Former CNN’s Aaron Brown, Cry me a River. I thought he was Gone?

Hey Aaron, I think I will have a nice Brie to go a long with your whine. Today former CNN news anchor Aaron Brown did what he does best, complain why everything in the news industry is so terrible to I would justify his lack of ratings when he was employed. Some people will come up with any excuse.

“Truth no longer matters in the context of politics and, sadly, in the context of cable news,” said Aaron Brown, whose four-year period as anchor of CNN’s NewsNight ended in November, when network executives gave his job to Anderson Cooper in a bid to push the show’s ratings closer to front-runner Fox News.

Funny how Aaron did not think that the powers that be at CNN did not also think the same way as he claims the left & right both do. CNN not interested in the left’s viewpoint? Now that is priceless.

Many Americans on the left and the right aren’t interested in the truth, but simply want news that confirms their viewpoints, he said. “You’d think that it’s no more complex than good vs. evil,” he said.

Then as soon as Aaron actually makes an intelligent comment like, “Television is the most perfect democracy.” “You sit there with your remote control and vote.” He has to come out with his real elitist attitude and blame his failings on the viewers.

Journalists have fallen short in presenting important news in ways that allow viewers to see how it matters in their lives. But viewers must take up the battle as well, he said. “It’s not enough to say you want serious news. You have to watch it. It isn’t enough to say you want serious debate. You have to engage in it.”

Aaron, sometimes its not about the viewers. Its about the content of the show. Yours was unbearable to watch. I’ll stick with the democratic remote control theory … bye, bye.

Joran Van der Sloot, “Girls Come and Go”.

Some things that just seem so innocent when said, yet rub us the wrong way because of who says them. Then there are other that due to circumstances should never utter certain words, phrases or comments. Such is the situation with Joran Van der Sloot. This would be a kin to OJ Simpson using the phrase, “its a double edge sword” or “it cuts both ways.”

From Joran Van der Sloot blogspot comes the following quote attributed to Joran Van der Sloot, “your awsome and dont worry about the girl to much, girls come and go!”

More Predictions Not Commented on From Steve Cohen in the Natalee Holloway Investigation

Earlier this week, many in Aruba were upset over the comments that Steve Cohen had made on behalf of the Aruban prosecution, investigators, government and tourism industry. But why not comment on all the statements that were made? Also, I guess it was OK for Karen Janssen to make the “fireworks” comment. First we had the OM and defense not happy with statements Cohen.

The Public Prosecutor (OM) has called Steve Cohen, spokesperson of the Strategic Communications Task Force in the United States to account his statements in Dr. Phil’s show of last week. During the show in question, Cohen had declared that the OM is of the opinion that the three boys are guilty of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The OM had asked Cohen in a letter where he got the information from and called him to account the fact that he declared the three boys guilty.

Then the ATA and Briesen also disturbed about Cohen’s comments an put out a statement.

ATA emphasized in a press release that ATA and Tourism-minister Edison Briesen (MEP) do not agree with the statements of Cohen on the details of the investigation and the guiltiness of the three suspects.

Cohen had already made such statements in Dr. Phil’s show that was recorded on January 10th, five days before Caribbean Hotel Association (CHA) conference. Cohen’s statements had been on the Task Force’s website for some time. Cohen had also added an elucidation on the same website. Both articles are meanwhile removed from arubatruth.com.

Of course the fact that Steve Cohen is a spokes person for the Strategic Communications Task Force and Arubatruth.com is the on-line communication vehicle for that group just makes it all the more puzzling why they would need to take down any article from the web site. How can there be a communication issue? They are the same entity? Maybe this is the lack of communication that Dave Holloway and Beth Twitty have been discussing for nearly eight months.

However, its not just the Dr. Phil show that Steven Cohen was making such comments and predictions. Sure the American public heard Steve Cohen’s comments regarding the guilt of the three suspects, but did they hear it from The BBC Caribbean?

Dave Holloway: “Everything points back to the three suspects”

Holloway Family Waits and Hopes

For Meridian insurance agent Dave Holloway, this day is far from the norm. However, every day has been this way since his daughter Natalee disappeared last May in Aruba.

“From what I’ve heard, that there were just some holes in some of the students’ statements that they just wanted to fill and from what I’m hearing they’re just trying to lay a really solid foundation in order to move forward in this investigation against the three suspects,” said Beth Holloway Twitty of Mountain Brook, just south of Birmingham.

All the family can do is sit back and hope that Aruban promises are fulfilled.

“We hope that Aruba will show us they do have enforceable laws, such as perjury and obstruction of justice and rape,” Twitty said. “You know, I think that we need to see that.”

“Well, they’ve always given us hints that something would happen and it never did but hopefully something will happen by the end of this month,” said Holloway.
