Former CNN 'NewsNight' anchor Aaron Brown said important issues, such as the war in Iraq, are being clouded over by 'mud-wrestling' that skirts substance. Brown spoke Tuesday at The Society of the Four Arts.



Brown has covered many newsworthy events, including the O.J. Simpson trial, the Columbine High School shootings, the death of Princess Diana, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the D.C. sniper, the Columbia space shuttle disaster and the tsunami in Southeast Asia. He was the founding anchor of ABC-TV’s World News Now and reported with Peter Jennings for World News Tonight. He recently served in CNN’s New York bureau as anchor for NewsNight With Aaron Brown and host of CNN Presents.
