You can’t miss the bulging vein in his neck. The clenched jaw. The quiver in his voice. In other words, Anderson Cooper is this far from throwing a major hissy fit.

What caused it? The official BP Oil Spill Commission Report called out the CNN anchor for unfair reporting. It says he sought out only “angry” guests for interviews.
America’s most trusted name in news, indeed.
Anderson Cooper assembled one of the more eclectic group of panelists in recent history on Wednesday night: Motor City Madman Ted Nugent, formerly funny comedian Roseanne Barr and pollster Cornell Belcher.
Anderson Cooper assembled one of the more eclectic group of panelists in recent history on Wednesday night: Motor City Madman Ted Nugent, formerly funny comedian Roseanne Barr and pollster Cornell Belcher.
Everyone was on their best behavior for most of the discussion, but you knew it had to erupt sooner or later. It didn’t disappoint.
Nugent: Chicago people don’t look very helped to me. It looks like a tragedy. Did he help Cabrini Green? Is that one of his projects?
Belcher: You go to keep trying to help people.
Nugent: No, you need to try to help people by scolding them to help themselves. If you keep rewarding them for sleeping in then they’ll never get out of slavery. Why would you support slavery?
Barr: I’m scolding you because you’re blaming the people at the bottom who have nothing whatsoever..
Nugent: I’m blaming people who refuse to be productive.
Barr: Why don’t you blame the people who have the blame? Why aren’t you ever…
Nugent: Why do you want to people who have jobs and produce things?
Barr: I want to blame the Koch brothers and the billionaires and all the people who robbed the taxpayers of this country, absolutely.
Nugent: The government is the one who’s robbed the taxpayers this of country.
Barr: What would we do without government? Expect the rich people to take care of the poor? Are you crazy?
Nugent: The rich people are the ones providing jobs.
Barr: No, they’re not. There are no jobs. There are no jobs and rich people…
Nugent: Rich people who put all their lives the line to get creative.
Barr: Rich people don’t pay squat and it’s proven.
You know Nugent was thinking, “Wonder how long it will take me to bag my limit when Roseann season opens.”

Expect an increase of PDS – Palin Derangement Syndrome – in the coming days. Until Sarah Palin announces that she will or will not run in the 2012 election the left will remain in attack mode with an increased effort to smear her.
Expect an increase of PDS – Palin Derangement Syndrome – in the coming days. Until Sarah Palin announces that she will or will not run in the 2012 election the left will remain in attack mode with an increased effort to smear her. Tuesday night on CNN the host of 360 made his contribution to the cause.
Anderson Cooper was commenting on the sniping between Palin and the Wall Street Journal. It’s a bit convoluted so stick with us: Palin made a statement based on something she read in the Journal. A reporter for the Journal attacked her on her facts. Palin fired back, pointing out she got her info from his paper! The WSJ posted an editorial that defended Palin.
Cooper’s take on this?
Palin owes the guy an apology for attacking him and is becoming unhinged because she has been attacking the media a lot lately.
Yes, in the Bizzaro world of Liberals, the woman who has been under a steady barrage of attack from the media since before they even knew who she was (as we learned in the Journ-O-Listo scandal) is the one who is unhinged and should apologize!
Cooper spent five full minutes on his Palin bash before bringing on guests David Gergen and Dana Loesch to offer their opinions. Why aren’t the guest spots seen in the clip CNN posted at Cooper’s site? Because BOTH disagreed with him and pointed out that Palin was right. The network, in true CNN-hide-the-truth fashion, edited them out.
Our question for the Coop: Did you do a segment demanding an apology from PBS’s Gwen Ifill and the Daily Kos’ Marky Milquetoast for their farcical and incorrect attack on Palin for her statement to the Tea Party, “Let’s party like it’s 1773”?
Of course not.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper actually went on the air and bitched himself out for allowing Shirley Sherrod to say that conservative Andrew Breitbart was a “vicious” racist who “would like to get us stuck back in the times of slavery.”
We’re late with this one, so we might as well be trite, too, and say, “Better late than never.”
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper actually went on the air and bitched himself out for allowing Shirley Sherrod to say that conservative Andrew Breitbart was a “vicious” racist who “would like to get us stuck back in the times of slavery.”
Cooper: I interviewed Shirley Sherrod last Thursday. And in the course of that interview, I failed to do something that I should have. I believe in admitting my mistakes. I looked at the interview again today, and Ms. Sherrod said during that interview that she thought Mr. Breitbart was a racist. She said, quote, “I think he would like to get us stuck back in the times of slavery.” She went on to say she believed his opposition to President Obama was based on racism. Now, she, of course, is free to believe whatever she wants, but I didn’t challenge her that night and I should have.
I don’t want anyone on my show to get away with saying things which cannot be supported by facts. I should have challenged her on what facts she believes supports that accusation. That’s my job, and I didn’t do it very well in that interview, and I’m sorry about it. If I get a chance to talk to her again, I will.
Now if Cooper really wanted to bring honesty to CNN, he’d apologize for Rick Sanchez’ stupidity and Larry King’s senility.
Mea culpa, baby.

Selective amnesia struck Anderson Cooper when he aired a story about celebrity cheaters. They included Tiger Woods, Jesse James, Eliot Spitzer, Mark Sanford and David Letterman. But neglected CNN’s Larry King.
Selective amnesia struck Anderson Cooper when he aired a story about celebrity cheaters. They included Tiger Woods, Jesse James, Eliot Spitzer, Mark Sanford and David Letterman.
But what’s even more interesting is who Cooper conveniently forgot to include.
“What was striking was who was absent — Larry King,” noticed radio producer Tom Somach. “His cheating scandal got as much press as any of the others. I guess the fact that King has a show on CNN protected him. It was ridiculous and an absurd conflict of interest.”
C’mon, Anderson. You claim to be a real journalist (despite that horrible New Year’s Eve gig you do with unfunny comedian Kathy Griffin), yet your story on celebrity cheaters doesn’t mention Larry King, a guy who was on the front page of every newspaper in the country after he cheated on his wife with her sister.
That would be like doing a story about senile octogenarian talk show hosts who wear suspenders without mentioning ol’ Larry.

David Gergen, appearing with Anderson Cooper on CNN, said, “If our government had fought WWII like the way we’re fighting the oil spill, there’s a good chance many of us would be speaking German today.”

Amazingly, historian Douglas Brinkley doesn’t disagree.
Seig heil, Ubermeister Obama.
Displaying an inexplicable lapse of judgment, CNN brought seriously unfunny comedian Kathy Griffin back to co-anchor its New Years Eve Times Square coverage with Anderson Cooper again this year.

We actually pitied Cooper as we watched. He obviously finds Griffin as unfunny as we do and did that odd forced laugh over and over and over until he became even more annoying than Griffin. Which is really saying something.
Yeah, everyone knows Falcon Heene, the infamous Balloon Boy, but no other broadcasters were juvenile enough and unfunny enough to turn his unusual name into an obscene joke. (And we use the word joke in its broadest definition).
It’s no secret that Anderson Cooper is gay. But we’re pretty sure that’s not reason enough for Griffin to begin referring to him getting a blowjob.
What kind of serious news network would put the awful Griffin on the air and team her up with one of their serious news anchors, even on something as fluffy as New Years Eve in Times Square.
Only CNN. What were they thinking?

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper has seen his numbers slip significantly through the past year. His 10 p.m. show, “Anderson Cooper 360,” has declined 62% in total viewers and 70% in adults 25-54 from November 2008, according to Nielsen figures.
Hey, get your mind out of the gutter, pal. We’re talking about the latest cable news ratings here.
Here’s how Business Insider tells the tale of Cooper’s precipitous decline:
The respected CNN anchor has seen his numbers slip significantly through the past year. His 10 p.m. show, “Anderson Cooper 360,” has declined 62% in total viewers and 70% in adults 25-54 from November 2008, according to Nielsen figures.
Last month, in Cooper’s time slot, Fox News’ “On the Record” attracted an average viewership of 1.9 million while “360” averaged 672,000; repeats of MSNBC’s “Countdown” and HLN’s Nancy Grace show averaged 655,000 and 458,000, respectively.
What’s the cause of Cooper’s decline? The Business Insider speculates:
So what happened? Let’s see: There’s no presidential election to ramp up ratings; there’s heavy competition from centrist CNN’s noisier rivals (see: Fox News, the No. 1 cable news channel); there’s people catching up on DVR-ed TV shows in the late evening; then there’s the loss of Lou Dobbs in the 7 p.m. anchor chair, among other possible factors.
Oddly enough, the Business Insider concludes with a decidedly unbusinesslike recommendation:
Work those blue eyes, Coop!
Our recommendation would be slightly different:
Wear a short skirt, Coop. It seems to work over at Fox.

Here, in one remarkable paragraph, Davies clearly demonstrates that liberal media bias is a worldwide phenomenon.
Anne Davies is the Washington correspondent for Rupert Murdoch’s Australian newspapers, so one might assume she has her biases under control.
But, alas, it was not to be.
Here, in one remarkable paragraph, Davies clearly demonstrates that liberal media bias is a worldwide phenomenon:
Fox dominated the news channel ratings. Its top host, Bill O’Reilly, who offers right-wing ideology and belittles liberals, attracted an average 881,000 viewers, while CNN’s award-winning Anderson Cooper, who bills himself as a serious journalist who actually goes to war zones, rated only 211,000 viewers.
Well, that about sums it up. Thanks for putting it all in perspective for us, Anne.

The top 11 videos, plus a bonus video, of Anderson Cooper being a bit of a….girlyman.
Beck’s ratings are higher than ever. Remarkably, his show doesn’t run during primetime, yet his audience is larger than every prime time on every cable news network except Fox News’ O’Reilly-Hannity tandem. How long until Fox moves him into a more prominent time slot? And who will go to make room for him?
If President Obama’s henchmen are organizing a boycott of Glenn Beck, the ratings show that no one’s paying attention.

After several months of soaring ratings, the numbers have dipped a tad over at Fox News. But they’re not complaining, because the numbers are in absolute freefall at MSNBC.
Looks like the election of President Obama is the best news Fox News has heard in years.

It’s bad news when even CNN starts to figure out that Obama is waffling on his promises.
“There are now questions about how many jobs Mr. Obama is promising to create,” CNN’s Ed Henry said on Anderson Cooper’s show. He used three different video clips of Obama talking about job “creation” and each clip featured a different number.
“But Republicans are now wondering if the President has been hedging a little to scale back expectations,” Henry noted.
In related news, Obama said he would have troops out of Iraq in 18 months, or 24 months, or possibly 36 months. Maybe.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neh46EzE3TcWe love Anderson Cooper. That suave demeanor. That premature gray hair. That boyish charm.
But his performance after the inauguration was…well…it was…uh…uh…odd. Yeah, “odd” is a good description. Let’s just say his post-election performance wasn’t one of his best.
You don’t expect to see this many F-ups in a full season of Anderson Cooper 360. But every moment of this edited clip comes from young Andy’s show the day after the election.
Clear up some space on your mantle, Andy, because this clip will undoubtedly win you an Emmy.
