I've Had enough of Anderson Cooper..

and his stoic , I'm confused explain it to me facial expressions... He clearly gives both sides equal time and never clearly defines what he thinks...Most of the time he takes a centrist position until it is clear what position is correct..
He's so spineless.

gish gallup. He's a good egg. News can't be 100% partisan. That is what politicians are for.

That has long been described as fair and balanced journalism. The editorializing should not be left to the newscaster/interviewer.

Cooper is under no obligation to be the left's Sean Hannity. Heaven forbid!

last night, there was a man on AC 360 who had worked on the Trump campaign. He spewed hateful rhetoric toward Congresswoman Jackie Spier that went unchecked. He was utterly disgusting.

We don't currently have access to MSNBC, so have been watching more CNN than we used to. Last night, my opinion of AC suffered after he allowed that cretin to go on without challenging him.
