    Sweet Edward R. Murrow's Ghost, Cooper is a legit reporter. I don't see FOX talking heads reporting from Darfur, Baghdad or even New Orleans.

    Well, Anderson Cooper has done nearly as many guys as Paris has.

    Anderson Cooper is the newsside answer to Jim Cantore.

    Fox has never had a problem with trying to overshadow their shortcomings by ripping other news outlets.

    Someone said what started all this is that Anderson Cooper turned down a job at Fox a few years ago.
    I do like how Fox's PR department isn't afraid to throw an elbow every now and then...I wish the PR departments at some of the bigger newspapers (yeah, I'm looking at you New York Times. And you, Washington Post) did the same.

    Fox News is such a joke.

    Honestly, only that outfit, in a pissing match with an anchor from another network, would plop the words "Success Earned" beside a picture of Greta van Susteren. Hell, only that outfit would stoop so low as to take out a print ad attacking another network's anchor.

    I assume this move means they've accepted the fact that they're the National Enquirer of news outlets.

    I heart your avatar. It's strangely hypnotic.

    But he's a starting shortstop for the other team.
