CNN’s Anderson Cooper has built his reputation on being a trusted news anchor — not a pundit, which he explained during his show on Thursday.
During a frank conversation on how the news — and CNN — has covered the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, Cooper defended his network to The Breakfast Club‘s Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Rye. He also defended himself from criticism that he got from Harris supporters after Wednesday’s town hall with the VP.
After the animated conversation turned to how Harris was questioned about her policy and the double standard when it came to how Trump was questioned about his — or his lack thereof, as Cooper explained — Charlamagne said: “What you just did is what I would like to hear more pundits do.”
That raised Cooper’s hackles, because his response to Charlamagne was: “I’m not a pundit.” He explained further:
Cooper: I believe in asking questions and probing people’s arguments and trying to reveal people’s arguments, what’s true and what’s not. And I like — I’m not on MSNBC for a reason. I’m not on some other network for a reason. I’m on CNN, because I want to talk to Republicans. I want to talk to Democrats. And I want to learn from them. I don’t think I have the answers. I’m willing to change my mind. People can convince me of stuff all the time. Like, I’m not a — I don’t even know why I’m talking about myself!

Anderson Cooper also misunderstands that many ordinary Americans have tuned out his Gaslight Media.

I watched the video to save folks time.
It starts with bashing Trump for having no policies.
At the end, there’s some babbling about the harris interview
Cooper’s job is to be a leftist hack.
His critics are complaining he was not a full blown Commie leftist hack.
Trotskyites vs. Stalinists
🤣 Priceless!

“CNN’s Anderson Cooper has built his reputation on being a trusted news anchor — not a pundit,“
First time I have seen a joke start with the punch line.
Why does anyone care what a mentally ill depraved idiot thinks?
lol
I think the issue is that besides the most left of leftist “reporters”, ther others don’t know HOW to make it easy enough for harris during an interview because she’s such a moron.
Perhaps beyond anything most have seen before...which is saying a lot.
How SOFT can you make an interview before even your side is like “man, just hand her the script”
And she’s still mess it up
Re: “”I watched the video to save folks time””
Thank you verrrrrrry much!
You are performing a fantastic Freerepublic service.

I would change it to:
Why does anyone care what all of mentally ill depraved idiots think?
Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder
You mean your job isn’t to shill for every Dem candidate?
It was very painful but I went in and got it done!! :)
Should get hazzard pay :)
Boy I dislike him. Well, all of them.
Michael Corleone says “don’t hate your enemies, it clouds your judgement.”
I try :)
Any effort - no matter how well intentioned - that results in embarrassing Kamala will make you enemy #1. We have seen this time and time again. Liberal media is expected to toe the line.
Welcome to the club, Anderson.
Was he gargling man butter while he chimed in on this?
Whining to Anderson Cooper because they didn’t get their way. Typical.
