Aaron Brown
He was the man we watched for news before, after, and on 9/11. Today, we're watching more than a few teevee personalities who were children when the events happened.
You notice Aaron Brown isn't around anymore. He was a bit of a truth teller. I'd like to hear from him today. I'd like to know what he thinks today, ten years out.
I'd like to know if he'd blame the economic disasters of today on . . . . who? On what? I'd like to know if he buys the idea that MiMS wanted to go back to DC but it was the Secret Service and the Air Force that said no. I believe, in some measure because I know he believes, that the essential story of 20 Saudis pulling off the events is true. I remain suspicious of the mythological story line of what went on aboard Flight 93. I believe the story that Rumsfeld was among the people who headed toward, rather than away, from the site of the crash into the Pentagon. Aaron Brown spoke those stories on live television in the hours and days of the actual events. I recall feeling he wanted me me to believe this but maybe not so much that.
A glom like Judy Rhulliani relives those, for him, halcyon days for the pure self aggrandizement. The "ordinary" people being interviewed relive those days, probably daily, and I am sure gain some cathartic benefit in the retelling of the story as they understand it.
A guy like Aaron Brown would be telling it like was. I miss real practitioners of the craft of gathering and delivering facts for public consumption.
A guy like Aaron Brown had one word always missing from his public persona: hyperbole.
How would he be reporting all these "terror plot" stories?
Brings to mind a few questions.
1. Is Vinnie The Dude a 9/11 Truther?
2. What would Vinnie The Dude say if Brown signed with Fox News?
Dude-Lation (translation in Dude language):
Fa venire in mente alcune domande.
1. The Dude è Vinnie uno 9 / 11 Truther?
2. Cosa sarebbe Vinnie The Dude dire se Brown ha firmato con Fox News?
