:11 ET
To: All CNN Staff
From: Jon Klein
We have made some programming decisions which will impact our prime time schedule as well as our colleague Aaron Brown. Aaron will be leaving CNN and is very much looking forward to some well-deserved time off with his family.
Aaron has made enormous contributions to CNN since his groundbreaking anchoring of Sept. 11th through the war in Iraq to the Tsunami to the recent hurricanes. Outside of the big stories, on a nightly basis, Aaron has provided our audiences with insight into the events of the United States and the world with eloquence and the highest journalist integrity.
Besides his stellar work as an anchor, Aaron stands as an absolutely brilliant writer, evident by the thoughtful perspective he injects into every story he touches.
Personally, I will miss Aaron and his wicked sense of humor. We cannot thank Aaron enough for the skills and professionalism he brought to CNN. Given his respect throughout the industry, there is no question that he will be missed.
CNN just goes from bad to worse. Bunch of nancyboys.

I guess they went from "bad" to "worse".
Minneapolis, but of course. Shades of Wellstone.
How will I sleep at night? that man was a walking cure for insomnia.
Another one bites the dust! Sad day for the DUmocrats!
Don't forget PMSNBC's use of the chalk board!
I do agree....Wolf and the video wall reminds me of how I feel during a high fever....
Of course, everyone wants to be unemployed! He's certainly not one of my favorites, but I think Paula Zahn is worse and that awful Jack Cafferty, too....
Wonder what socialist they want to replace him?
I'm just waiting for MSNBC to get rid of Rick Kaplan.... and especially Keith Olberman!
Oh, the "spend-some-time-with-the-family" line.
The way things are going at FOX these days they'll hire the POS.....
In the words of a CNN exec, "your salary is high, your ratings are low, sorry Mr. Brown, it's time to go."
I guess then, in a way, he is like Keith Olbermann. If Olbermann never would have left ESPN, we might not have ever known what kind of a prick he really is.
Cooper? Thanks, you're right, I don't have to bother.
What's a "CNN"?
I couldn't tell, thanks.
My dress-up shirts are the ones without Grateful Dead logos on them.
Yeah, also the boss said everyone really liked him and felt really bad about it. But when a TV news show is determined to commit suicide, there's no telling what lengths they will go to.
Oh my goodness! Breathless Rita beats Scarborough?? Ouch
Nancy Grace is now ahead of Chrissy and Keith Olberman?
You list ratings for CNN and MSNBC? I didn't realize they were still on the air. And why would CNN cancel their second most popular show?AWB
