all you'll be doing and maybe people won't want to come on your show? The Melania fluff was designed to be just that or else no interview. It was total crap!!

He's a piece of shit.

If it weren't for Anderson Cooper's question to Trump about the sexual assaults Hillary would not be so far ahead right now. He's a good reporter and what exactly would going after Melania accomplish? I'll tell you what it would do...turn people AWAY from voting for Clinton out of sympathy for Melania being attacked.

And calling them liars. Softball questions were ridiculous.

Just like Hillary was not nice to the women accusing Bill, no one can expect Melania to be nice, either. Republicans are hypocritical about that and if Democrats are too then one side is no better than the other.

Plus, fed her answers. And let Conway spin her shit around and around, as she frantically chattered lie after lie. What an embarrassment.

Trump is running for the highest office in the land, but he's not qualified to run a local Little League- much less a Government.

Anderson said todays leaked video made the democrats look hypocritical for calling out Donno's "Locker Room Talk". I'm fucking sorry- is he kidding????

But with all of Trashpot's bloviating maybe this story will just get drowned out.

Another thing I noticed is that the guy in the video said they would incite Trashpot followers by wearing a Trump is a nazi t-shirt or a planned parenthood t-shirt...I find that hard to believe because you would be immediately giving your intentions away.

His job is to follow orders. Period. The network decides if the interview should be easy or hard. The network decides which topics will and won't be covered. Cooper's job is to do what he is told and pick up his check.

Now that we're back to the horse race and the surrogates are making so much sense.

Huge shift today in the way they are reporting on Trump. They're making him seem relevant.

CNN is all but up his ass.

So now they are trying to prove they aren't.
I change the channel every time those vile motor mouths are guests...can't stand them... like nails on a chalk board.

The media eats this crap up.

since Trump is whining so much about the unfair media.

The brass at CNN and Trump's pal Jeff Zucker are now bending over backward to give Trump and his surrogates easier treatment. I predicted it days ago. Typical.

Is a known liar and makes shit up

Trump isn't gonna win cause of this Desperation

to let him have it. He chided the female dem guest for calling out O'Keefe on his past. I changed the channel in disgust, and I went back at least 40 minutes later and he was STILL talking about, saying that some people don't believe O'Keefe, but it absolutely needs to be reported on. I am so glad I missed whatever it was with Kellyanne. He is really disappointing and lame.

So people should stop bitching at him for not attacking the wife of a candidate. Since when was attacking the family members of candidates acceptable? Just because Trump does it does NOT make it OK.

Trump was already spiraling since the 1st debate and the NYT tax revelations. He was not close to being ahead even before the sex assault issues. Then the tape did most of the damage closely followed by brave women coming forward to level allegations of assault. Anderson Cooper asking if he really did it or not was completely inconsequential. Do you seriously believe the allegations would be less damaging if he hadn't denied it when Cooper asked?

He made a statement, and did not initially phrase a question. A proper moderator phrases what he's asking as a question. Essentially, what Cooper did was set up Trump's 1 vs 3 line. Sexual assault must not be politicized. And I honestly believe Trump has in fact sexually assaulted.

I didn't even know what you guys were talking about. I had to go search for it. Not even Yahoo news has it on their news feed. Huffington post nothing. I haven't even seen any of the altright people I have on my friends list on FB posting it.

CNN seems to be the only one right now? Though I did stop watching after Matthews - couldn't take either CNN or MSNBC anymore tonight.

Melania should be off limits Let's go after Trumpnhimself Besides that interview did trump no favors and cooper is reporting everything cause they want a horce race Now they are gonna be talikng abou tmmrw debate and afte that they got nothing really left to talk about excel crap .. Just GOTV To make sure we win !! Don't let the media get you down They pull this crap every 4 years

led to important consequences, Anderson caught Melania Trump in a lie--that the encounter on Fifth Avenue "never happened" which was quickly countered by more evidence showing she was lying. His softball approach probably led her to be more comfortable and she made other ridiculous statements, which Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow both were able to feature prominently in their shows.

on edit - I didn't see him talking to Kellyanne or other interviews--so I'm referring only to the Ms. Trump interview.

i don't have a problem with it. she isn't a politician or running for office and she wasn't raised here. if he had been too tough on her they would have just been going on about how mean they are to her.

i didn't watch kellyanne interview either but with her nobody really cares and just sees her as repeating talking points and avoiding the question . she is way overrated with people saying how good she is.

And spinning like a top, talking as fast as she can, whirling around and around in lie after lie and Anderson Cooper let her - I wondered what the hell was going on. Plus Morning Joes disgraceful show this AM - is it that they still just want a horse Race?

Quid Pro Quo

It's not even a political spectrum bias, but he overshadowed the debate of the candidates with his showmanship.
