Aaron Brown Out at CNN (Drudge)

He referred to himself once as "The Face of CNN," and this was when he had been there less than a year or so. I think of old-timers like Wolf or Christiane as the "face" of CNN>

Ego and self-regard (badly misplaced) for days. He was also fierce competition for Sominex.

[STARWISE]

Thanks .. now who's going to be out in the natural disasters, stumbling and screaming into the mike?

[pissant]

Me too. I'd wipe the floor with the competition. LOL

"Could there a whinier voice than Aaron Brown?, you ask.
Yes. Maureen Dowd has a whinier voice.

So, let's guess who will replace Aaron. Would CNN follow it's heart and hire Dan Rather? It could happen.

Or would they go for hip and irreverant, and hire a Keith Olberman clownish buffoon type?

One thing for certain, CNN will not go for fair and balanced. I think Rush was right awhile back when he said CNN had a liberal audience and would just stick with pleasing them. Pat Buchanan made a similiar observation about CNN on Matt's radio program last week.

I bet CNN will go for a male/female tag team. Two nice looking ABC or NBC retread airheads.

[N. Theknow]

Both his viewers are deeply saddened.

"Aaron Brown Out at CNN (Drudge)"

What'd he do, start making sense?

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

It will be a hot chick, you can make book on it. They are desperate. Possibly a former NFL sideline reporter or maybe a famous liberal lesbian from hHollywood, but it will be some chich who is attractive.

[CDB]

It shouldn't be surprising to any FReepers that Aaron Brown started at Seattle's CBS affiliate, KIRO TV.

[GretchenM]

His audience was an echo chamber.

lol

[fjsva]

Or another guess: MSNBC will bring him in to replace Keith Olberman.

That's the only swap where you could consider AB to be an improvement.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Too bad J. Fred Muggs wasn't still alive, they could hire him to replace Aaron Brown, and leave Cooper out there blowing around in the hurricanes.

[Lancey Howard]

I would add my "good riddance" to Brown except that since I never watch CNN

Oh, nevermind. Good riddance to Brown.

[TC Rider]

CNN Talk: Aaron will be leaving CNN and is very much looking forward to some well-deserved time off with his family.

Translation: He was fired.

[fjsva]

....the one who was said to have made some comments trying to set Condi up ....

If Shepard Smith didn't get a suspension for his J-Lo comments then Rosen should be embarrassed but keep his job.

[M203M4]

That dude! I tossed the tv a while ago, but he WAS one annoying person. If the content on CNN wasn't enough to change the channel, his appearance certainly was.

[gaijin]

It's breathtaking, now, how irrelevant TV has become to my life. I get my news online, and what a lot of news I go through...!

It's coming round to a point where a weird form of snobbery that is beginning to dawn on me:

I've never seen this face, this "Aaron Brown", before setting eyes on this web page, and I AM PROUD OF IT!

I'm not making this up...

[wolfpat]

He was one of the original hosts of ABC's World News Now. They were funny because they knew the bosses were asleep, and they could do or say anything they wanted to.
Before I had a dish, it was all there was to watch in the middle of the night(I'm in the boonies; no cable.)

[MikefromOhio]

I didn't even know he was the anchor on CNN anyway so what's that tell ya?

:)

[St.Chuck]

I'm sure his viewers, all ten of them, are deeply saddened!

I must have been one of those ten, but incredibly, I haven't the slightest twinge of sorrow.

[msnimje]

This is AOK with me but I hope Roger Ailes does not offer him a job!!

It looks like Joe Klien has a man crush on Anderson Cooper.
