Well, yes, he was canned, but Jonathan Klein isn't exactly saying it's because Brown was a pompous ass.

I liked AB, but he was rather "vocal" about his position on the war.
But so is Dobbs, and they're keeping him.
What made Anderson Cooper was his Katrina coverage. I guess crying and casting aspersions on air gets you far up the food chain in the TV news business.
Meanwhile, people seem to forget the near 24hrs. straight coverage Aaron Brown carried for CNN during 9/11.
