And you, Anderson, will attack him even if he saved a city from annihilation.
Because his mom is Gloria Vanderbilt? Hm???
Did he ever apologize about rolling his eyes, as he was interviewing Kelly Anne Conway recently???
These media types are generally liberal, and their liberalism taints what is supposed to be an allegedly dispassionate airing of views and issues.
This is the same guy, who used the Orlando nightclub shooting, to beat up the attorney general of Florida over homosexual marriage. 50+ people are lying there dead, and Anderson Cooper shifted the discussion with her to saying, how can the “gay” community trust her to deal with legal aspects of the Orlando massacre, when she was involved in lawsuits to defend traditional marriage??
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised at the types of people who actually get paid to be on TV and deliver schlock “journalism” to us.
Coop still obsessed with poop
Bcoz hes a Poop Pal of numerous cnn execs
Adam Curry on the No Agenda podcast has been calling him Anderson Pooper for a couple of years.
I guess I didn’t get the memo about the anus now being declared a sex organ instead of a refuse chute. Must be that weird flash of light insight illuminated thingy that I read about that happens with “THEIR FIRST TIME”.
He apologized, which was appropriate.
He ought to apologize for eight years of Obama worship.
Duly noted.
Yes, they are the worst . . . Which was one reason why I am against any of their agenda. The more the get, the crazier they get
Must be the STDs accelerating the mental illlness
This is one example...."Madonna" recently fantasizing about the White House being bombed is another.
“Anderson, if Obama had sex with his boyfriend on top of his desk, you would applaud it!”
Typical liberal reaction to anyone who disagrees with them. I guess he didn’t roll his eyes this time.
They always apologize, as part of their act, AFTER the fact.
“It was unprofessional. I am genuinely sorry.”.............
The only thing he’s sorry for is that he got caught saying it. Stupid and highly UN-PROFESSIONAL, typical of most liberal “news people”.
I saw this quote below on another website and had to share it with regard to the vile behavior of Pooper Anderson. The bus driver story was too funny and I will definitely be using it when dealing with teens. And Dems. They detest being mocked. I guess the Dems who are the devils children have every kind of character flaw.
As a school bus driver, I’ve had lots of experience dealing with eye rolling teenagers. Usually they will do this when they have an audience of their peers. That is when you can have some fun! When the eyes start to roll, I would shriek loudly with alarm, “Are you okay?” Every teenager in the general area attention is now focused on the eye roller who is now mortified to be the center of attention. They will usually stammer, “I’m fine, why?” I would then dramatically pat myself on the chest, and say, “You scared me, I thought you were having a seizure or something, about to pass out the way your eyes were rolling.” This pronouncement will bring forth screams of laughter from the other kids. I usually would look pointedly at the eye roller and say, “I’m glad you are fine.”
Why isn’t Shepard Smith fired?
Homosexual A_Cooper can’t help controlling his emotions.
Apparently nor can his fellow liberal “journalists”.
It comes with the territory:
Journalists’ brains function at a lower level than average, study says

Journalists drink too much, are bad at managing emotions, and operate at a lower level than average, according to a new study

Journalists’ brains show a lower-than-average level of executive functioning, according to a new study, which means they have a below-average ability to regulate their emotions, suppress biases, solve complex problems, switch between tasks, and show creative and flexible thinking.
The study, led by Tara Swart, a neuroscientist and leadership coach, analysed 40 journalists from newspapers, magazines, broadcast, and online platforms over seven months. The participants took part in tests related to their lifestyle, health, and behaviour.
It was launched in association with the London Press Club, and the objective was to determine how journalists can thrive under stress.
Each subject completed a blood test, wore a heart-rate monitor for three days, kept a food and drink diary for a week, and completed a brain profile questionnaire.
The results showed that journalists’ brains were operating at a lower level than the average population, particularly because of dehydration and the tendency of journalists to self-medicate with alcohol, caffeine, and high-sugar foods.
Forty-one percent of the subjects said they drank 18 or more units of alcohol a week, which is four units above the recommended weekly allowance. Less than 5% drank the recommended amount of water.
However, in interviews conducted in conjunction with the brain profile results, the participants indicated they felt their jobs had a lot of meaning and purpose, and they showed high mental resilience. Swart suggested this gave them an advantage over people in other professions in dealing with the work pressure of tight deadlines.
Journalists scored pretty high on:
Abstraction, the ability to deal with ideas rather than events. It’s related to the part of the brain where the most sophisticated problem-solving takes place. In other words, it highlights the ability to think outside the box and make connections where others might not see them.
Value tagging, the ability to assign values to different sensory cues, such as whether something is a priority or has meaning. Scoring highly in this area indicates a good ability to sift through information and pick out what’s important.
Journalists scored lower on:
Executive function. As well as the traits mentioned above, low scores for executive function also suggest poor sleep, nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness. Many participants reported they had no time for breaks while working.
Silencing the mind, which is related to the ability to have thoughts without getting distracted by them, or a powerful ability to focus. Low scores indicate the opposite, suggesting journalists have a hard time preventing themselves from worrying about the future or regretting the past.
Compared with bankers, traders, or salespeople, journalists showed that they were more able to cope with pressure. Traits that make journalism a stressful profession are deadlines, accountability to the public, unpredictable and heavy workloads, public scrutiny, repercussions on social media, and lower pay.
The results, however, showed that the journalists were on average no more physically stressed than the average person. The blood tests showed that their levels of cortisol - known as the stress hormone - were mostly normal.
“The headline conclusion reached is that journalists are undoubtedly subject to a range of pressures at work and home, but the meaning and purpose they attribute to their work contributes to helping them remain mentally resilient despite this,” the study says. “Nevertheless, there are areas for improvement, including drinking more water and reducing alcohol and caffeine consumption to increase executive functioning and improve recovery during sleep.”
