Advice to Anderson Cooper: why don't you just quit? just turn in your journo mask and quit.

Anybody see his embarrassingly lame patty cake game with Uday, or is it Qusay Trump that just aired?

he just let him get away with misstatement after lie, after falsehood, after exaggeration, without so much as ONE refutation, except at the end (after the murderous twit left), when he gave a low (80%) assessment of the percentage of donations to the CGI that actually go to programs:

https://www.charitywatch.org/ratings-and-metrics/bill-hillary-chelsea-clinton-foundation/478

88 percent

Charity rating: A, that would be....A, as in......A, not F

http://www.factcheck.org/2015/06/where-does-clinton-foundation-money-go/

according to them, which also puts the LIE to trumpson's BS about its not being rated by the group Charity Natvigator because it's so crooked, they cite another charity rating org as giving them....

89 percent.

and the reason Charity Navigator won't rate them:

Charity Navigator: We had previously evaluated this organization, but have since determined that this charity’s atypical business model can not be accurately captured in our current rating methodology. Our removal of The Clinton Foundation from our site is neither a condemnation nor an endorsement of this charity. We reserve the right to reinstate a rating for The Clinton Foundation as soon as we identify a rating methodology that appropriately captures its business model.

What does it mean that this organization isn’t rated?

It simply means that the organization doesn’t meet our criteria. A lack of a rating does not indicate a positive or negative assessment by Charity Navigator.


more details on this at the above factcheck.org link

point is that Cooper was TOTALLY unprepared for this propaganda onslaught, and let him go on and on and on unchallenged.

and....how cool would it have been to show him the picture of one of the endangered animals he slaughtered, and asked him if that's an example of the family values his father engenders, or the three wives, or the modeling agency scandal, which, of course, CNN hasn't even bothered to mention

I could go on for a lot longer, but the bit about the charity pissed me off so much, it got me back online.

now it's time for some sort of blood pressure regulation

anybody see any of that travesty?

just QUIT, Anderson. you don't need the money. after the interview with this scumsucker, and the equally timid job you did with his sperm donor last week, you should just give it up.

in reference, IIRC to benefits flowing down to the marginalized ghetto blacks (my term, to be fair), Cooper just let it go....not bothering to point out this:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/adamhartung/2014/09/05/obama-outperforms-reagan-on-jobs-growth-and-investing/#28a4b3a120bc

well worth the read, even if it's just one of those anticapitalist comsymp rags

Bob Deitrick: ”President Reagan has long been considered the best modern economic President. So we compared his performance dealing with the oil-induced recession of the 1980s with that of President Obama and his performance during this ‘Great Recession.’

“As this unemployment chart shows, President Obama’s job creation kept unemployment from peaking at as high a level as President Reagan, and promoted people into the workforce faster than President Reagan.



“President Obama has achieved a 6.1% unemployment rate in his sixth year, fully one year faster than President Reagan did. At this point in his presidency, President Reagan was still struggling with 7.1% unemployment, and he did not reach into the mid-low 6% range for another full year. So, despite today’s number, the Obama administration has still done considerably better at job creating and reducing unemployment than did the Reagan administration.

“We forecast unemployment will fall to around 5.4% by summer, 2015. A rate President Reagan was unable to achieve during his two terms.”


and we all know what the current unemployment rate is

To just sit there and help them spread their lies, and propaganda. Somehow having you there makes it seem more real?

You Anderson are part of the problem, not the solution.
