Did anyone hear Aaron Brown last night?
He opened his program by asking if media should report ALLEGATIONS made about a candidate without proof. And then went into how allegations about A CERTAIN CANDIDATES's DRUG USE in 2000 wasn't reported because reporters couldn't PROVE it.

So by inference he was saying that if the Swiftboat Liars get coverage, so should those accusing Bush of being SNOWBLIND!

1. funny thing is that Bush's records are always disappearing
and his coke record was expunged....while the Kerry stuff is just trumped up bullshit.

2. Even in a country this divided,
with a media this inept, one can still be surprised. Aaron Brown shines some rays of common sense and wisdom once in awhile.

3. I remember him when he did the ABC all night
program. It was marvelous - reminded me of the old CBS days with Sevareid and Murrow and Friendly. That's when people with education and a brain were in the media.

4. I was not happy with Aaron Brown last night
He was skirting a question trying to be coy. Which is not like him.

5. it's exACTLY like him
I keep expecting that smug twerp to wrap his arms around himself and start making out, alone

his occasional lapses into journalism far outweigh his venal toeing of the corporate media line

can't count the times I switch him off in disgust

10. It's hard to see but
the words under it say "peace on Earth is coming" I would love a shirt like that. Yours sounds cool too... Yeah, come to think of it Peace does inspire anger it's so..so..nice.

9. Of course he's a shill...
but in the grand scheme of things, he's the best we're gonna get. Whom do you prefer? Paula Zahn - who displaced him at 8 PM? Like everything else in this battle, it's all relative and unfortunately, we've had to compromise up and down the line.
