Issue:If anyone can say this it is a news man - Broadcaster says serious news at risk:

Specific:"'Truth no longer matters in the context of politics and, sadly, in the context of cable news,' said Aaron Brown, whose four-year period as anchor of CNN's NewsNight ended in November, when network executives gave his job to Anderson Cooper in a bid to push the show's ratings closer to front-runner Fox News."

Comment: Where does the "truth" come from these days? Topics can be addressed in a fair and balanced manner, and yet be lacking truth. This can be the case when truth is ommitted. What is truth? this questions should be explored by the body politic yet again. Imagine if the Fox news dedicated the time it spent on Natalee Holloway's disappearance - since May of '05 to current reports - on the many aspects of truth.

It seems that opinion and not truth is what matters to FOX. Opinion is not a subset of truth. Opinion is the expression of a set of ideas and fact that the individual accepts as accurate and therefore deemed to be a truth - but only for one. It is in my humble opinion that a Truth it requires agreement among many.

The existence of many individuals expressing a synchronocity with a set of ideas and facts that make a truth with which society can deal.

I like Aaron Brown.
