Discussion: Anderson Cooper: 'I Should've Been More Skeptical' Of 'No-Go Zone' Talk

Discussion for article #232339

Shorter Cooper I need to stop using World Net Daily for my news feed . Usually their stories boost our ratings when there ain’t no mysterious plane disappearances.

“I didn’t challenge them and twice referred to them as well. I should have been more skeptical. I won’t make the same mistake again.”

No, what he did was run to a GOP constructed talking points over Obama "not sending an important official to Paris " and dismissed the Vice President as a guy that watches junk TV programs and does little else. What Obama did do was send a plane load of investigators and consultants to France…while Mr. Cooper was allowing his viewers to be mislead by assholes.

“Cooper did not apologize for using the term to the extent that Fox News did, however.”

Actually, I would say he went further, in that he made a blanket apology. Note the weasel words in the Fox statement quoted (emphasis added):

“To be clear, there is no formal designation of these zones in either
country, and no credible information to support the assertion that
there are specific areas in these countries that exclude individuals
based solely on their religion,” Fox News anchor Julie Banderas said
Saturday.

Well Anderson that’s what happens when CNN tries so hard to be “Fox Lite”. Maybe if you interviewed liars on the CNN Pseudo 3D Holodeck made to look like a No-Go-Zone, it would have been more believable. Nah, probably not.
