All of them, right? No. You have to pick one.
Mine is Monita Rajpal. What a horrible anchor! I have never seen anyone make so many mistakes or be so clueless about what she is reporting.
My favorite is Richard Quest. Some people hate him, but I find his demeanor quite entertaining.
Any opinions? |

| It's been awhile since I had regular access to CNN or enough interest in HLN to tune in on the AFN, but my choice for the all-time worst CNN anchor, though I don't think he works for them anymore, is Aaron Brown. Total moron, so I can only imagine he appealed to the station for his ability to make the TV audience feel smart. |

| The worst ever anchor anywhere is Peter Manbridge. |

Yeah, she must be new huh? She gets on my nerves too.

He was obnoxious at first, but he's grown on me now. I like him because he doesn't take himself too seriously.
I think my favorite was that Australian guy that's now out doing field reporting. I can't think of his name right now though. |

| Is Rick Sanchez an anchor? I hate him. I think he is just a reporter. Can't remember. |

Can't stand Kristie Lou, Richard Quest or the other Richard (used to do the UN thing). Colleen McEdwards is positively gleeful when announcing tragedy and whatshername Hahn is annoying as heck.
I'm sure they're all deeply concerned about what I think  |

| I don't like the British female anchor with the short brown hair. She's way too animated for me (lots of jerky movements), and her personality is too strong and mannish, IMO. |

| This question has no merit. CNN is crap and you shouldn't be watching it anyway. |

Who's that young(ish) guy with the gray hair? Not a big fan.

| Richard Quest makes me cringe. He says "China" like my grandmother trying to say "china man". "Chi-ner". |

I used to work with Collen, back in the day. at a little station in central Ontario. I didn't know her well, and I'm sure she wouldn't remember me. That was a long time ago. In one of my previous `lives', I was a lighting cameraman. She was nice, but very serious about her work.
My most loathed CNN anchor is Paula Zahn. I find her rude, obnoxious, and totally committed to the myth of her own journalistic objectivity, which in her case I find to be a total farse.
