Aaron Brown's NewsNight

Aaron live and Wilma - 5 seconds - Frankenstein - do I remember? Yes, but I doubt if a damn computer does.
1001
Aaron live and Wilma then to Anderson. There is the big Anderson pitch. The National Guard is undermanned and unequipped to handle Emergency Relief efforts.
1003
Now the National Guard pleading is followed by Chad and the next emergency.
Amazing.
1004
Chad and Anderson and the SUPER DANGEROUS STORM. Oh? I thought there was two other two Cat 5 storms. This is just another. What is the SUPER danger there Anderson?
1006
Chad to Aaron "He is good, man." Oh? I don't believe he did well with Rita.
1007
Dana Bash and 'Background Noise and Opining'
1009
Dana to Aaron and "Why would people at the highest level of the administration be as concerned in one Op-Ed article in the New York Times?
The Sixteen Words. IT WAS A LIE. Bush and Cheney knew it. Cheney turned the wolves loose on the public and outed a CIA agent in retaliation. Mr. Wilson is a private citizen as well as an agent of the government. He was retaliated against that threatened his spouse's life. IT'S A BIG ONE !!!! You actually have to ask. Most of us don't !
1011
Tom DeLay's picture then commercials
I thought the review below was interesting. Loosen up Aaron you aren't at your best.
1014
Anderson Cooper and cruising with the New Orleans Police. This is a 'come on' to service deserving a hero status. The police even refer to the assistance of the military. According to Anderson, "They wear the uniform proudly inspite the difficulty they face with proceedings and personal strife."
Hey, Anderson. Police are important. But, if it is necessary as in New Orleans the people of this country has learned WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. Thanks anyway, though. There is that nice little interjection by the New Orleans Police Commissioner about how the place looks like a nuclear bomb went off. WOW !

Ah, retaliation for being 'out there' huh? Ah, just another delucsion I am sure. Prosecution comples. Right.
Shame on you all when you were showing global warming commercials by BP during AC360. Well, I don't care what message an oil company makes it's nothing but ludicrous if they are still drilling for oil.
Death raises Sudan oil tensions

Oil and power are never far apart as the SPLM realised
The untimely death of the South Sudanese leader John Garang in a helicopter crash has re-ignited competition between oil companies.
Many are keen to develop Africa's most promising untapped reserves.
Garang had ties with a small British company, White Nile, which claims exploration rights to an area which may have up to a billion barrels of crude.
There's speculation his death will strengthen French oil company, Total, which also claims rights over the area.

Anderson and the Chief of Police and the grulling work of a New Orleans Police Officer. "There is still places that look like an Atom Bomb." He said that so easily. Not rehearsed is it?

Anderson and The Whip Around the World - Fine, consider this Anderson. Time to reflect on how you are glamorizing the military and ask yourself how you feel about your own service? You did serve didn't you? No? Oh.

Aaron and then to Chad. Wave at a NOAA Buoy at Cancun of 32 feet.
1036
Aaron and mothers that kill. The children were in San Francisco Bay. Schizophenic off medication. Great. Bush's America.
1038
A woman detective in uniform. Aaron and Heather Fong, Chief San Fran Police. She cannot share information about the case. The recovery in the bay is still being conducted. San Fran police and fire department will continue to attempt recovery.

Aaron and Susan Smith and the death of her five children.
1044
Aaron on tape and a work up of the San Fran tragedy. Andrea Yates and Post Partum Psychosis. Yeah. Texas has to retry the case because Andrea's TEXAS Shrink was incompetent.
Darly Luteer another Texas mother. Children killed and then herself.
North Carolina mother stoned her sons to death. Wonderful. "God said to do it."
FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM TO PROTECT CHILDREN. Protect children? Also to protect women. Do you actually think those women wanted and relish the fact they killed their children?
You know 'fuming' is not a strong enough word. I suppose CNN should instill so much fear in fathers that no matter the type of medication mothers might be on they should not have peace of mind. Why would a mother even consider being treated with anti-depressants as their children might be taken from them and they could lose their marriages.
It's no different than the self-righteous MALE driven society regarding rape. It's always the woman's problem.
Yeah, well Dads kill too. They probably should have been on medication but weren't because they need to be 'REAL MEN.'
1047
Andrea Yates on medication and kept in a mental institution. June 20, 2001.
Adverserial system is that the best way to handle this crime?
"At least in place a system that can make a valid legal and medical condition. Leteer and Susan Smith are not comparable to the Yates case."
If the prosecution has to prove they understood right from wrong. There is no justice accomplished.
Does she know what she is doing is wrong is not a definition for a jury - the psychotic world in which these women live are riddled with illusions, etc.
ANDREA HASN'T RECEIVED HER SECOND HEARING YET. LET'S NOT TRY HER BEFORE SHE GETS THERE.

Aaron and the "Big Easy"….

Anderson and 12 deaths from Wilma.

Lucial Newman from Cuba - "Donut?" She's very nice. She is a journalist with ease. "People are scared and nervous about this storm due to Rita…. People have little resources to protect their property… no hardware stores, wood or nails. The after math of the storm hits hard."
1107
Anderson to Chad - www.noaa.gov
"Low confidence forecast"
20 to 40 inches of rain for Cuba is not unrealistic.
Anderson - is there any forward momentum
Chad - still seven miles per hour

Anderson and FEMA. The lone ranger in New Orleans during Katrina.

Anderson and onto ……………. And the FEMA agent that was never regarded as important. The e-mails are very alarming, indeed.

News Secretary. She's very good actually. I like Christy. She is more serious than what's her name? She still isn't a minority. But, then who is on this show?
1117
Anderson - UN investigators about Syria and Hariri.
1118
To Brent Sadler. What happened to Aaron?
1119
Anderson and Brent and preplaning. TNT was used that wiped out the Hariri motorcade. High level of sophistication and therefore there was high level government involved. The event that forced the Syrians out.

Anderson to Aaron - Lebanese jubilation. Commercials.

Aaron and on to Jamie McIntyre. The Afghanistan and burnt bodies of Taliban. American soldiers 'literally wanted to smoke them out.' Desecration. But, the Iraqis aren't supposed to incinerate and desecrate the American contractors in Fallujah leading to the invasion of that hamlet costing over one hundred lives. If the USA was frustrated with the Taliban then I guess the Iraqis are equally as frustrated with the Americans, huh?
Thank you, Jamie.
1127
Aaron and commercials. We don't get much of Aaron tonight.
1129
Aaron standing and more news items. Whip Around the World. The Yucatan will still be there but the biotic region will be rearranged a bit. I don't think the storm will weaken much on the other side of the Yucatan either.
1131
Aaron to Chad - North, Northwest. That has been it's path. It was northwest for a while but not long enough to say it has changed it's direction. It has been North Northwest. 35 mile across 'eye.' "The Mexican Riviera."
1133
Aaron to Susan Candiotti - Cancun - evacuated. Cancun downtown where people are filling up. People are given 'survival packages' to bed down in the ballroom. What a shame. The trailing precipitation is not that long. It is a wide storm in the Caribbean but not a long one.
1136
Aaron and the murder of Pamela Vitale. This is horrible. The haves and the have nots. "He dressed that way but didn't act that way." Hm. That is not unusal. That is a 'what is that family in England.' Ozzie. If I am not mistaken that is like the Ozzie Osborne culture which does not promote violence.
1138
Aaron to Anderson - Nancy Grace's memory of the circumstances. What did Daniel know about the 16 year old that could have been threatening to him? 'fraud.' Credit card theft. A fight with Pam that day. But, they were at the house and not at the mailbox. He killed her and showered to cover up the act. He wasn't a very good criminal. What ever drove this young man that wild? Vicious murder. I mean he wanted her dead and then branded her? What the heck? This isn't an ethnic killing, is it?

Anderson at Bourbon and Conti. "The Coast Guard completely rocks." They did a great job. That is not the National Guard either. The scene here is a lot of levity and there was a lot of people with pain in their heart. The woman was looking for her nephews. They went to Superdome. They got separated. So the kids are okay. In an apartment in Texas. See. This is the issue Jessie Jackson is trying to close. Families are separated, displaced, poor and without resources to get to each other. Communities are destroyed. That was Reverend Jessie Jackson's complaint, Anderson. He knows the plight of the poverty of the people that were abandoned when they were evacuated. The same poverty issue exists in bringing them home and putting families back together. What is the complaint by society of the Black Community, Anderson? They have broken families. Do you understand Reverend Jackson a little better now? It's okay not to but please don't victimize him until you do, okay? He wouldn't do it to you.

ANDERSON COOPER 360°, NEWSNIGHT
By Troy Patterson
Anderson Cooper 360°
Airing weeknights at 7 pm on CNN
NewsNight
Airing weeknights at 10 pm on CNN
Has a newsman ever before vaulted into the TV pantheon with the speed of Anderson Cooper?
Two months ago, before his coverage of Hurricane Katrina made him an instant institution, the 38-year-old Cooper was merely the host of an above-average cable news show, "Anderson Cooper 360°," that professed to mix hard news and hip pop. Despite a resume suggesting reportorial tenacity and no matter the seriousness of his presentation, he was best known as a silver-haired pretty-boy—a mannequin for handsome suits in many a fashion spread, a son of the heiress Gloria Vanderbilt and the subject of speculation among a certain subset of media addicts about which way he swings.
But after the deluge: Him! He was urgent and anguished, and he fought back tears on a live feed! According to the main line of opinion, in beating back the platitudes of Senator Mary Landrieu on September 1st—"I got to tell you, there are a lot of people here who are very upset, and very angry, and very frustrated. And when they hear politicians slap—you know, thanking one another, it just, you know, it kind of cuts them the wrong way right now"—he crystallized the attitude of the Republic.
"Righteous indignation," said the Times. Check. Nice work. But to judge by the fuss, we had witnessed the second coming of Cronkite. Or even the birth of a hero on the order of Network's Howard Beale.
No hype being complete without a backlash, The New Republic pointed out that a few moments of aired outrage did not translate to the revolution's having been televised, and the San Francisco Chronicle—peevish in the weeks since CNN installed Cooper as the co-anchor of what had been "NewsNight with Aaron Brown"—went banana-crackers: "The Anderson Cooper cult of personality must end."
Must it? Last week's news that Cooper signed a million-dollar deal to write a memoir for HarperCollins would suggest that it's just starting. Cooper's agent has said it will detail the anchor's "life as a journalist and human being in Sri Lanka, Africa, Iraq and Louisiana/Mississippi." That "human being" bit is key. Cooper's whole thing is humility, approachability—"relatability," as they say in Hollywood.
Unlike the bygone Brokaw-Rather-Jennings triumvirate (or Brian Williams, his only current rival in big-league news reading and a prodigy of blow-dried hauteur), he is not the paternalistic type. He presents himself as a reporter rather than an authority, while Brown—whose mixture of pomposity and mock-folksiness makes him look like a parody of an anchorman—treats his co-star like a senior statesman humoring a whippersnapper. Cooper gives you the sense that he is deferring to his goofy uncle. His voice is anti-sonorous, as he stammers and stutters and you-knows, ticking off information as if he were a living newswire.
