Missing Good Friends




It would be a lie if I were to proceed with this blog without missing a beat to state there are people missing from the profile of a news agency that is to their detriment.

Aaron Brown and David Bohrman are good men and good friends to this country. They provided a news program that was world class and I remember the joy the day "NewsNight with Aaron Brown" became internationally syndicated. It was the accomplishment of these men.

There is little so say as words do not express the quality of person that filled the aire waves after September 11th to what progressed to four hours when the the USA military invaded Iraq with imbedded journalists to report back regarding the well being of the military unites.

To demonstrate the lack of quality the journalism has taken on at CNN there is virtually no reality outside that of DC and rarely do we get to hear from the finest among them so much as programming to support a regime of corruption at our nation's capital.

I'll be checking in at favorite places today. And "Morning Papers" will resume tomorrow. But for at least this morning I am taking time to reflect on an experience that was unlike any other and an unexpected pleasure in my life. During the time I corresponded with Aaron and David the programming has taken the issue of Global Warming and Climate Change seriously and for that I am satisfied I provided more than excellant information and advocacy toward that cause. I'll always be grateful to both these men.

Aaron deserves some time away. I think he'll find solice away from the face saving and the age discrimination czar, Jon Klein. This is no way to treat someone that is supposed to be this appreciated. Aaron hasn't had the chance to say good-bye so much as be replaced. Anyone can see that. The time should be interesting for Aaron as being away from a network hell bent on propaganda and political power playing results in a tilted view of the world in order to maintain that edge. If anything is true, that was an aspect to the CNN broadcasting Aaron Brown never seemed to consent to.

Best regards, Aaron. You and David should make some interesting films together.
