I'll take a Aaron Brown and the guy from 'The Mole' to start (Anderson Cooper?)

No way. Aaron Brown and Anderson Cooper are two of their best on-air people. Dump Paula Zahn and leave the morning show to Anderson and Jack Cafferty (who actually do all the work on the show anyway, while Paula sits there and looks pretty, and does the occasional puffball interview).
Dump: Serena "MTV" Altschul, the entire Talk Back Live staff, and Jason Bellini. Oh and of COURSE dump Serpenthead and Forehead from Crossfire!

Speaking of wood,is Andrea Thomspon still there? She's the blonde babe with the incredible voice who used to be on NYPD Blue.
To: sneakypete
She quit, what about Lynne Russell she is kind of a fox.

Nah, she's already hit the road.

She quit, Thanks,guys. Any idea where she went? Is her son sick again?
To: codebreaker
Serena Altchul is on CNN?She does occasional reports for "Newsnight." As far as I can tell, the only reason she's there is because she's young. Her work is AWFUL.

Her time with CNN was brief. Blink, and you would have missed it. Headline Follies collects the gaffes, goofs, missed cues, bad hair days, silly ad-libs, sneezes, coughs and crack-ups of Thompson's time behind the anchor desk. High quality NTSC (US format), Running time approximately 45 minutes.
For the true fanatic only, I think.

Hope they don't dump Judy Woodruff. The difference between her neck and her face is one of the most intriguing mysteries on TV.

Oh yeah, Lynn Russell was a red-headed(dark, not strawberry) dish. We're showing our age. I think she left, however.

LOL
And she is so warm & personable. Not an ounce of liberal condescension in her humble demeanor.

Was she really that bad? I never saw her because I don't have cable,and wouldn't watch CNN even if I did. Seems like a actress with the experience she had wouldn't have had any real trouble. I'd pay her,just to listen to her read the phone book.
