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.
The lefties at CNN hired a bunch of liberals and look what it got them. A place at the bottom of the ratings cellar.
"CNN is hoping to be more balanced. For their new anchor, they will try to reanimate Lenin's corpse."
LOL!
I agree. He was tolerable over there. But, alas, ABC has younger talent doing the WNN program.
That's right. He was the one who was said to have made some comments trying to set Condi up with Lauren Green.

Looks like the fairy beat Brown into the ground.
He should have known when they made him "share" that show with Cooper.
I hope Rosy is still with Fox. I think his sense of humor makes him attractive and I can tell he likes the prez.
Because Laurie is better looking. ;o)
From CNN's bio on Brown :
Previously, Brown was the anchor of ABC's World News Tonight Saturday and reported for World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, Nightline and other ABC news broadcasts. He was the founding anchor of ABC's World News Now.

Bet he shows up on FOX...if they'll take Whorealdo and Greta they'll take anyone!
I feel his pain.
Couldn't put it better myself. Where else is that guy going to go? Ithaca?
I never saw anyone with that many teeth in my life.
I remember when Brown was on ABC's late late late newscast with a blonde chick. His schtick then was goofball antics. Maybe he should have stayed that way.
Well, you can't expect him to interrupt his golf game.
