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.

*Rim shot*

Anderson Cooper is the newsside answer to Jim Cantore.

Anderson Cooper is the newsside answer to Jim Cantore.

Muahahahhahahaha. That's great.

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 do heart Anderson Cooper. Very much so.

 

[Bubbler]

I heart your avatar. It's strangely hypnotic.

 

[Buck]

I do heart Anderson Cooper. Very much so.

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

 

[imjustagirl2]

And?

 

[Montezuma's Revenge]

I do heart Anderson Cooper. Very much so.

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

Who's the third baseman on that team -- Brook Jacoby?

 

[Trouser_Buddah]

Ooohhh boy.

Of course, you would have to watch Fox to actually see all their reporters reporting.

Reporting what? How the Democrats are pro-terror and that Obama went to a madras when he was a kid? You mean that kind of hard-hitting news? Or maybe they can run footage of prominent Democrats with the words "Child Molester?" underneath.

 

[subhead]

And?

I think Buck is saying that's the one thing keeping you two apart.

 

[Oz]

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

Nah, they would deny that as claim the liberal media labeled them as such.

No legit reporter ever serves as host of a reality TV show.
