3. A letter from someone who LIKES Bush
said that this was disgraceful, and that Bush was toast..(paraphrasing) :)

4. I monitor main stream from time to time
but Aaron Brown read a letter from one of his viewers, and a hard core Republican

The man suported the war, and suported Bush... but due to all the events over the last 72 hours he is now asking, did we go to war for this? Can I suport this?

He also said he used to be a prison warden and what he saw sickened him to the core.

And as Brown said, if Bush has lost people like "John" then he is in more trouble than he realizes.

I tell you this is beyond the tipping point and a sweet moment, but that only means we need to redouble our efforts

7. I didn't know about the new producer, but he has been doing
a pretty good job recently. I wonder how long CNN will let him continue?

15. Isn't Aaron Brown the News Director over there?
If so, that might insulate him a bit.

8. He will be the ONLY one, then.
Wolfie and Candy and the rest of their ilk are STILL spreading already de-bunked lies.

I guess ONE is better than NONE, but really...when can we expect CNN to broadcast news, not sensational crap?

11. Aaron Brown has a terrific show!!!
He tells it like it is!

He called the Bush Admin when they tried to shut down the 9/11 commission. He told viewers to call & email Hastert & Bush.

Aaron also has Wes Clark on a lot. Clark was the commentator during the war, & they spent hours together.

9. I'll start watching Aaron again
I've been boycotting CNN due to their relentless whoring. Our media has let us down. They have failed to cover the lies and abuses of the Bush administration. They're cowards who are more concerned about access to the White House than reporting what is happening in our country.

13. Aaron Brown & Lou Dobbs
are both fair & telling the truth.

The rest of them at CNN? Forget it!

Among the worst: Judy Woodruff, Candy Crowley, Bill Schneider.

10. Also said that the US now looks cruel and weak
because of the prison abuse and Fallujah. Man referred to himself as a foreign policy hawk. Said Bush's campaign is in trouble if other hawks like him are asking these questions.

12. And "john" is correct
slowly I think the media is startign to wake up from its
stupor.

I'd say one reason is Air America Radio, the other
white meat... and where i get most of my listening
pleasure these days, over net stream

14. I've been boycotting CNN too.
Turned on Brown to see what was going on and he's been good. Maybe I'll give him a try again. I heard that Lou Dobbs was really good tonight also. So they still have 22hrs of broadcasting to improve.

16. I TiVo Brown and Dobbs everyday.

When I get home later, I scan through it to see if there's anything I want to slow down for.

I especially like it when my buds here on DU alert me to a good segment.

That goes for Keith Olberman on MSNBC, too.

(Edited for comical typo)
