I put this together when he presented it.
Tonight in Aaron's e-mail he stated, "The rooster is always ready. " Then at the top of the segment Aaron stated how he loves this time of the show. That statement never made the transcript.
The 'enhanced' edition of Morning Papers was some time ago with a crowing Rooster and a statement of how much he loves the critique he delivers. Also there was a great deal of compassion during this news hour and I included it here. That enthusiasm for the material presented during the show was repeated tonight ( June 8, 2005 ) when Aaron mentioned the failing president's polls as noted in the Washington Times.
My point to this is that Aaron is a great anchor demonstrating over time a consistent pattern of reporting people can count on when he is left to his own whiles and FAIRNESS.
The segment then:
(ROOSTER CROWING) BROWN: OK, time to collect morning papers from around the country, around the world. Lots of good ones today. Do I say that every night? Sometimes I do and I don't mean it. I love this. It just tells you so much about Miami. "The Miami Herald,"
two top stories speak to the cosmopolitan nature of the city.
"Venezuela Owns Stake in Ballots."
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/front/8780409.htm?1c
The Venezuelan government has a 28 percent ownership in the company that will help voting results in future elections. I'm sure that makes everyone feel comfortable. And they also put the flooding in the Dominican and Haiti on the front page.
"Devastated Town Can't Get Flood Aid" is "The Miami Herald."

DURING THE PROGRAM
SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hello, Aaron from the Dominican Republic. In fact the government is planning an air assault of sorts tomorrow dropping disinfectant from the air over one of the hardest hit areas. And, in Haiti, one small village is under 10 feet of water.
From New York this is NEWSNIGHT.(COMMERCIAL BREAK)BROWN: On the Caribbean island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic a reminder that not all disasters are manmade and that while nature's motives may be neutral that doesn't lessen the damage.Fierce rains over the weekend led to major flooding which led to mudslides and now whole towns, whole families have been wiped out. More than 500 people are known to have died. Thousands more are missing, the death toll expected to rise.CNN's Susan Candiotti is in the Dominican tonight.(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)CANDIOTTI (voice-over): Days after Sunday's violent storm bodies are still being recovered from a lake, swept into the water when currents carried away entire homes with sleeping families inside.Dominican Republican President Hipolito Mejia flew to the hardest hit town of (unintelligible) to see the destruction firsthand. The U.S. ambassador also on hand.HANS HERTELL, U.S. AMBASSADOR: We've been told that some places like over 200 homes were just literally washed away near that water tower. Boats out by a lake recovering some of these bodies and it's pretty grim.CANDIOTTI: In town, despair and disbelief."It's been four days" this woman says "and it doesn't look like my country."Mud fills homes that defied the storm and for some meager belongings that were inside appear unrecoverable. In other cases, household goods are now cluttering the streets.This man says people here have lost everything.Parts of roads remain under water or damaged further isolating villages. Power is out. There is damage to crops, much of it sugar cane, and livestock has been lost. Immediate concerns remain drinking water, food, clothing and shelter. Up to 15,000 people are believed to be homeless.(END VIDEOTAPE)CANDIOTTI: And to prevent a possible onset of disease from decomposing bodies that already have been buried, the government is planning to drop disinfectant from government airplanes tomorrow. It almost sounds like something out of a movie script.And an equally troubling situation in neighboring Haiti where a small town called (unintelligible) about 30 miles out of the capital of Port-au-Prince that town is said to be under more than ten feet of water. A U.S.-led international force is continuing to bring relief there but to make matters worse forecasters, Aaron, are predicting more rain in the next few days.BROWN: Susan, thank you, Susan Candiotti in the Dominican Republic tonight. My goodness.Coming up on NEWSNIGHT still the former archbishop of Boston gets called to Rome. Some feel such a reward is not in order.From New York this is NEWSNIGHT.
I should actually say that to the end, since it's the Chicago paper, shouldn't I? That's how we do this every night."The Santa Rosa News" in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. – A New York Times paper

They have helped me out by putting that on the front page. It is just graduation. And that's why I liked it. The kids in Santa Rosa are graduating. And that should be front-page news. It's not everywhere, but it's nice to see it here."The Cincinnati Enquirer" leads local also. Actually, almost the whole front page is local.
"City Cancels 'Cops' After Two Days."
The show
http://www.wcpo.com/news/2004/local/05/25/cops.html
The cancellation
http://www.enquirer.com/midday/05/05282004_News_mday_cops.html
That's the TV shows that's on one of those other networks. "Infighting at City Hall Leaves Streicher" -- that's Tommy Streicher, the police chief -- Tom Streicher -- "To Halt Filming." That's lead in Cincinnati. Also this weekend, it is the taste of Cincinnati. I love those things when all the restaurants come out in Cincinnati. It is like 1,000 different kinds of chili over noodles and with -- you know, the Cincinnati chili.
"The Detroit News," good front-page story there, too.
"Michigan Abortion Ban Revived. Voters Petitions OKed That Will Let Lawmakers Bypass Granholm." She's the governor, vetoed the partial-birth abortion ban.
http://www.enquirer.com/midday/05/05282004_News_mday_cops.html
They also put sports on the front page. Game four can seal it up for the Pistons. That would be the Detroit Pistons.
http://www.detnews.com/2004/pistons/0405/28/index.htm
I like this story in "The Detroit Free Press."
"U.M.'s" -- University of Michigan's -- "Next Class Looks Whiter. Why Is Debated."
http://www.freep.com/news/education/um28_20040528.htm
That's a very good story. We should look at that. "Chicago Sun-Times," just the headline.
"Alderman Tricked By Her Gang Lover." You just can't get a better headline than that.
