I've always felt that Anderson Cooper is one of the best journalists

in a crisis - his approach to Covid-19 is excellent.
He just destroyed the Con's delusions about being a great leader and pointed out that he knows nothing about what leaders did because he doesn't read. Love how he uses the word frigging for the Con.

calling him criminally negligent.

Many of us wrote that the Con was criminally negligent months ago.

There is something gentle and empathetic about him but the best thing is he has absolutely no fear of the Con.

only showing the Q & A section.
Anderson never discusses the medical side without having experts with him.
And he always defers to experts. Notice how he's letting them explain the graph.

...but WTF did that idiot think would happen when he repeatedly, consistently, daily called CNN "fake" and tell every CNN reporter that they stink, attack their news anchors via imbecilic tweets, for nearly 4 years? Were they never going to drop the overly-professional need not to call him a liar when all he does is lie? Never going to call out his fascist tendencies, his corruption, stupidity, callousness, narcissism... EVER? FOOL. And yeah, they call him that now too.

but I "listen" to MSNBC from 8:00 - 4:30 while I work from home, then watch it until midnight, then turn to CNN for the repeats so I can hear Cooper, Cuomo and Lemon verbally wipe him off the face of the earth.

I enjoy it.

I don't watch a lot of CNN but I do like Anderson and quite a few programs on M$NBComcast are unwatchable

I beat that damn Trump.

I've been working from home since March, and that's what's on - no music, I'll sing too much. And my Cavs aren't playing. I got hooked.

I'll be okay on 11/4!

He comes from a wealthy and famous family, but it did not spare them tragedies. He knows what it means to suffer loss and pain. He can feel the hurt in others. His deep empathy is always present. He also knows who he is. That also makes a difference in how someone is in the world.

He’s very invested in enabling a just, kind and peaceful world for his son. Parenthood can change you in the most amazing ways if one is open to it.
