Anderson Cooper takes a swipe at John King?

From his Twitter.

Anderson Cooper ?@andersoncooper 2h
We are efforting more information on blast near Waco. Trying to confirm details. I'd rather be right with the info than first.

1. Maybe, but I don't blame CNN

I think they repeated what their sources told them. If they consider the sources credible, then they have to go with the information. Maybe they didn't ask the right questions? But they did report what the sources told them.

3. i do blame them because we know how bad the media has been for years

you know it was more about the need to be first than confirming.

4. If you mean confirming with the FBI, then I see your point.

They trusted their sources and got burned.

Someone told me that they think the reporting is trial balloons to see what happens. Maybe that's possible, but it's unusual.

2. Anderson's a good egg.

Plus, I'd like to feed him.

5. It's late... I read that SO WRONG. Oh good god, it's bedtime. n/t

7. Haha. I will NOT ask.

Still giggling though.

6. I Like Anderson He's Pretty Fair In His Reporting - I Wonder How Long He'll Tolerate CNN?....

I see him getting upset with them - enough to leave and go to some other network. I don't think he is Fox material. I wouldn't mind him showing up at MSNBC or even one of the traditional TV stations CBS, NBC or ABC.

10. I've wondered that

for a long time. They need him more than he needs them. Especially now. I'd love it if he moved since I can't stand CNN. People trust him for good reason, and that's why CNN needs him. I'm sure they pay him dearly to give their network some legitimacy. And that's why he stays. Can't blame him if it comes with some journalistic integrity for himself - not having to give in to their demands.

8. Mr Cooper: If you guys can't do news, can you at least to grammar?

"Efforting" is not a word.

I'll grant you that making up words out of thin air is better than making up "news" out of thin air. But really, you should do neither if you want to be taken seriously.

Never mind. Just go with the hologram thing. It's cool.
