Campbell Brown to Debut on CNN in Series of Political Specials
Former NBC News Anchor’s Primetime Show Aiming for February
By Marisa Guthrie -- Broadcasting & Cable, 9/21/2007 1:53:00 PM
Campbell Brown will make her debut on CNN not on her own primetime show, which is set to bow in February, but in a series of political specials to air in November.
When Brown left NBC News in July after 11 years with the network, one of the conditions of her exit was that she would not appear on CNN until November. But with Brown due to give birth to her first child in late December, the timing was less than convenient.
(Brown’s husband, Dan Senor, is a political strategist and Fox News Channel contributor.)
A self-described political junkie, Brown hopes to be back on the air by Super Tuesday, Feb. 5. Her show will likely launch some weeks later. Until then, Out in the Open with host Rick Sanchez will continue to fill the 8 p.m. hour vacated this summer by Paula Zahn Now.
Brown officially started work at CNN Sept. 1. She has been meeting with prospective executive producers for her new program, according to sources.
She inherits a highly competitive time slot sandwiched between MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann and ratings leader The O’Reilly Factor on Fox News.
Brown’s show will attempt to offer a counterprogramming alternative to the opinionated, outspoken hosts.

IF ANY ONE SHOULD BE "VETED" it should Be Campbell Brown.
Unfortunately This Female Person (It is difficult to refer to HER as "A LADY"),Has a FAMILY HISTORY of BASIC DISHONESTY !! FACT:: HER DEAR OLD "DAD" GOT 3 to 5 for RIPPING OFF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA.
And NOW "SHE" Violates her "TERMS and CONDITIONS" of HER AGREEMENT (HA ! HA !)with HER Previous Network.
I suppose it is in the "GENES" ! !
And NOW SHE wants to "CRITICIZE" Sarah Palin ? ? ?
What A JOKE ! ! --Can Anyone BELIEVE SUCH A PERSON with such a Questionable Background ??

I've been watching Campbell Brown the last two days on CNN and I think she is too bias for the show. She needs to get off Palin's back. She is too democratic!

As a veteran, I was appalled that Sen. Obama didn''t care to take the time to visit the wounded American soldiers at Landsthul hospital in Germany while on his recent Middle East and European tour. As a member of Congress and one who wants to be Commander-in-Chief one might think he would have really wanted to do so. It is because of these brave souls America is free.  However, as Senator Obama opposed the troop surge and voted against funds for the warriors in Iraq it is not surprising. Also, he cannot admit troop surge in Iraq is a success. On the other hand, visiting wounded warriors one-on-one without your entourage and the news media fawning over you just didn''t measure up to making a speech in Berlin or standing on stage with the president of France. He was offered to land his plane at Ramstein AFB and the use of military photographers. However, he declined. One might believe he hadn''t the courage to face the wounded warriors whom he seems to have so little faith in and doesn''t think the soldiers are worth the sweat he expended at the Ritz Carlton gym.Harry MurrayLas Cruces, NMDescendant of American Revolutionary War Veterans

Watching Campbell Brown on todays special concerning "Broken Government"... I want her to know this factual input about the Swiftboat ad targeting Senator Kerry...
Here in Oregon, Clackamus County''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s Republican Assistant District Attorney Al French swore a false affidavit that he was on Senator John Kerry’s Swift Boat and later admitted to the Oregonian, a Republican newspaper, that he lied. The truth was that Al French was never on John Kerry’s Swift-boat. What is clear about the fact that he was able to swear a phony affidavit to the nation and still keep his critical law enforcement job in Oregon is because of the corruption in both American Politics and a Republican dominated media.
The Clackamas County District Attorney''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s Office is required by Oregon state law to represent the state in felony and misdemeanor prosecutions, grand jury proceedings, mental commitment hearings, child support actions, family abuse prevention hearings, and juvenile delinquency and dependency hearings. Republican District Attorney John Foote swore an oath to uphold the integrity of his vital office. Yet Al French, his Assistant D.A., still holds his job after swearing a dishonest affidavit in a national Swift-boat ad. The Oregonian never even bothered to pursue his continued working issue after his admission. And so our government crumbles.
I believe the present administration stole both national elections through the rigged computer voter boxes in Florida and Ohio and that the watchdog media that once existed in our nation to expose such issues is busy playing a shell game with facts as a cover-up. This conspiracy between the media and the Republican Party involves the rollback of the Anti Trust Laws by Republicans so that as co-conspirators they can profiteer off war material manufacturing investments as well as the lucrative Oil and Pharmaceutical Industry investments and media ads.
The ownership of the Republican Party and the Media is a subject that may even involve future war crimes prosecution should we ever succeed in electing an honest government.

Having watched Campbell Brown during her tenure with NBC it will be interesting to see her on CNN doing what she is very good at - reporting the political scene and doing it in a manner that is intelligent and interesting.
