Aron Brown is quite a drama queen. He has his gig down.
Those glasses, the bookish look, the dramatic pauses, his emotional delivery.

Good thing he's on CNN. They could not possibly have a more vapid group and he balances it out well. Just watching him, he makes quite an appeal for you to believe him.

1. I like him-
I first saw him when he was covering 9/11 so I've only ever seen him in semi-sentimental mode, but it works for him. somehow he's able to straddle that and still be a credible newsman, I guess because he seems like a guy who has a respect for old style reporting.

2. He's a douche
I hate listening to him almost as much as Wolf Blitzer.

3. About 10 or more years ago I used to watch him on World News Now.
I think it was ABC. He used to do the entire overnight shift, if I recall. Same delivery. He was/is like the Letterman of News. However, Keith Olberman is my new fave. I think he beats Aaron, hands down.

4. He used to be a local Seattle Shill
I grew up watching that guy.

I can't take him seriously.

Let alone CNN.

7. Media whore. One of the "classy" ones, for people that like that.
He's almost convincing, and he works in one of the slickest media whorehouses around, but it's still a whorehouse.

8. Peter O'Toole
