trying to blame the President for Petreaus and bengazi says the President was trying to hide it until after the election. No matter the subject Cooper has to find a way to blame the President.

(17,609 posts)I don't know why they gave him a talk show. He has nothing new to say and from what I have seen of him on some of the shows,as much as I could take ,he can't relate to the average person. He is always so amazed about the simplest things.

(17,609 posts)I would turn on his show for a minute or two during the campaign to see what he thought the President did wrong that night.
Of course, lying ass Romney did nothing wrong but lie day in and day out during the whole campaign and then accused the President of dirty campaigning along with Cooper and the rest of the gang, Blitzer is a POS too..

(17,609 posts)I watched him and the CONS attack the President from day one as it got to be a one on one between him and the Pres I began to really get angry as I watched romney stand there day after day,with lie after lie and the media joined in.
If the Obama campaign defended their stance on any issue they were accused of running a dirty campaign.
No matter the issue if Fox brought it up CNN joined in especially Anderson,Blitzer,Crowley and the rest of the gang Don Lemon tries to pretend he is fair and balanced when they really are another branch of Foxnews,
Relating to the both sides do it nonsense, I think that is why so many were so angry about the first debate we were waiting for the President to kick romneys' ass!

(89,150 posts)and just because republicans are so fucked up and there is a lot to report in that way without "balancing" it out with enough Dems being the same he has to make up stupid shit like this.
"see i'm not biased".
it's like for every romney lie they could only report it if they could show Obama doing something also .
butterfly77
(17,609 posts)when there are other things to report on Cooper makes it his business to find something that the Obama admins is doing wrong. He has the nerve to call the segment"Keeping them honest" with his lying ass!

(1,435 posts)Why would hiding Petreaus's indiscreation, help him, he didn't make do it. Bengazi is a right wing faux outrage, that went nowhere.

(53,061 posts)Anderson has done the minimal amount of public service work and still maintain membership as an educated human being.
Coming from one of America's richest families he has made a very modest contribution to raising public awareness on any issue. When many brave people were suffering from the bigotry of homophobia he stayed on the sidelines until it was clear that public sentiment had changed.
Given that his only sibling committed suicide and that many many many young gay men committ suicide and given the tremendous resources at his fingertips I would classify his contribution on the subject as rather modest at best.

(29,503 posts)He's not perfect, nobody is. Even Obama gave a homophobic Christian leader a voice at his initial inauguration, but somehow, that didn't matter, particularly to a few posting in this very thread. Hmmmm...

(601 posts)To criticize the potus ,so as to see m partial or objective, and the cheerleader of the both sides do it meme.
Thats why he will never score and interview with potus or flotus, always seems like he is on a job interview for faux news

(17,609 posts)maybe he should go back over to Egypt and keep them honest...is Anderson afraid of something????

(333 posts)I guess "keeping them honest" means falsely equating both sides and bending over backwards to satisfy the nuts and not appear biased.

(13,776 posts)I'm not disputing the right of anybody to dislike him, obviously, and I respect your opinion although I don't share it.
I like him because he didn't have to ever lift a finger in his entire life, yet he has become a high achiever in his own right. He puts himself in life-threatening situations when he could perfectly easily ask CNN that he cover hurricanes or wars from the safety of an anchor desk. He played a huge part in drawing attention to the overwhelming atrociousness of the government's response to Katrina.
And he's friends with Kathy Griffin.
I haven't really watched CNN's coverage of the election itself, so I admit that I cannot speak at all as to how he covered it. But I like him as a person, for sure.

(190 posts)but stopped watching entirely in August or September. I even had to let go of my favorite, Brooke Baldwin just because I can no longer support their network. It's hard to believe how low they have sunk as a news organization.

(8,646 posts)the last few months they have been every bit as biased as Fox. Anderson Cooper has definitely not done any good reporting for a long time. I think he's just too invested in his new show to do any hard hitting journalism. JMHO.
