Aaron Brown, CNN's NewsNight host, e-dropped his daily show preview in my Inbox, and behold what he had to say about tonight's show, under the fold...
We'll look into this fuss over the so-called reporter for the Talon "News" service who resigned yesterday from covering the White House. Actually, almost every word in that sentence could have been in quotes. He wasn't, by our definition, a real reporter. Talon isn't a real news service but the story to my mind is actually about something else. So, while this story has kicked around for 24 hours we'll take a different look at it tonight by asking if left wing blogs went too far in "outing" the guy simply because they disagreed with his politics.
(Emphasis added)
Yeah, it's all about his politics. May also have something to do with truth, deception, the legitimacy of "journalism" and the hypocricsy over "values" in the White House.
The whole thing is somewhat surprising, as Mr. Brown has been perhaps CNN's most sympathetic anchor (Beats the Hell out of Wolf and Zahn!).
Anyway, fire up the email retorts and get ready to blast away. Gonna be a long night.
