Really miss both Brianna Kiellar and John Berman! I love their humor and interaction with each other…both are great anchors. Please get them back soon, you need the spark they bring to CNN.
Ms. Keilar is as competent a broadcaster as I’ve ever seen and I trust that CNN will use her skills appropriately with its realignment. The comment above about her beautifully modulated voice and facial expressions is spot on and one of the reasons I find this woman so attractive. She does come across as a bit intensive when interviewing knee-jerk conservatives, but, in reality, she’s doing nothing more than saying the obvious out loud. Heaven help me but I think I’m in love.
My husband woke me at 6 am to tell me about Brianna’s new haircut in Ukraine. He loves it! So is it a haircut or a different hairdo? He is 83 years old so you have still got it! And, he wants me to get a haircut like it. I am only 80 but you do look terrific so I’ll give it a go…we really tune in daily. So thanks!
I was sad when they moved you to the mornings with John Berman but now you give me a reason to wake up in the mornings.
Brianna,
Keep doing what you do…you are so good!
Keep on going…you make John Berman look great. A great news duet. Add John Avalon and we have the best news TRIO around! John Berman’s great and you are a great partner
Thanks a lot! Your advisory on boycotting Florida over Covid will have just the opposite effect you intended. There will be a rush for tourists to visit Florida, with an overwhelming demand for airline tickets, hotel rooms, rental cars, and restaurant reservations. Thanks a lot (again). You liberals manage to crew up everything you touch (or comment on).
She is also my forever crush
I think Brianna is a very good anchor. She is very articulate, sticks to the subject and fact checks information. I hope her move to mornings is not a move she is not happy about. I will watch her there as well as I did in the afternoon slot. Keep up the good work.
I am really pleased to see Brianna Keilar on CNN who is a very composed and good news anchor. She has extremely good command and control over sript of news with beautiful voice and face expressions. Keep it up brianna.
I’m sorry to say this, but I think I’m in love with her. Please don’t tell her cos its a bit embarrassing.Brianna, you are my crush for life!
I have taken Hydroxychloroquine and it is safe. It has been around for years and is a cheaper drug than anything newer!
I have enjoyed watching you over the past few years interviewing politicians who apparently need to learn how to tie their shoelaces. Keep up your great work
Enjoy a no-nonsense anchor who gets the most of her guests.
I love that you fact-check Trump. I thought I remembered seeing video of him calling military “losers” a few years ago on one of the YouTube CNN reports. I thought you might be interested since he keeps saying he never said that and loves the military. It was dated 11/7/16, Labeled “Trump calls military losers” (his favorite word).
Thanks, and please keep up the great reporting!!!
Anita
Very good journalist – Keeps the focus on the subject matter not allowing the interviewee to sidetrack the issue. Integrity and credibility is everything in journalism.
