What they both have in common:
Today, it's the story of Paula Zahn's wholly unsurprising resignation from CNN amid the hoopla of Campbell Brown's ascendancy — but it might as well be the tale of Aaron Brown being not-so-subtly shoved out in favor of Anderson Cooper just over a year and a half ago. What they both have in common: The utter lack of grace and class on the part of CNN, transparently elbowing yesterday's stars out of the way for the newer, younger model.Rachel Sklar/Huffington/Eat The Press 25.Jul.07

Eleven people are mentioned in the article, the three most important being Klein, Zahn, and Campbell Brown.
Klein and Zahn are Jews, and Brown, being moved into Zahn's position by Klein, while not Jewish, is married to a guy with an incredible resume, Daniel Samuel Senor.
from Wayne Madsen Report via NewsFollowUp (Madsen's site's gone behind some b.s. paywall) on Senor, when he was being considered for White House Press Secretary:
If Senor gets the job, more retired military officers who served in Iraq may go public with their criticisms of the Bush-Rumsfeld war effort. Senor, who served under CPA viceroy L. Paul Bremer III, was seen as carrying the water for extreme right-wing and pro-Israelis inside the Pentagon and the Likud government in Israel. Senor was an intern for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). His sister is the head of the AIPAC office in Jerusalem and his brother-in-law is the editorial page editor for the neocon Jerusalem Post. Senor was also a director of the US-Israel Business Exchange (USIBEX) and was an senior associate of The Carlyle Group. Senor served as McClellan's deputy press secretary at the White House before taking the CPA job in Baghdad.Sklar, who's Jewish, sets it up like it's all about the tits and ass and youth and beauty, which it no doubt is to a certain indefinable degree, and she's right to complain and condemn those aspects, but any enterprise that has someone like Dan Senor connected to it has got the same big godawful stink as the Iraq invasion.

...The Jerusalem Post, whose editorial page editor, Saul Singer, is a neoconservative and is married to Wendy Singer Senor, who runs AIPAC's Jerusalem office. She is the sister of Dan Senor, who was Paul Bremer's chief spokesman at the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq.
Which as we all know, conspiracy addicts aside, is just a big silly mistake, made exclusively and solely and entirely by loony George Bush and nasty Dick Cheney, with the amoeba-like Karl Rove sort of floating around in the background.
Lies and intrigue and groveling deception and look who's right there, smiling.
AIPAC had nothing to do with it, AIPAC's no different than the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors National Association, the fact that Klein runs CNN News has nothing to do with it, the fact that CNN was cheerleading this nightmare from the get, the fact that Israel is much better off now while America is much worse off now has nothing to do with it.
Everything is simple and clear and easily taken in by even the most gullible audience. It's all about cute young faces and nice tits and a firm belly and a quick wit. It's all about consumer seduction. It's all about venality, greed, merchandising anything and everything, and short-sighted greed will never be more than a childish moral flaw that's completely understandable and forgivable in the long run because greed is driving the economy and even though the economy's smacked its whole front end through the guard rail now and the back wheels are spinning free in the gravel at the edge of the cliff all in aching slow-motion but implacably proceeding, greed's still nothing to worry about. And greed's all that's going on.
