There goes any respect I had left for Anderson Cooper

[Marius25]

He's defending the CNN town hall. Sounds like Licht demanded he go out and cover for CNN.

1. Damn

I was hoping he would resign. He can eff off too.

[Skittles]

2. JFC, ANDERSON

WE'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THAT BLUBBERING ORANGE FASCIST FUCKWAD FOR, LIKE, A FUCKING DECADE NOW.....GIVE IT A FUCKING BREAK

[Bev54]

3. Well I made Cooper go away when I stopped watching CNN a year ago.

[edhopper]

4. No

But do you think giving him a Forum in front of an audience he picked is journalism?

[Johonny]

18. His comments suggest somehow if your interested

In American politics you could have missed Trump (the former president) message these last 7 years! I mean, is there any one man in politics who just about every American knows their opinion on any insane topic it's Donald Trump. He makes Trump sound like a black lives matter or Trans rights activist, instead of the single most covered politician of our life time. A privilege CNN once again proved he doesn't deserve because all he does is lie, self promote, and threaten to do deeply unconstitutional things. Anderson can go fuck himself and his BS soapbox he's pretending to preach from. Nothing, nothing Trump said last night was new or have we been sheltered away from. Nothing. We've seen this movie before. It's been jammed down our throats.

[Tetrachloride]

5. Cooped up too long. Copped out. Co-opted.

Dranks Coors. Got his cuckoo clock cleaned by Licht.

Wanted to keep his chair.

Spine took a walk.

[NoMoreRepugs]

6. Anderson - how is not listening to a serial liar who wants to destroy

my Democracy a bad thing?

[FalloutShelter]

7. Says the elitist in the gold plated silo.

No matter what happens to Americans… Anderson will be okay.
They can feel a-okay with platforming that monster and lecture us on being in our silo.
Fucking condescending and soul dead.

[LakeArenal]

8. RightAndersen, Trump and I "disagree".

That is all there is.

[IcyPeas]

9. Look at this comment under the clip......

[Abolishinist]

33. Agreed, my thoughts exactly.

"It’s not an issue of agreeing or disagreeing. We aren’t talking about different approaches to policy or platform. It’s not about ‘staying in a silo’… this is about giving a platform to someone who used his reach to incite a violent attack on our Capitol in an effort to subvert the will of the people & install himself as a dictator".

Cooper should cut back his schedule to his once-a-year, giggly drunken New Year's Eve celebration.

[Scrivener7]

43. This is well said, but I can't help but wonder: how do they STILL not see this??

Why do we STILL need to be telling them this??

[Takket]

10. living in my silo won't make him go away, but neither will giving him a free hour of national

coverage.

[Silent Type]

11. In the minority again, but I agree with Cooper.

[betsuni]

41. +1

[unblock]

12. Yeah that's why the media always extensively covers third party candidates

The media has long been quite selective in which candidates it covers and which viewpoints it promotes and so on.

A democrat with a fraction of Donnie's scandals would never get this kind of attention. They'd be declared politically DOA and ignored.

[whathehell]

20. +1

[Ms. Toad]

13. Disappointing.

There is a significant difference between listening only to those we agree with and giving a free recruiting platform to a dangerous lying narcisissitic abusive bully.

You'd pretty much have to be dead not to know what he's saying. The media can't seem to ignore him. They don't need to go beyond that to promoting him.

[RockRaven]

14. Unspoken part: "You should try this here different silo we've built instead."

Hard pass for me. Cable news is trash, full stop.

[debm55]

15. There were on two anchors on CNN that I liked--Anderson and Jim Acosta. Bye Anderson., you lost me.

I hope Jim continues to tell it like it is. The rest of CNN is gone for me.

[Johonny]

16. Because we haven't had an entire presidency and two

Elections to listen to Trump rant. LOL. Trump the American in least need of a free soap box is the man Anderson thinks we've been too sheltered from hearing his message. CNN is a joke.

[BigmanPigman]

17. I wrote to him last night....

Apparently, he did not take my advice or input. Same goes for Licht. Writing letters and boycotting are not doing the trick (yet). We need big names and advertisers to boycott. $$$$$ talks, not opinions of viewers.

[debm55]

19. I emailed too. I will only watch Acosta on Saturdays. Bye CNN used to love you back in the day.

[BigmanPigman]

24. I've only watched when there are natural disasters or emergencies.

They can't twist that into their agenda, at least not yet. I've boycotted them for many months and informed my Dem family and friends about the change in their "news" program. They are becoming an "entertainment/news network" like Fux.

[debm55]

27. You are right--they are very good at natural disasters and emergencies.

[Cha]

21. OMg.. That is FULL of So Much

Gaslit Shit!

Fucking ".. listening to people(?) you don't agree with?!!

How Stupid does he think his audience is? No fucking cigar, Coop.. not even a a 1/2 way decent try.

[Skittles]

23. I'm sure there was an emergency meeting regarding people ditching CNN

apparently Anderson received the main assignment; I am very disappointed he agreed.

[debm55]

31. I have watched a couple of tRumps rallies on the Newsmax channel. He says the same shit every rally.

And it was the same shit on CNN, Wednesday night. Almost word for word.

[Cha]

34. Shame on Cooper Patronizing

his audience.

Wonder how many viewers he saved with that condescending crap?

I've read about his rallies here and, of course, they were Nazi Hate Fests meant to pump up Putin's Puppet.

[debm55]

36. I was a self appointed Rally watcher, same shit over and over and over., Husband had TV on so loud

I heard him--it was all the again. There were no actual plans. Always talked about what he did good for the country--which was nothing.

[Scrivener7]

44. Exactly. They did something disgraceful, and now they keep doubling down on it.

I'm really done with CNN.

There is no virtue to giving that man a platform. Not for the network and not for the watcher. And the sad thing is that they know it.

And Anderson Cooper shaking his finger at us for objecting doesn't change that fact.

[Phoenix61]

22. He gets they're coming for him, right?

All his money and privilege won’t save him if Trump gets in the WH.

[BigmanPigman]

26. I wanted to be a fly on the wall in Chris Cuomo's and Don Lemon's homes last night.

Are they buddies still or did Chris and Don have a falling out over CNN?

[debm55]

29. I don't think they are Best Buds anymore. Read where Chris was going to sue Don. Watching them

during the Covid helped me.

[BigmanPigman]

35. Me too.

[MerryBlooms]

25. Where is the full commentary?

His comments are obviously cut short.

[NowISeetheLight]

30. Right and Wrong

Yes people won’t just go away. But you don’t need to cater to them, pack an audience with cult followers, and give them a platform.

[GoodRaisin]

32. Skipping what I already know is going to be a shitshow isn't "staying in a silo" Anderson.

It’s having better ways to spend my time. We know who he and his followers are. They’ve told us before. It’s not like he’s new or anything.

Go ahead, show all the shit you want to show. Help put the pig back in office, just don’t complain about him anymore when your country falls apart. Fuck you and fuck your network.

[eShirl]

38. It's not like we HAVEN'T heard Trump's lies, over and over and over and over

How many times is enough for him?

[betsuni]

39. "If you're angry and upset, I understand, but you have the power to do something about it.

You can actually get involved."

I agree with Anderson.

[tavernier]

40. He's right, we do have power.

And part of my power is to deny the republican billionaires the right to spread their horse shit propaganda into my home. I hope my silo is tall enough to break through the stench.

Oh, and Cooper? Buh bye.

[betsuni]

42. Exactly. Boycott, vote, get involved, listen, think.
