I got an answer from Aaron Brown to my last night's email
when I wrote to him expressing my displeasure of the non-coverage of Cindy's vigil. I wrote: Shame on you Mr. Brown. Coverage on the Runaway Bride and hamburgers, and not one word about Cindy Sheehan in Crawford. This is no longer Newsnight, but rather Bushnight. Goodbye.

His answer: huh.

6. He has been known to send smarmy,
rude e-mails in response to anyone who would dare to criticize him. He's a smug POS. A real journalist would make an effort to find out more and get up to speed on a story. His "huh," rather than "tell me more" says it all.

12. To DU it means an action by members of DU!
I have an informational email on Cindy I've put together I want to send him.

In fact, if anyone here at DU would like to have yeaterday's email on Cindy and the one I'm working on right now, PM me with your email and I'll send it to toy. (I send them individually so no one else gets you email address!)

10. i know he's an ass, but you can't expect a cordial reply
to your angry letter. i understand why you're pissed-i'm with you 100% on it. but if you want a constructive response from him, you might have to bite the bullet and write a polite, but firm, email

but maybe you were just blowing off steam and didn't expect him to bother to write back in the first place

13. You're right, I didn't expect a response
Edited on Wed Aug-10-05 06:45 PM by tinfoilinfor2005
but I wasn't merely blowing off steam. I thought he should know that many of us no longer give a rat's ass about the runaway bride, especially when there is a much larger news story that doesn't even get a mention.

And I don't necessarily think that his response was rude, just rather abrupt. I know from reading the posts last night that he got quite a few other emails on the subject and maybe he was a bit surprised at the interest.

14. Ha! Jon Stewart just showed a quick second of Aaron Brown
doing last night's hamburger news. I replied to Brown's email saying: See Jon Stewart's Daily Show tonight for his take on your hamburger news. huh. Guess I'm not the only one.

15. Was that "huh"
as in Huh? or Whaaaa?

Or was that "huh," as in "Huh. I didn't figure that to be the case."
