Who is your favorite cnn host?

[julialnyc]

I'm limiting it to hosts of shows not reporter (but I do love Christiane Amampour (sp?) and Cafferty of late)

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. Meh. Anderson is the best they have. I say they need to

bring back Mike Malloy and put him front and center.

URGENT yet easy! Hold the government accountable for Katrina's aftermath

20. Mike Malloy on CNN

"And next Mike will be here to tell us how the Bush crime family wants to make him vomit blood." :rofl:

[GreenPartyVoter]

24. Nah, Mike is the real deal, he would PROVE how they make him

want to vomit blood.

Gross, but true.

28. when was he on cnn?

[ClintonTyree]

2. Do I HAVE to pick one?

None of the above? None available? Don't know? Don't care? Refused? Work with me here, there's gotta' be another choice available.

[LSK]

3. I think Anderson Cooper will run away with this

However BEFORE KATRINA, I think Aaron Brown might have won in a close one.

[julialnyc]

7. Aaron Brown is still my favorite

I do like Anderson, but before Katrina I tended to watch Hardball (and Mathews drives me nuts!) at that time slot simply because 360 had so many fluff topics

[Totally Committed]

4. Christiane Amanpour would have blown everyone else away!

But, I voted for Cooper because of his amazingly compassionate and fair reporting from and since Katrina.

I have always liked Aaron Brown, too.

That havong been said, as soon as the Katrina stuff is over, I resume my boycott of CNN until they start covering the Bush administration far more honestly.

[cynatnite]

10. If she'd been on the list, I would've voted for her...

so Cooper got it. He's been really good and I like him.

[CottonBear]

12. Christiane Amanpour is apparently not allowed to broadcast from the US.

When is the last time you've even seen her on CNN? They keep her on the CNN International broadcasts.

[txindy]

19. She was in New Orleans

That's when we believed CNN was serious about exposing Junior's failures, when we saw her reporting from there.

[CottonBear]

21. Really? How did I miss that? She's not been seen here for several years.

Wow. CNN is feeling its oats.

[txindy]

25. Here's what I could find

I know there's more, I just can't locate it, even through the search function. :shrug:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2076845

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0509/08/pzn.01.html (well down the page):

CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, CNN CHIEF INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Police cars escort refrigerated trucks full of bodies collected from the floodwaters of New Orleans. This is how the federal government says it wants to pay respects to Katrina's victims, many of whom still languish in the disease-ridden waters.

Here in the tiny town of St. Gabriel, nearly 70 miles from New Orleans, FEMA has turned a massive, 125,000-square-foot warehouse into a morgue to process and identify the bodies. Medical examiners have now started round-the-clock operations to X-ray, photograph, fingerprint and take DNA samples from the victims.

Mayor George Grace says the dead could exceed even the town's own population of 6,000. GEORGE GRACE, MAYOR OF ST. GABRIEL, LOUISIANA: This is our contribution to the overall tragedy. And this is the only role that we were chosen to play, and we intend to play that role.

[julialnyc]

22. Christiane Amanpour is CNN's chief international correspondent

Christiane Amanpour is CNN's chief international correspondent based in London

[julialnyc]

14. I purposely left her off because I know everyone loves her

but unfortunately we the public doesn't get most of their news from her reporting.

God, I would love it if she had a program of her own!

[julialnyc]

34. she is doing a special with Bill Clinton coming up

she is married to Jamie Rubin so they must be friendly

[julialnyc]

35. it is tomorrow at 8pm ET

President Clinton's Global Summit: CNN teams up with President Clinton for a global summit on poverty, climate change religion and corruption. (Christiane is the host)

[crispini]

5. I (heart) Anderson

but I had to show some love to Soledad for her exemplary coverage during Katrina.

[faithfulcitizen]

16. Soledad did do a really good job. She went way up in my book nt

[Verve]

6. Hey! You forgot Limbaugh's girlfriend.

I don't know her name because I always turn her off.:puke:

[julialnyc]

11. Daryn might be off the air

I looked up the hosts and the situation room is listed twice (once at her time slot and then later at the normal time)

[Verve]

13. Oh, sorry to hear that.

:sarcasm:

[Cocoa]

8. Wolfy

because he has real news, and "boring" guests like foreign leaders, and he's serious.

[faithfulcitizen]

9. Other- Rob Marciano! okay, not really a "host", but he fills in

every now & then. Me thinks he'sa hottie! Here's a thread I posted (w/little response...) http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4004972&mesg_id=4004972

[Autonomy]

15. Can I vote for Abbi Tatton?

Just for her journalistic excellence. Really. You can't prove I have any other motive!

[lpbk2713]

17. You put in Larry King's name as a joke, right? .................... right?

[julialnyc]

18. maybe for a curiosity

I put all the different time slots hosts in the poll....... but would have been scared if he was a favorite!

[MemphisTiger]

23. Soledad for the eye candy factor

I get my news elsewhere

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

26. For pure looks - news anchor Betty Nguyen

But I would say it's a tossup between Anderson Cooper and Aaron Brown. The latter two have both disappointed me greatly at times and also heartened me at others.

But Betty Nguyen is the one I most like to ogle.

[MemphisTiger]

33. She is nice too

[triguy46]

27. Isn't Regis a choice?

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. If I HAVE to choose one, I'd say Cooper and that's ONLY

because of his chutzpah when covering Katrina.

[OhioChick]

30. Anderson or Aaron n/t

[Iris]

31. other - I don't watch CNN

or any cable news

[julialnyc]

32. My reason for choosing Aaron is because of his Iraq coverage

he must have great producers because he does some very touching segments. Did anyone see the piece he did on all the casualties with the last name Smith? It was beautiful. He knows how to make people see our soldiers as individuals instead of just numbers.

I also like how he rolls his eyes at Bush all the time (he is very subtle, but you can see he can't stand Bush)
