I had to turn her off. All she seems to do is make gibberish noises while someone tries to give her an answer. CNN continues to spiral into irrelevance.

They need to take the person who came up with the stupid idea of voting on one out of three news stories for them to air out back and shoot them. If only they would stop plugging the idiotic voting scheme, they would have enough time to air all three "news" segments enough times to make even the most resistant Faux News trained viewer "informed".

If Gawd was paying attention, Comcast would already be pushing Aljazeera.

Apparently she's hip with social media. That's all that matters at CNN anymore, isn't it?

She had me nearly pulling my hair out the other day and, yes, changing to Fox News for a tsunami report.

Face it. The 24-hour TV news channel is a myth. Certainly here, it is. Haven't seen much of Al-Jazeera, and BBC News Channel is only available in the UK. What we can get here would be better called 'current events tv.' They chatter on about current things, including rumors, gossip, trends, and occasionally news, but there is very little actual reporting of the news. If someone took a stopwatch and counted exactly how much time on any of these channels is spent reporting the news on-air, not including speculation, celebrity interviews or idle opinioneering, it would be a very small percentage of the broadcast day. It would be even less, if any actual reporting is only counted the first time it airs, e.g., not including repeated reports without new or updated information. My bet is that that number wouldn't get higher than, say, 10% of the time on any given day.

If you need the news explained to you, Fox News may be more your speed.

By careful, Fox also have women in short skirts and makeup; which seems to confuse you.

Or maybe Headline News, they will repeat the news stories multiple times an hour so that you can understand it. You know what they say, third (fourth, fifth, ...) times a charm.

But seriously, half of the things you claim as being problems are outside the control of any news anchor.

The producer controls the cutting to Dana Bash for clarification, from an unnamed (uninformed) white house official, that OBL had no weapons but resisted.

Also, the network and the producer control the commercial breaks; which means interviews are cut short when people get long winded or there wasn't enough time alloted.

All news shows have writers, and I would guess she is handed a piece of paper with the interviewee's name, and synopsis, and a list of questions to ask. Larry King was the last of a dying breed of news show hosts that were capable of interviewing guests without writers.

I realize TV is supposed to be a passive medium, but you do occasionally have to use your brain. Brooke is there to entertain and deliver the news, it's up to you to figure it out.

She is not only annoying, she is a closet republican!
Just saw her interview with a gun rights idiot, talking about the new recommendations the president has presented to congress, she has no interest in the issue as she just let him speak without interruption ( he was saying what she want's to hear)and when he avoided her questions she accepted his talking point as if that is what she asked! Hey Brooke, Fox News wants you back, the "infiltrate CNN with an idiot" mission is over!

I couldn't have agreed more. have you noticed they are now putting her to low quality subjects? like, for new years 2013, they showed her dancing with a bunch of fat, shirtless guys, singing. (and i swear i saw anderson cooper and kathy griffin rolling their eyes) and stuff like emos commiting suicide, losing weight, and hair loss. (heh) so, yeah, im pretty sure CNN has noticed this Nonsense. My future dream words:

BUH-BYE BALD WOMAN!!!

Eow, you all are a bunch of cynical dicks. I'm sure any of you could do a better job. She's only human. If she is so terrible, how has she been this successful? It’s not about technical talent, it’s about the whole package and what one can bring to the table.

Erin Burnett's worse.

Soledad O'Brien was the only thing worth watching on CNN.

A spokes model is generous. This lady is as dumb as a bag of hammers.

In an effort to come off more intelligent....or more able to get to the point that the guests (in almost all cases) are not getting to quick enough for her. Her mannerisms exude superiority and other worldliness.

Almost everytime she says...'Getting back to the question'.....the guest or expert was clearly answering the question at hand.

Brooke Baldwin is an example of Tabloid Journalism at its worst.

What a phony!!

She really is a terrible "journalist." She comes off as so disingenuous and fake and can never let her panel speak on their own without injecting herself into everything. Even her irritating, "mmm's" during interviews make me believe that she just googled "how to be a broadcaster". I thought it couldn't get worse than Rick Sanchez, but I guess I expected too much of someone who was his co-host.

CNN can't possible be taken seriously with these tabloid talking heads who insist on making the interviews, news and shows about themselves.

She is un-watchable.

Also her new thing: "now this" makes me wish John Oliver would sue her dumb-ass for trying to sound smart like him. She tries so hard. To her, being a credible journalist is having a signature catchphrase. oy.
