It's reasonable to assume Aaron might perfer to allow a recorded program introduction, but, I sincerely doubt it. Somehow, Aaron doesn't 'cave' that easily. So, although he wrote his own tribute to Peter Jennings in his e-mail the program intro was recorded.
Let's see if NewsNight lives upto it's bigoted attitude in supporting Police Brutality in Los Angeles and supporting Christian theory placed in the same 'category' as Evolution.

The 'issue' of Christian Intelligent Design was used as an inticement to pull people into a program that was never going to discuss it this program hour.
True to form the Executive Producer lavished her love of death and grieving by embellishing the issue of Los Angeles Police Department Brutality with lots of images of a grieving mother. Ms. Lopez is supposed to be understood in grief but failed in her attempt to stop the bullet barrage of the LAPD even with a crucifix she held in front of them begging for mercy as her infant daughter was in the building with her father now under fire.
The LAPD openly and viciously stated Mr. Lopez was a known legal issue. That is supposed the settle the arguement in the police's favor.
Not with me it doesn't.
Nothing is that simple.
The LAPD knew this man. Hence, the criticism and not exoneration of the police needs to be addressed. Supposedly according to this accounting there is an investigation. Investigations under this administration amounts to nothing. They are exercises in futility. The fact of the matter is The Lopez family was probably well known to the police regarding domestic issues including drugs as well as the social service department. If anyone bothered to look beyond 'the moment' the police are defining their actions around there would be a significant record that easily points to intervention that should have happened long ago. As a result of the failure of 'the system' to protect children and police that no longer care to know the neighborhoods they patrol but only seek to kill with overwhelming force a nineteen month old child is dead when she should not be. THAT is something you will never hear from this program.
At 10:54 pm the Religiously Bigoted "Morning Papers" segement played.

Always building hate with intentions of attracting Evangelicals? No probably just satisfying some stupid federal rule about 'bended knee' televison. I expected Barbara Walters to lead a pray vigile for all the superfluous nonsense she spouted tonight on Larry King Live regarding Jenning's First Wife. Barbara used the downcast 'eyes of curtosy' so frequently I though she was about to don a Nun's Habit. Evidently, the 'picture' that was supposed to come out of that mess was the concept that men who have only one wife in life don't die of lung cancer. Sick. The programming of CNN always carries these weirdo agendas of immoral judgement no matter what the subject.
Why is the Barbara Walter behavior inappropriate? Because it is becoming a cultural disciminaiton people with one surviving marriage are useing to falsely inflate their egos. Just last week during another interview with Walter Cronkite (It was actually Art Linkletter. Needless to say the show didn't impress me. The average age of people on Larry King Live has gotten to be close to ancient. A little more contemporary would be interesting, too.) the 'message' that he was chosen for evangelizing against the drug culture with the death of his daughter. He noted he was not among the many married. He paused for a moment as if to realize his host was but being gracious Larry King made little of it. I find the 'discrimination' rude, unkind and socially encouraged by this news team to produce a social 'attitude,' as if they could. Divorce happens for whatever reason it does including domestic violence. If an attitude based in religious dogma exists frequently what occurs is what we witnessed within the context of this one hour program in Los Angeles. Socially we went through this mess decades ago. It's wrong to retrograde our society as if we need to revisit all the social ills this form of basically 'hatred' manifests.
There were similar dysfunction with this program as with most the others. The division of time was different in that Aaron anchored more 'live' time but the same tone and same racism existed.
