Ex-Seattle news guy Aaron Brown got canned at CNN this week. Unfortunate, since he was the only anchor on that channel that I could stand to watch anymore.

Maybe they can just turn the dang thing into the Wolf Blitzer channel, and you could get gems like this 24/7:

Actual quote, taken from a transcript on CNN's website. Wolf is looking at the latest video from New Orleans following the landfall of Hurricane Katrina:

"As much as you see that picture, though, you simply get chills every time you see these poor individuals. As Jack Cafferty just pointed out, so tragically, so many of these people, almost all of them that we see, are so poor and they are so black, and this is going to raise lots of questions for people who are watching this story unfold."

-Wolf Blitzer, Sept. 1, 2005

What a disappointed to see Aaron Brown leave CNN - he was informative and intelligent. I loved to watch him with his quirky half smile and sardonic sense of humor when the news/newsperson became ironic and dim-witted. I'm hopeful that he'll turn up on another anchor position. I will no longer be watching CNN for my news, it and it’s so called news programs have become no better than another version of FOX news.

I CAN’T STAND Anderson Cooper! Anderson and his storm chasing news reporting… is that what we call real reporting? Where did he get his journalism degree? What is cracker-jacks now giving journalism degrees away in each box? Come on CNN, wake-up! Anderson Cooper is not reporting the news; he is including himself as part of the news.

Good luck to you Aaron - hope to see you soon!
