Fox News' Liz Trotta Slams Anderson Cooper's Egypt Coverage

Fox News commentator Liz Trotta called Anderson Cooper's coverage of the Egyptian revolution "shocking" and accused him of having no "modesty."

<snip>

She called Cooper's reporting "really shocking," saying that "any correspondent worth his salt knows that you shouldn't be making editorial comments." Cooper, she said, became "quite incoherent, accusing Mubarak of lies--and, though they may be lies and probably were, it's not in his purview to say so."

1. Yes, because, if anything, Fox News knows not to insert opinions with news stories

3. Cooper was on the ground getting firsthand testimony from the protesters.

Also got roughed up by Mubarak thugs. Where was Trotta?

5. She's just part of the pile-on. See "Journalists angry over the commission of journalism"

It's a concerted effort:

6. At Fox, if someone lies, it's not their job to call it as such

Thanks Liz, I think your comments actually shed more light on Fox's shortcomings than anything else.
