Anderson Cooper on CNN is an repug stooge

[samsingh]

I'm not condoning anything about what Edwards has done, but i was very angry with Cooper's repeated statement that Edwards LIED. I don't remember Cooper going after any repug with that level of terminology and calling repugs 'LIARS' (which they usually are).

[Ron Green]

1. Above all, he's an entertainer. Lest we forget.

[samsingh]

2. more a clown

[samsingh]

on election night cooper turned to blitzer and asked

'what do we do we Obama wins the election?'

that is a strange question that must have alot of subtext. It's just a plain thing to say.

Even an incredulous Blitzer, who i am no fan of at all, rightly responded: "We'll report it."

DA.

[WCGreen]

9. He was probably worried about his taxes, buying into the RW Bullshit...

[Kalyke]

23. What do we do when Obama wins???

What was the background behind that question? Any insight?

[Cha]

35. Well, anderson cooper showed his true

corporatewhore colors, didn't he?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

37. By "we" he probably meant The Hamptons/Country Club crowd. nt

[WeDidIt]

3. Um...

Just a point...

Edwards lied.

[earth mom]

40. And so have the majority of politicians in Washington DC.

Are they being raked over the coals as much as Edwards has been-especially here on DU?

Hell No.

[Dorian Gray]

4. Edwards did lie

blatantly.

[samsingh]

7. agreed - but why are Democratic lies pointed out while repug

ones are glossed over.

shouldn't there be one standard for everyone?

[maglatinavi]

11. ONE STANDARD

ARE YOU KIDDING... OR HALLUCINATING? :dem: :tinfoilhat: :banghead:

[samsingh]

14. no DEMANDING

[Zoeisright]

20. So does every other human being on the face of the earth.

[maglatinavi]

5. cooper

"OFF WITH HIS HEAD,SAID THE QUEEN!" :freak: :grr: :thumbsdown:

[Captain Hilts]

6. It's worse to lie about sex than about starting wars, exposing secret information, etc. nt

[Zoeisright]

21. +1

[gateley]

8. He did lie, and he admitted it. Maybe they have to say "alleged" unless/until they

admit to their wrongdoing. So many of them haven't admitted it. Just a thought.

[samsingh]

10. with a repug they don't cover the story (certainly not as a lead)

and they use words like

'he isn't telling us the whole story'

[gateley]

15. I never watch CNN any more (except if there's news on the weekend and MSNBC

is running their Lockup crap) but from what I've gleaned here, you're right. But the difference may be between "not telling us the whole story" indicating that the person hasn't admitted to anything, vs "he lied" when the person admitted to lying. :shrug:

[samsingh]

25. KO is awesome

[gateley]

43. That he is! Rachel has become my fave. nt

[Bluenorthwest]

12. some groups of Americans took his hypocrisy very personally

because he used us to help sell himself as Mr Baptist Values.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. He sure is pretty though. nt

[gateley]

16. Anderson or Edwards? I agree wholeheartedly on Anderson, Edwards never appealed

to me.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

18. Sorry, I was joking about Mr Cooper. He seems to be a good looking guy who always looks

at the camera with that Zoolander look. But he doesn't seem to have much going for him in th intellect department.

[gateley]

19. Bwah! That Zoolander Look! You nailed it - I'll never be able to look at him again

without thinking that! :rofl:

[EOTE]

22. Nobody does "Blue Steel" like the Coop. NT

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

24. But the question is. Can he ever master Magnum? I don't think so. nt

[sui generis]

17. eh. he's getting old and cranky and less thoughtful, just like the rest of us.

cut him some slack - there's far worse out there.

And the bullshit about him being a republican stooge is just adolescent.

[question everything]

26. Just because you disagree with what someone says does not make that

someone "a troll" or a 'RWer" or any other endearing terms that DUers like to use.

[samsingh]

27. no, but a consistent bias does

[madokie]

28. He was pretty good during and right after Katrina

I haven't paid any attention to him since, hell for that matter before then either

[Writer]

29. It's interesting how we project an entire world view on a person based on a single incident. n/t

[madokie]

30. Me?

[Writer]

31. No, not you.

And not just the OP. It seems to be a partisan habit to need to label people in the news media with a particular ideological bias.

For some reason, we always need to guess what "side" reporters are on.

[madokie]

32. whew!

I agree with that

[samsingh]

33. that's because the media is deciding which news to present and which to ignore

as well as how to spin it.

there is a bias - there shouldn't be - but there is.

[samsingh]

39. he was good in Katrina - i was hoping the change was permanent

it wasn't

[Gman2]

34. Liar is now so in vogue, that you MUST call libs that without proof or context.

[Generator]

36. Nah you need yourself some Lou Dobbs

His show is so hateful, so full of select information ranting against Obama that every time I ever pass by his show-it makes me want to go campaign for Obama-and I'm not that big on Obama these days. It's just the most biased bullshit out there and it's on CNN-not Fox. Dobbs is craftier at making it seem like it's "independent."

RE:Edwards,an easy target. He has no political future now and he cheated on his sick wife. It's just a story that is so easy to do, and so prurient and so pointless in the end. It's tabloid stuff.

[samsingh]

38. dobbs is an absolute disgrace and traitor

[samsingh]

41. good points

[Beer on a stick]

42. Yawn. Calling a liar a "liar" isn't being a stooge for anyone.
