Aaron Brown's reply to my e-mail: CNN will run KSTP story tonight...

[blitzen]

I know that Aaron is known for answering his e-mail, and also for his somewhat pissy replies, but I was still surprised to get this. The good news: it appears that he will treat the KSTP video tonight.

Oh Greg, so harsh.

I always wonder how people know what is the truth in these sorts of things. We will report the story. We will talk with people smarter than us both. At the end of the day we will know a bit more but the truth.. well you've already decided. I wait for a fuller accounting of facts

Aaron,

Please run a story about the KSTP video, filmed April 18, 2003, showing the
explosives in al-QaQaa....Since your own network and the other cable news
shows have played no small part in allowing the Bush liars to confuse the
public on this issue, you can honor the truth by running the real story.
Thanks.

1. Ha, ha--have they invented meds for chronic crankiness?

Aaron needs some.

[Shopaholic]

3. At least he responded!

And better yet, they're running the story. Of course, now we have to wait for it to air so we can figure out if they're going to try and spin it for *.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

6. Jeez, who pissed on Aaron's Wheeties? Candy?

[freetobegay]

10. Aaron's alright with me.

[rockydem]

2. nice

[Pirate Smile]

4. Good to know. Thanks. You have to at least give the guy credit for

responding, even if it is pissy (maybe I feel that way just because they will have the story tonight).

[high density]

5. He seems to take everything so personally

I don't know how he makes it through the day.

[sonicx]

7. why is it when Drudge puts crap up...

they run with it 30 mins later? :grr:

[Lex]

8. CNN never presses for the "the truth" instead they let both side yell

out their talking points and give both sides equal credibility, whether the facts clearly support one side over the other or not.

Aaron is pathetic.

[Dob Bole]

20. but, but...they let them yell a full accounting of facts!!

Brown seems like a little bit of a moral relativist. "What is truth? Is your truth better than my truth?"

[Mandate My Ass]

9. oooh why so testy?

Could it be he caught a whiff of his own corruption?

[dennis4868]

11. smarter than us both?

how does he know that the person sending this email is not as smart as his guest? For all anyone knows the person sending him an email is a CIA operative/american soldier who was at Al Qaqa on April 10 and saw the damn explosives.....what an ass Aaron is!

[seraph]

12. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Btw: In your exchanges, Please tell Aaron I said, F-Off.


ROFLMFAO!!

[NewJeffCT]

13. Aaron is famous for being, um, testy

Several other DUers have posted some rather sarcastic & testy responses from him.

[MidwestTransplant]

14. I can hear his voice saying it as I read it!

too funny

[zaj]

15. "I wait for a fuller accounting of facts"... Just like in Iraq.

[atre]

16. Isn't that the Bush spin?

Of course, Aaron and his other CNN pro-Bush whores didn't bother waiting for a fuller accounting of the facts before using their influence to drum up support for the invasion of Iraq.

[rlev1223]

17. "Oh Greg, so harsh"

Why not write back "A little harsher for the 100,000 dead civilians"
in the war Brown so enthusiastically cheerled.

[LTR]

18. That's actually a nice email from Brown

He can be kind of a prick in his emails, but I commend him for actually responding to as many as he does. He does seem to want to have some integrity, without the game playing favored by so many of his peers.

Aaron's a bit of a grouch, but he's okay in my book.

[expatriate]

19. Oooooh, how charming!

What's that line from Good Morning, Vietnam?

"More in need of a blow job than any white man in history."

21. kick n/t
