Super Tuesday: No Campbell Brown?
The Baltimore Sun’s David Zurawik has a blog entry saying that Campbell Brown’s appearance on CNN’s Super Tuesday coverage was not needed…
Of all the extra star power added to the political coverage on all the networks and cable channels Tuesday night, none seemed as big mistake as CNN’s Campbell Brown (left).
First, CNN had no need for another featured anchor. Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper have been doing an outstanding job of keeping the political telecasts moving swiftly from one location and field reporter to another, one expert to the next. And who has more experts and field reporters than CNN?
So why add Brown to the mix in such an expanded role — one that was clearly beyond her talents? And why was she so heavily made up and dressed to look like someone headed for a cocktail party instead of an anchor chair on one of the most important nights in the history of American politics?
Ouch.
Cnn needs the like of Jeff Greenfield, who left and went to CBS, and Aaron Brown who just got bounced, for ‘hard hitters

Ouch is right. Poor gal! She didn’t do that bad I guess, especially for her first big outing on CNN.
