Subject: Who is going to be your "Democratic rotweiler" after the speeches tonight and tomorrow night?


You had the republican attack dogs during the speeches at the DNC.... Ralph Reed??? E. Gillespie???

You need dem attack dogs now (they are not as easy to find, I admit) but Howard Dean and David Brock (especially David knows Republicans!) come to mind.

We are watching to see your treatment of the republicans compared to the democrats. Hopefully you will not be successful in your current efforts to outfox FAUX!

His reponse (Not much but it is the first time I get a response from anybody at CNN)

no , actually I didn't have either man as a guest. but thanks for writing

2. What A Cowardly Reply.
He uses a semantic argument to avoid addressing the issue. What a dick.

14. I'm Not Sure, But Here Is A Link To Another Brown Thread...
Edited on Wed Sep-01-04 03:56 PM by jayfish
Will includes a reference to the incident in it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=1188878


The actual thread containing detail of the incident is here on DU but I have not been able to find it. It might be from before the switchover and if that’s the case the search function does not work on the old DU



EDITED FOR CLARITY

13. he's right though
having gillespie on after kerry's speech, wasn't aaron brown's doing... media matters is wrong in that, i saw he addressed it on his site... that was a call by other cnn political folks, and actually wolf blitzer was anchoring the night of the dnc address, not aaron brown.

but you're right, we should still hold their feet to the fire, in having on mccauliffe RIGHT AFTER bush finishes his speech.

let's hope they do it.

15. Aaron likes to appear nice and compassionate when he's on TV
but I get the feeling that he's a complete asshole when he's not in front of the camera. Email responses like this one seem to affirm this suspicion of mine.

17. Aaron is an arrogant asshole
I have had the same kind of snotty responses to him and so has everyone else who has ever written to him. He refuses to get it and he is defensive about the media. He really needs to go.
