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.

The syrup he put out was just sickening.

[MNJohnnie]

With guest appearances by the lovely Kiran Chetry. ;o) But ONLY IN FRONT of the desk.

Bill O' is like watching a trainwreck, there must be people who watch just to see how massively he can inflate his ego and taking bets whether it'll finally burst.

[stocksthatgoup]

anyone starting a pool on the departure of Chrissy Matthews?

[bk1000]

"maybe Fran Drescher..." Yes, but on her I'd tolerate it!;)

[MNJohnnie]

Oh my goodness! Breathless Rita beats Scarborough?? Ouch

Let that be a lesson to JS. Spending all his time during Katerina insulting the Conservative Freeper portion of his audience had consequences.

[Republican Red]

In 2001, I wrote Brown an email complaining to him about an interview he did with Terry McAuliffe. It was during the Enron/Corporate scandals period. I was livid that Aaron never once brought up the Global Crossing scandal that McAuliffe was involved in.

Strangely enough, Brown wrote me back and agreed with me that he should have brought it up and called McAuliffe a "rascal".

I only watched his show a few more times and then quit it completely. Hopeless liberal wackadoo (my definition of rascal).

[blackie]

Another liberal moonbat, jerk-weed bites the dust ~ Perfect!

[linkinpunk]

Good.

His show was sickening.

Everything he said was so "syrupy." It was hard to listen to anything he said after, "Welcome to tonight's show..."

[STARWISE]

GREAT news .. is Anderson the replacement??

[1L]

Who cares? I don't think I've done any more than flip through CNN for 4 years or so. I certainly haven't watched anything on there except possibly election returns for a few minutes.

It might have been a lesson but sadly Joe didn't learn anything from it.

[BigSkyFreeper]

He has the personality of a limp fish, he's ugly, and he's not even a good soldier for his network

I think the lesson we can take away from the firing of Aaron Brown is this:

Liberalism fails every time it's tried.

[STARWISE]

Is Rosen gone Fox?? I like him.

[Bulldaddy]

Who did he sleep with anyway to get that gig?

[pissant]

Or on top of it.

[MNJohnnie]

Or on top of it.

OH YEA! I vote YOU be made President of CNN!

[queenkathy]

??? Rosen? Jim? From Fox? Tell me he's still at Fox!

[STARWISE]

They could bring back Judy Woofwoof.

[BigSkyFreeper]

is Anderson the replacement??

Anderon Cooper's show takes over the spot, and Wolf Blitzer's "Situation Room" will get a 4th hour to fill out the prime time.
