anderson cooper needs to go - everyone should stop watching his show. He is a right wing shrill

incredibly slow witted and allows republicans to get away with lies and lies.

just stop watching his show so maybe we could get a real journalist on.

Don Lemon is much better - for now - but he too is softening.

Are pushing the right wing. They are the face of the media branches of multinational corporations that actively lobby for right wing agendas.

They are:

1. Joy reid
2. Rachel Maddow
3. Lawrence O Donnel
4. Chris Hayes

I hate "fake" panels where everyone is supposedly equal with surrogates. I gain nothing listening to them since they have their points set no matter what the other side says. That Kayley Macneny reminds me of middle school debate team where they have their evidence and will go over them no matter what. this is not a debate competition.

As for Anderson Cooper, he was helpless against Donald Trump Jr yesterday, and Jr was not even good. I think Macneny would be a good interviewer as she has so many facts, numbers on her fingertips. Maybe one day she will realize her mistake.

I often just fast-forward through it as they are just "talking points dolls". It is not like you'll get anything meaningful or informative out of them, as they won't go off script.

I like your list of four. During the day, I like Tamron Hall, Craig Melvin, and Thomas Roberts. I've always like Rachel Maddow, but lately I am often annoyed by the way she over-explains everything. The repetition gives me a headache.

All these shills are filthy rich already. Why don't they quit and join a website where they can use their brains and any morals that have not yet withered.

to say things they thought they were using only their inside voice for. A few hours later it blows up in Trump's face. That is why there is this anti Anderson campaign always peppered with "he is Gloria Vanderbilt's son" by the third response to the anti Anderson OP
