Wow – who knew there were so many loyal Aaron Brown fans out there? When TV Squad first reported that the CNN anchor had left the network, and his time slot had been handed down to that silver fox known as Anderson Cooper, the commenters went all out in defense of their boy Brown. Later, when Bob Sassone asked readers to pick their favorite of the two anchors, Cooper took a beating in the comments. "If Anderson Cooper can bring his unique brand of inaccurate hysterics,
honed to perfection during Hurricane Katrina, to NewsNight," wrote commenter Morgan, "I think [CNN]
can look forward to continued great ratings." Ty Bloom was even harsher: "Anderson Cooper is a hyper-active hysteric, almost as high-strung as Wolf Blitzer is monotonous." So Bob wrote a third post, this time in defense of Cooper – and he's still getting it from Brown's die-hard supporters. How do you feel about the changing face of CNN? Go on over to TV Squad and say your peace.Anderson Cooper Smackdown on TV Squad

1. How do we pressure--whatever "powers-to-be" to get Brown back on the air at a meaningful time with national coverage? It is mind boggling that Nancy Grace --who is a whinning embarassment is still on the air in a prime time slot and Brown is off. How do we send a boycott message to CNN to get its mind back on track of what is and what is not important?
