It is not his fault because he was hired to be a spokes-model and not a reporter or journalist.

Typical CNN news panel:

Men/women in tinfoil hats (basically all Trump supporters) - "Hilary is one of those reptilian creatures from V."

Anderson, "Werewolf" Blitzer (one of their closed captioners actually called him Werewolf last month), etc. - "So, Hilary, some people say you're one of the lizard people, how do you respond?"

Hilary or her supporters - (thinking "WTF?" - then has to give an adult answer to this drivel.)

Speaks several languages.

Just because he asks questions you stress out over, he is stupid?

Wow. Just, wow.

when he himself gives paid speeches at $45,000+ per appearance.

For a single speech. And Anderson Cooper is not running for president.

I support Hillary now but I don't think the speeches to Wall Street are an illegitimate issue. I think questions about that are far more legit than the nonsense about her health or the Clinton Foundation.

There is a potential conflict of interest in that Cooper can frame coverage on his program to benefit organiztions that have paid him for speeches.

Many politicians and other celebrities, including former secretaries of state give paid speeches, it's literally NEVER been an issue before.

The speeches to wall street are pretty illegitimate of an issue, per those who know anything about these types of highly paid vanity speeches, where people get a big ticket celebrity to impress their audience.

... at all.

I don't disparage her for asking what she's worth... not at all

can handle it because she's coming from a place of truth. Trump cannot as evidenced by his total lack of appearances on networks as of late, except for maybe FOX. As long as they keep pointing out Trump's lies I am all for them being just as tough with her. Except she doesn't lie like Trump does.

Anderson Cooper is a very bright journalist. He pulls down fictions. Hillary withstood his questions. They are both the better for it. So is journalism.

A few months after the primaries, she appeared on a cable news program as an Obama surrogate, which felt surreal at first, but she did such a great job that I remember thinking "I am really glad to have her on our side now."

Hopefully she did the same with Anderson.

Calling that person a journalist is a disgrace to real journalists. He is more of the typical hack crap we have today. Americans knows this and usually they mock CNN and the Faux News right wing hacks.

He has given money only to Republicans...but has not said he is GOP...but I have seen him say stuff that leads me to believe he is Republican. However, he has not actually said that he is. I thought he didi in 08 ...but I could find nothing to prove it...only the money thing.

he doesn't make a secret of it, but says that it doesn't define who he is. I guess you'll just have to take his word for it. The republican part - I don't know.

Did she do a good job of pushing back?

Even richer than most talking heads, therefore a part of the oligarchy.

That is very different.

politeness or the manners. Calling me an uncultured slob for defending myself successfully is pretty classless. I should have guessed you would respond with an insult from your need to correct someone before checking to see if they might actually be in the right.

The best schools and such. But Gloria has already let him know that there will be no inheritance. Any riches he has are what he has earned himself.

That is, to avoid being sent to Nome Alaska to do a talk show with only Inuit guests. IOW to avoid getting a career killing assignment.


IF you would like to speak out on M$M not reporting news that would upset the GOP, and treating GOP big Lies as if they were fact - the Washington Post asked readers for ideas for editorials. THe time to recommend ideas has passed, but you can still add your comment to the article reporting the results of their survey or readers - check this out for link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512382540

He was born into a family of narcissists so it's no surprise.

then fox because it disguises itself as being bipartisan & at least fox doesn't hide what it is.

Andrea Mitchell is I think even worse than Cooper. I cannot take 5 minutes of her stuttering & stammering around. She has a hard time just getting a sentence out & then the sentence or question is BS, for example, going on about Clinton emails or the Foundation which is as I said, BS.

It is really getting more disappointing every day regarding the media.

Then you turn around ask the opposing side, why is the earth not flat? That's when they have to pause and use their intellect to challenge. But they are afraid that the candidates will shut the off and it might hurt their career not having access to people.

we ended up with fucking W as pResident. They promoted him over Gore who wasn't a teevee kind of guy so the clown folks would like to have a beer with ended up breaking the world and his fans barely get the irony if at all.

Glad I don't do teevee, haven't since 1980.

What do you expect to see on corporate propaganda channels?

What is both is the correct answer.

What's your point again?

I'm a new poster, but I have "the knives out" for the entire corporate propaganda machine.

If all they did was report that Hillary is winning in every poll all day they would never make any money. ratings would go down, and we can't have that can we?
