Cooper Grills Facebook Exec Over Pelosi Video-Shouldn’t You Just Get Out of the News Business?
Mediaite ^ | 5-24-2019 | Tamar Auber

CNN’s Anderson Cooper had some tough questions for Facebook’s Head of Global Policy Management Monika Bickert in an an interview that aired on Friday night, at one point telling her if the social media giant is going to be in the news business “you’ve got to do it right.”

Cooper started off the video by pointing out that a doctored video of Nancy Pelosi appearing to be drunk has been spread over a million times on the social media site even though Facebook is aware it is a fake.

“They’re not even commenting on it,” he said, before introducing Bickert, who he said was serving as Facebook’s spokesperson.

“Facebook has repeatedly told Congress and the American people that you’re serious about fighting disinformation and fake news, yet this doctored video that I think your own fact checkers acknowledge is doctored of Speaker Pelosi remains on your platform. Why?” Cooper asked her.

Cooper- HOW DARE YOU allow an Inner-Party member to be mocked! Don’t you know only Party Approved late-night comics are allowed to mock powerful people? And even then, mocking Democrats is not allowed. What will your penance be?

Actually, people have been noticing her problem for quite a while now. She is having increasing problems speaking and gathering her thoughts. Its tough. Its funny if you just see her as a political figure, but she is headed down a hard road.

Who thinks Facebook is in the news business?

The same people who think Chevron is in the candy business?

Hey Cooper... If I concede that Nancy Pelosi may not have been drunk would you concede the possibility that she is suffering from dementia? I thought not.

Politically I detest her.

But I feel.for her family and even some of her fellow Democrats, that nobody in her inner circle is able to pull her aside, and tell.her it’s time to retire. She may well be experiencing the first signs of Alzheimer’s or dementia. She should not be in a powerful public office.

It’s a montage of Nancy being Nancy Cooper, you moron. No one has to ‘doctor’ any video when reality is plain for all to see.

CNN’s the one that should get out of the ‘news business’.

“Nancy Pelosi appearing to be drunk has been spread over a million times on the social media site even though Facebook is aware it is a fake.”

So what? It’s newsworthy either way.
