Then he moved and changed his name (probably was his legal)!<br />He still has that voice and integrity that is sorely lacking in todays news shows. I too loved H/B but did watch WC when there was important events.<br />Great post!blopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-48445600050979373892009-07-22T21:04:53.174-04:002009-07-22T21:04:53.174-04:00I liked Anderson Cooper a LOT when he had his old ...I liked Anderson Cooper a LOT when he had his old show. That was NOT in prime time, and had a different tilt/focus. He did a fantastic job reporting on Katrina, and that's when he got bumped up into his current horrid spot.<br /><br />I'm also completely NOT surprised that Time Magazine's poll winner for "Most Trusted Newsman" is Jon Stewart from The Daily Show. He's unapologetic about what he and his show are, and I always enjoy his take on the day's news.DPUTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972128797520034784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-25111179436455154102009-07-22T17:14:48.018-04:002009-07-22T17:14:48.018-04:00I enjoyed the heck out of this post!

Brown is the anchor of the series and also does reports from the field.[5] In May 2008 he began hosting a radio program, The Aaron Brown Show, based out of National Public Radio's Arizona affiliate KJZZ.<br /><br />[edit] In academia<br /><br />In 2006 Brown assumed the John J. Rhodes Chair in Public Policy and American Institutions at Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University. In Spring 2007 he co-taught a course called "Turning Points in Television News History." The class became popular with students at the university and the next year he became a permanent instructor at the Walter Cronkite School, teaching television news history. He is serving as the inaugural 'Walter Cronkite Professor' for the college.<br /><br />See also:<br /><a href="http://www.tadias.com/2009/07/22/live-chat-with-aaron-brown-and-eleni-gabre-madhin/" rel="nofollow">live chat today</a><br /><br />Hope that link works.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-64875407802150379402009-07-22T13:32:29.055-04:002009-07-22T13:32:29.055-04:00OMG!

Aaron got me through 9/11 and its aftermath when I was home recuperating from surgery and watched CNN 24/7. I miss him terribly and wish I could hear his voice every night again. Last I knew he was teaching at a university.

At least she is funny, not pompous. And once in awhile I check in on FOX. I don't have to be on that long to see their bias, but it is probably good to see the way they go trolling for believers. It is kind of a faith based station.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-80688518775661918832009-07-22T12:37:05.597-04:002009-07-22T12:37:05.597-04:00I miss Captain Kangaroo.I miss Captain Kangaroo.Mrs. Goodneedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453388163219666450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-3146797946538695112009-07-22T12:32:50.956-04:002009-07-22T12:32:50.956-04:00I loved Huntley-Brinkly and nver got into anyone e...I loved Huntley-Brinkly and nver got into anyone else. Actually all these people do is read the news in sonorus tones and wear suits and neckties well.I listen to NPR and get the rest of the news from a couple of newspapers every day. In fact, I have found myself avoiding most news these days. Without extended cable, I have no idea who most of the celebrity news readers are.
