Miles was at his best when he was fodder for Soledad O'Brien's (and sometimes Carol Costello's) jabs when they hosted CNN's "American Morning".

Miles O'Brien was extremely well-informed; during his years anchoring on CNN he demonstrated solid breadth and depth of understanding of issues of political and scientific importance. He is, or was, without any doubt, one of the very best TV newscasters of my 48-year lifetime. I suspect he "knew too much" and was forced off-air by wealthy special interest entities.

I have no idea why he's even on the show! There is no chemistry between him and Soledad and he doesn't offer anything on his own. In all fairness I have to add that the new set they isit at makes me feel uncomfortable just looking at them all squashed together.

Miles O'Brien seems terribly self-involved, ill-prepared and generally more interested to get himself some face time rather than actually getting the news across competently. I have no idea why CNN replaced Bill Hemmer with this guy, who IMHO is second-rate at best. I miss Bill and have actually quit watching CNN in the mornings because I cannot stand O'Brien's babble.

I used to look forward to watching Bill & Soledad every morning. Miles O'Brien is a sick joke. He has no chemistry with Soledad and seems basically, just stupid. It's like he's doing a bad impersonation of Phil Hartman (old SNL). John Roberts does an ok job when Miles is "on assignment", but I sure do miss Bill.

Second only to Scotty as a chief engneer

I have to admit, his jokes are bad. But, he's real and the chemistry on the program is fabulous. I start my day with CNN.

I have recently turned off FOX because of him. Don't understand why people have to say he's hot or not. Just like his work. Hope someone from CNN reads this, personally I think Soledad is a little to touchy feely with him.
hatemiles 01/30/2006
worst anchor i have ever seen i do not watch CNN in the morning anymore just because of him. Horrible jokes, sounds like an idiot. Doestn seem to understand the news and adds his opinion too much
sdst 01/04/2006
I started watching CNN in the morning because of him. Soledad is over the top sometimes. Miles adds life to the show. Great chemistry!
AJRisser 12/26/2005
Miles O'Brien is the only reporter in my 60+ years that I've actually seen openly attempt to distort the news by trying to make the news himself. In his Katrina interview with the Governor of Mississippi, he tried over and over again to put words into the mouth of the Governor. O'Brien is not an honorable person. I am unable to understand just how CNN justifies keeping him on camera.
suncatchers_me 12/07/2005
Miles,Keep up the good work..We look forward to seeing you and Soledad each morning....!!!!!!! you 2 make our day ! Great personalities and you seem to really enjoy your job...!!!!!

I gave this guy ONE star because MINUS ONE was not available. I stopped watching CNN in the morning and switched back to the painfully sweet and lolly-poped Today Show shortly after O'Brien replaced Bill What's-His-Name. Someone PLEASE stop this guy from making "jokes" that only crack himself up!! I desperately want to watch some hard core news (translation: NO Martha Stewart unless she's making financial or legal headlines, no cup-cake recipes, no "why men over 50 only date women in their 20s" crap) but, so long as Miles O'Brien is attempting to provide that type of news, I'd rather submit to oral surgery on a daily basis. HELP!!

Miles O'Brien is one of the most annoying personalities on TV. He can be quite belligerent towards guests that he disagrees with and he is self-consumed that it's hard to watch him for very long without my stomach turning. Also, except for having the same last names, there is absolutely NO chemistry between Miles and Soledad. CNN must not have realized how much they were losing when they let Bill Hemmer walk out the door. He fit the bill much better and worked very well with Soledad. My suggestion is to get rid of Miles and try to find an adequate replacement for Mr. Hemmer. CNN -- what are you doing over there?
Janeska 10/10/2005
Miles is so out of his league. I can't stand to watch CNN when he is on. He seems to exude a love of self and can't ask an intelligent question. I think he reflects a political bias. How unfortunate to pair him with Soledad. She offends no one!
eliana 09/30/2005
Miles Rocks!!! If he is serving up the news, well then I am licking the plate clean...Mmmmm
erindrury 09/23/2005
I love CNN and cannot watch the morning show any more because of him!
MarkBroccardo 09/13/2005
He's okay. I'd like to see them ditch Soledad and put Miles with Rudi Bakhtiar - man is she ever hot! What happened to her? Anyway, Miles is okay. I'm not sure what the women see in him.
FlowerInAHails torm 08/12/2005
Smart, Funny, YUMMY!
Vietmom 07/30/2005
I'm with Leander. He's handsome, sexy, funny and seems like a good guy. What's NOT to like/lust?
Thelma 07/27/2005
Mr. O'Brien is out of his league here (hosting CNN morning show). He seems to think that he is whitty and quick, but he has chaised me away from CNN with this behavior. I really can't stand the guy!
Leander 07/09/2005
Intelligent, handsome, classy, sexy (I'd do him in a minute), now a great pair with Soledad.
yman1234 06/20/2005
On CNN in morning now. Should be better than Bill H
sol 03/21/2005
This poor sad sack has the horrendous job of reporting on air disasters. But he reports on crashes with such zeal that they don't dare give it to anyone else.
sagerooster 03/14/2005
Id give him a zero if it was allowed...Jeeez He aint hot people
singsplatsing 02/23/2005
From what I've seen, he seems pretty witty and smart, I don't really watch CNN though...and jaguarnut1, are you dense?
jaguarnut1 02/11/2005
He's a dude!! What is he doing up here with all of the hot newsbabes??? Maybe he should be classed with male TV personalities, but not here.
proofer 01/06/2005
my favorite newsperson. if you don't like him, you're not catching his hilarious jokes. i love the way he sighs when he has to say something like, is your computer killing your baby? find out, when cnn returns. he's soooo funny. and sweet.
fourdashsix 12/27/2004
annoying. stupid. boner for NASA.
LTinTennessee 11/27/2004
What horrible interviewer. Doesn't have his facts straight before he proceeds with the interview. Bleah!!!
Netinfiniti 10/21/2004
One of the more refreshing TV personalities out there. Kyra dn Miles complement each other and when he is on - which is not a lot - things are interesting
ranoffroad 09/24/2004
Miles is good on CNN. Probably the only one on TV that doesn't wear a suit. Maybe he doesn't like wearing suits on TV. I don't know of anyone named Miles. Looks like an everyday person instead of the typical anchorman, just got out of bed and came onto the set. I like the realness and rawness of some anchormen on TV.
taternuts 09/23/2004
CNN IS GARBAGE
fluffytuffy 09/13/2004
I enjoy him, I especially like his space reports, they are always informative and he can talk in a language that most can understand rather than in technical terms.
queen_angie 09/08/2004
Needs to be shipped off into space and off my TV screen.
cwillut 08/11/2004
He's smart, He's HOT, He's funny ... what more could you ask for?!
newshack 07/14/2004
biased hack. period.
marcm9999 06/21/2004
Don't you mean Miles O'Communist?
CRose36772 05/21/2004
He is very anti Bush and it shows in his reporting. He should be off the air.
dabears1967 04/23/2004
jury is out, the positive I like his interviews. Negative- leave those puns alone buddy. Busy chasing a joke that is not always there(I can relate). How come he does not have to wear a jacket? lol
Rightguy 03/10/2004
Rightwing partisan hack. I like him for science, can't stand him on politics. Certainly NO Walter Cronkhite. Obrien lacks impartiality.
Laura81 01/23/2004
He's a good anchor, he's smart, seems like a nice person and has a good sense of humor
tdubya71 01/14/2004
Like Walter Cronkite in the 60s, he is the man to go to for space coverage.
musicman539 12/10/2003
He and Kyra do a great job together and the laughter in their program is something that others could sure learn from.
1234abc 08/16/2003
Very smart, loves planes, does he really need anything else??
sunglazd 07/17/2003
He is good, believable, seems trustworthy, did a long stretch with no sleep during the last shuttle disaster. Good, pleasant delivery.
