Campbell Brown's 8 p.m. CNN show opposite Olbermann and O'Reilly won't be opinion-oriented

MarketWatch: Why Campbell Brown left NBC, joined CNN
Commentary: Anchor's taking over the competitive 8 p.m. time slot

....Opinion shows made Fox's Bill O'Reilly, who dominates his 8 o'clock slot, a TV star. This format also gave MSNBC's Keith Olbermann a high-profile platform that extends beyond his years at ESPN. Plus, Nancy Grace of Headline News has built a fan base by being provocative.

But the 39-year-old Brown says her program "is not going to be an opinion-oriented talk show. That's not who I am."

So how does she see herself competing against O'Reilly and the red-meat gang?

"I can't worry about the competition," Brown told me over breakfast Thursday in Manhattan in her lilting native Louisiana accent. "Keith Olbermann and Bill O'Reilly are two of the most talented people on television -- no question. We have to do something different, and it's going to take time for us to find our footing."...

...what will make or break Brown's broadcast is her ability to differentiate herself from Paula Zahn.

CNN, too, has the task of convincing viewers that it is presenting something new, in every way. CNN is deluding itself if it thinks it can merely offer a variation on Zahn to flourish against two very determined rivals in O'Reilly and Olbermann....

Which of course, I like. ;)

She has been brutal on the Sunday talk shows - totally out of touch, predictable in her support of power, and that's Bush-Cheney.

The hell with her and her husband. We don't need more of this kind of crap.

:puke: One more show I'll never watch. :puke:

to get a sense of how news is being played out and she comes across as decidedly wrongwing. Not only that, her husband is a Fox Bushbot.
Katie Couric also came from a Democratic family, and you see how she played out.

edited to add the Freeper "reviews" http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1401952/posts

in regard to lying about an insurance company. And why should she be a Democrat because her father is one?

As to freepers, I wouldn't know. I never go to that site. I avoid it like the plague. So thanks for the link, but no thanks.

All i know is that i've seen a great deal of Brown and when she interviews Bushbots, she positively glows.

Fox News contributor and former flack for Paul Bremer.

an "opinion show" in the same way that o'reilly is.

olbermann does some opinion and there's a relievedly progressive angle on the news, but o'lielly is pure bloviating and not the same thing at all.

keith has a lot more comedy, too.

KO deals in facts and bo deals in his stupid ego shit.

By that do they mean Olbermann is the red meat gang?

'discover' should be interesting - or not!

Don't they know there's no market for that kinda thing?

I'll have to update the PhotoBucket for Campbell.

Took same path from Weekend Today to CNN ...

then to dumper.

:eyes:

Why bother?
