16. The O'Brien duo morning news coverage was informative. Too bad they were forced out. Roberts will do well, but the former Fox Chetry wasn't very impressive and it makes one wonder what is CNN thinking? CNN should bring back Aaron Brown and dump Anderson Cooper; he's not very good.

17. Oh God!!! Serwer is god awful!!! Sanjay is OK but he thinks he is Dr McDreamy. THey have made such "stars" out of Larry King, Anderson Cooper, Paula Zahn, etc that theyre all IMPOSSIBLE to take seriously....all ego and NO substance. Jack Cafferty is the last remaining JOURNALIST affiliated with CNN. They're so desperate to try and boost their ratings, they just shoot themselves in the foot over and over and over. I, too, have switched over to msnbc

18. I liked this morning show...is tons better than the networks 'info-tainment." I liked Soledad - but found her to be snide and condescending at times - but love Miles - and can't believe they are making the switch! Big Bummer.

19. Soledad is THE best morning news anchor period.

CNN is really falling to the wayside. Are they going to fire Robin Meade too now?

20. No more O'Brien & O'Brien. The were the best media couple on tv. I only watch CNN because of them. I used to watch Anderson Cooper until I heard he was gay. Never mind, now.

21. Ever notice that John Roberts has one crazy eye? He should have gotten the CBS Evening news job over Katie Couric.

Poor Nic Robertson and Christiane Amanpour need to follow Daryn Kagan and get the hell out of CNN!

23. Aarob Brown was FANTASTIC!!! He's moved on to be a professor emeritus. And CNN has to pay him off on his very lucrative contract just so they could promote that panty waisted Anderson Cooper. He got the last laugh!

27. The both of them are far better field reporters than anchors anyway. Maybe smiling Jack Cafferty will re-join the AM CNN gang :)
