Is it possible for Paula Zahn to betray at least a LITTLE honest emotion?
Throughout her coverage of Katrina, she has virtually seemed incapable of breaking form, of breaking her stylized presentation. Just like Aaron Brown. Maybe it's a factor of doing her work from inside a New York studio half a country away, I don't know.

1. Max Headroom showed a lot more emotion, but that was...
...'20 minutes into the future'. Our current NewsBot Avatar technology just isn't up to that level of sophistication yet.

What? You think Paula Zahn is a real person? Look closely at her neck sometimes, and you can see a faint texture seam. Seriously.

2. We love Aaron Brown. He doesn't follow a script. He asks tough
questions.

Now is not the time to start running down the very people who are bringing us the only information that is out there.

6. We? Speak for yourself.
I went through this the other day with someone....not interested in revisiting it. If you like him, that's your prerogative. I simply do not, that's mine.

Peace.

10. Aaron Brown is a journalist
and a lot of other media types could learn a lot from him.

5. No, I've never seen it happen.
I did hear on DU that she got pretty angry about Michael Brown's claim to have not known about the people in the Superdome for a few days, so maybe there's a human heart way down in there somewhere. She seems like one of the faux news droid-ettes though.

11. She is a personal family friend to the Bushes, and
I have heard she is a godmother to one of Neil Bush's kids.

14. Who is she married to again? (Can't remember, but it a Wall Street big
wig, or something...like Andrea Mitchhel's spouse).

I have seen her exhibit a lot of emotion r.e.: 9/11. She did a special commemorative anniversary and played up the emotionalism and nationalism to a nauseating degree. I think that was when I really knew I disliked her. She is cold, contrived, and should not be considered a journalist because she is so obviously partial to B*, Israel, and the Iraq War. I haven't watched her since before the elections, and will never do so.
