Although I disagree with some of your adjectives that describe AC's personable attributes, I understand perfectly how the powers that be may see him thorough their perceived public eyes. An excellent detailed, explanation that is comprehensive, coherent, reasonable, creditable and believable.

His particular weird mix of qualities is everything they want the network to be associated with. He's carefully neutral. He's an elegant blue blood but also a likeable everyman figure. He's dignified but also culturally hip with a good sense of humour. He's both glamourous and classy. He's endearingly nerdy but adventurous, globe trotting and experiences danger. He has a handsome young-old appearance that makes him look energetic but wise and stable. He's one of the few people on cable news who insists on polite discourse instead of going for the ratings grabbing theatre of yelling and fighting. He also became famous on CNN, so the public totally thinks of him as one with the network.<BR/><BR/>Ugly ancients Lou "I hate Mexicans" Dobbs and Larry "I will have any famewhore on my show to bring in viewers" King bring in plenty of ratings, but CNN doesn't want those guys to be the image of their network.<BR/><BR/>60 Minutes brought in Katie Couric and Anderson Cooper to add some relative youth to their program.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
