I'll side with John on this one. Isn't 'Sharpen the Knife' the seventh tenet of The Seven Habits of Successful People? There was nothing that he could do that would enhance the story. In fact I heard that Dan Rather made a very poor image for the first hour he was on camera before he was cleaned up. I can't think of any story that is important enough to get on a plane and fly to a TV station, at least five hours before he would be on TV. Now if he was in his house 45 minutes away, then I can see the point of rushing in.--- "John D.

When my boss called me at 1:00 pm on Sunday afternoon I was in the office by 2:00pm - with no advance warning. I sure don't get paid as much as Aaron Brown does, but that's part of the deal. If what they're saying is true, he should be fired by CNN. Gautam
Not that we need to know why you were called in on a Sunday Gautam, but can you see no situation where you'd have to say no to your boss? I'm thinking more if the boss was unreasonable FEX if you were at the apex of a day long sailing trip and he expected you to wave down a speedboat to get you in quickly, or on a ski lift and expected you to rush to your car without changing, leaving clothes and companions behind. Some people do have jobs that require that level of commitment. A journalist, or worse a bobblehead, is never that important.
