What is CNN thinking?

I think CNN made a big mistake in putting Silver Boy, er, Golden Boy Anderson Cooper in the 10 p.m. slot and letting Aaron Brown go. I was no big fan of Brown initially, but my wife liked him and tuning in to CNN became a habit at our house. I grew to appreciate his sincerity and apparent humility. I thought he asked good, honest questions.

I gather that CNN is desperate to catch up with FOX in the ratings. I thought Cooper's 360 show was how CNN wanted to grow its young audience. Putting him on at 7 was smarter than at 10. At seven, the young crowd is still near a tube, probably eating a dinner of cold pizza over the sink. At 10, they are partying or seeing a movie or playing video games. They are not watching TV news.

Only we newsroom relics are watching news at that hour. As we prepare for bed. I say Bad Move, but we'll see. . . .
