  1. Jessica Yellin and Black In America both deserve their awards, not Larry King and he's often not live. The best talk show host...of which decade??

  2. I am wondering will Yellin eventually
    replace Campbell Brown.CNN has to
    make some decisions about where it
    is going a network. Right now they
    look like they don't have a clue.Just
    like the internet they need to update
    the stories every 10-15 minutes and
    change the content every hour, You
    can't do the same thing all day long
    and expect for people to watch in
    prime time. Perhaps she can replace
    Ali or Rick. Maybe it is me but I am
    starting to get the feeling that the
    network brass doesn't think that
    women anchoring solo can handle
    breaking news. That is exactly why
    CNN is failing, who says the answers
    are men?

  3. I agree with you. Look at Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric. CNN does give women a chance. But for some reason, they never pick the right women. Campbell Brown has zero audience empathy. No one cares whether she's there or not.
    Katie does interviews and she's likeable, and so is Diane. Campbell does not relate well to the viewer. Jessica, maybe, not as well tuned as Soledad or as sharp.
    Soledad O'Brien is a CNN gem that is totally under valued. She relates well to an audience, is bi-lingual and smart. She should take Campbell's spot.
