In an interview with TVNewser's Gail Shister, former CNN anchor Aaron Brown unloaded on many of the cable news characters who are grabbing headlines these days. Of Bill O'Reilly, he mocked: "He makes 30 million dollars a year and talks about himself as a populist. The only one better than O’Reilly is [Stephen] Colbert. He’s a better O’Reilly than O'Reilly." He calls him and Keith Olbermann "skilled entertainers who use journalism as a canvas on which to perform." (Glenn Beck, meanwhile, is dangerous because he "sits around with a blackboard and says profoundly stupid things, and he gets two million people to watch him.") All the same, these guys beat CNN because "CNN can’t succeed in a world where people want news to be entertaining ... Bill O’Reilly is inherently more entertaining than anything CNN does. It’s more fun to see an action movie than read a book."....
