Aaron Brown was in Seattle in the 80's, stunk then also.

By the time Cnn picked him up Aaron Brown was mimicing the Peter Jennings hand-chin thingy - or was it Tom Brokaw -I do mix them up!

Thanks for the ping :-)

I had CNN on last year during the election purely for entertainment purposes... and boy, I wasn't disappointed! Aaron Brown looked like it was all he could do not to break out sobbing as he reported all the GOP wins.

He kept saying how shocked they all were and that they couldn't understood how this Republican sweep had happened... I was amazed to hear him openly admit this, but think he had suffered such body-blows all evening that he wasn't thinking clearly anymore ;-)

I remember him from when I lived in Seattle. I was surprised he went national, because he wasn't particularly exciting.

"Brown's Newsnight has many devoted fans. It's a newscast that rarely traffics in trash..."

Last night, by chance, I happened upon Aaron's cerebral news show while they were discussing the search for perpetual youth, and they focused in on some 59-yr-old woman and talked about her botox treatments...

Yeah, it's real high-level stuff. 'Cause Aaron is such a smart guy.... bwwwwwAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Brown makes me want to puke.

Don't understand King's ratings either. Like Aaron Brown much better than Wolf Blitzer. Blitzer is always so "breatless" - gets on my nerves

(For a touch of irony, check out post 24, even though I'm not sure it makes sense.)

Oh, it does...it does...

Never underestimate the power of a foil to bounce things off of.

Yep. Y'always need a good foil - especially a quick one who can keep up...

For what it's worth, Aaron Brown is the only media guy that ever replied back to an email I had sent.

During the whole Enron/Worldcom crisis I sent off an email to Brown livid at an interview I had seen him do with Terry McAullife in which he failed to even bring up the 8 million Mcaulife made with Global Crossing.

About 10 minutes after I had sent the email he sent a reply to me about McAulife calling him a "rascal".

I was not impressed what he wrote but that he took the time to reply.

Still won't watch him on CNN though.

Bwahahaha!

Anyone ever see Marlon Brando on Larry King when Brando was pssied off at King's annoying finger wag?

Classic

I'll bet Tucker wishes he hadn't said those bad thing about Fox News. He may need to apply for a job there now.

Rather is weird, but you have to admit that the crazy guy who beat him up while shouting "What's the frequency, Kenneth"? was even weirder.

You think the crazy guy who beat up Dan Rather while shouting, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" was......was........AARON BROWN?????

When the receptionist stops smiling at you on the way in, get your resume ready...almost as chilling as when your nurse can't look you in the eye and give you a bright "good morning" any longer.....
