Anderson Cooper Loses The Mask - Drops Veneer of Objectivity - Attacks Trump On Twitter!
Pinkbell

Posted on 12/13/2017 5:13:24 AM PST by Pinkbell

Trump Tweeted this morning:

Donald J. Trump‏  

The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!

Anderson Cooper responded:

Anderson Cooper‏

Replying to @realDonaldTrump

Oh Really? You endorsed him you tool! Pathetic loser.

https://twitter.com/andersoncooper/status/940913050005237762

First of all, Trump did not endorse Moore in the primary. He endorsed Strange. He's not denying he supported Moore in the general; he just thought he'd have a hard time winning. He was right. Cooper's Tweet is #FakeNews

This is FANTASTIC for Trump. Trump has claimed for the longest time that reporters (CNN in particular) had a personal animus towards him. Anderson dropped the thin veneer of objectivity and proved his point with a personal attack AND false Tweet.

The liberals are praising Anderson up one side and down the other...which is even BETTER for us. He's getting praised by the left for personally attacking Trump. This only further makes the case for bias.

As far as the name calling, the liberals say Trump name calls. That's true - when attacked he will respond. However, CNN's whole point is that this is unprofessional and immature. They say that Trump should be above it. They act superior, yet here is Cooper name calling. I could perhaps see if Trump attacked Cooper personally, but he did not. This had nothing to do with Cooper. Also, the whole point is that CNN claims they are objective and nonpartisan. A journalist calling the President names and showing his disdain removes that veneer of objectivity. A journalist would generally just fact check, although often the so-called "nonpartisan" journalists do it in a snarky way on Twitter which reveals bias, but it's not this blatant and is ambiguous enough where they get away with all the while getting the leftists likes and Retweets. In this case, there was nothing to fact check though. Cooper just lost it on him.

Trump can use this case to further his point, but when it comes to name calling, Trump won't be offended, he'll just hit back.

It's been an hour, and the Tweet is still up. I don't know for how long. I hope it stays. If not, someone on The Donald got a screen cap already.

Cooper is an unprofessional idiot.

Didn’t see this before my previous post. Very odd if true.

"just woke up to find out someone gained access to my twitter account. i have not sent a tweet in days or replied to any tweets. We are looking into how this happened."

I call baloney. The "hacker" didn't change his password? I think it's much more likely a lover's spat (someone picked up his phone while he was asleep).

Either that or he did it himself and then realized how dumb it was.

Thousands upon thousands of years of human experience show that certain physical components serve very specific purposes.
Pointing out that a man who not only misunderstands this natural use, but actually defines himself through this misunderstanding cannot be trusted on important maters, is neither inherently stupid, nor “hate”.

The man is a moron, and the proof lies in his denial of nature. That some choose to laugh at him for his foolishness isn’t “hate” either.

You obviously aren’t having to deal with this issue up close, like say, having a young adult close relative having declared himself. So I am going to completely disregard your insupportable defense of the hatred that is in the comments to this post.

Really? You can’t think of any other reason to criticize Anderson Cooper than his sex life? Do you realize how inane you sound?

You remind me of Anderson Cooper. You're not using your head to think either. Where did I mention anything about his sex life? Using one's imagination is good, but making up things is not.

I didn’t make anything up, genius. You insulted him base upon his sexual preference.

“Drops the mask”...???

Is this the last guy on the planet that did not know he was a biased, flaming libtard?

Anderson got tea-bagged, his eyesight is a little blurry today. Honest mistake.

Anderson just said his twitter was hacked. Now typically I would call BS, but I don’t think he would send out a tweet like that while working for CNN.....he would get his point across in a different sentence structure. The tweet is deleted.

“He instead prefers to use his rear-end to do the thinking.”

“He instead prefers to use his rear-end to do the thinking.”

That's a figure of speech, dumbass. It's used all over the internet and in regular speech, and it's used to indicate that someone has to be using his ass to do the thinking.

And, why are you so sensitive about what anyone says about Anderson Cooper? Is he one of your best buds, or somebody you admire? Most people would have just skipped by the "rear-end" remark I made, and would have instead concentrated on the more significant parts of my post. So, can you now stop using your rear-end to do your thinking?

Anderson and Shep should just hook up, run away together, and never be seen again.

No, I’m not having to deal with this up close...

But I know the definition of hate. Criticizing people for their foolish choices is not it.

I know, right.

There are too many people who are helpless to direct their own lives that they would willingly give up their freedoms and liberty because the agree with the leader. Do they not understand that giving any leader the ability to dictate, is by definition a dictator?

Like ‘me or not, dictators are not American.

UPDATE - Anderson Cooper has said his account was hacked:

Doesn't matter. A tweet is forever.

I'm going to go score on the screencap. :)

He didn’t get hacked. That was the liquor talking.
