🚨 CNN is clutching their pearls over the Secret Service doing their job. Anderson Cooper and Kaitlan Collins spent an entire segment shocked — shocked! — that President Trump’s team used decoy planes, lowered window shades, and even a catering truck to move him after a serious Iranian threat on his life. They watched him board one plane. He wasn’t on it. He was already on a different aircraft. Their reaction? “Is there any precedent for this kind of deception?” Yes. It’s called protecting the President of the United States from people who want him dead. They make it sound...

Joe Rogan rumoured to join CBS after Anderson Cooper loss These might be two names you’d never think would be in the same sentence. Conservative podcaster Joe Rogan is rumoured to be moving to CBS News. The broadcaster is struggling with ratings on its flagship show 60 Minutes, after veteran journalist Anderson Cooper left last year. Whilst Rogan and Cooper at ideologically opposite, it’s hoped that the immensely popular podcaster, who hosts the Joe Rogan Experience with a reported 11 million listeners a day, will attract some much-needed viewers. Technically, Rogan is already on screens, as he presents his daily...

CNN, in a laughable attempt to boost its ratings, has attempted to dress up a couple of its broadcasts in podcast trappings -- based on the misguided notion that viewers will be attracted to the new form rather than the losing substance of what journalists such as Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper are saying. As an inevitable result, such a desperate move has been the object of widespread mockery. What is interesting is this mockery is not only coming from the right but even from left leaning media such as the New Yorker. Jay Caspian Kang who is himself a...

CBS News’ 60 Minutes is about to lose another high-profile star under the chaotic reign of the network’s editor in chief Bari Weiss following the shock exit of Anderson Cooper, according to a report. CNN’s Brian Stelter wrote in his Reliable Sources newsletter that “at least one other correspondent” is on the way out after it was reported Cooper would not be renewing his contract after becoming disillusioned with the direction of the now Donald Trump–friendly CBS News under Weiss. (snip) The official reason Cooper gave for not renewing his contract at CBS News was to spend more time with...

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” host Anderson Cooper said that, after the drawdown of immigration officers in Minnesota, there are “thousands” of officers “who probably couldn’t make it on a police force, probably couldn’t make it in the military. Some of them, obviously, have been serving for a long time, but some of them have 47 days of training because of the 47th president.”

Andy Cohen unleashed a wild rant about outgoing New York City Mayor Eric Adams that left Anderson Cooper visibly cringing live on CNN. Cohen and Cooper, who have been co-hosting CNN's New Year's Eve special for the past nine years, were putting away drinks for hours and bantering live during the network's coverage of the celebrations in New York City. Soon after the ball dropped in Times Square, Cohen, with a drink in his hand, said: 'Watching the final moments of Mayor Adams's chaotic...' Before he could finish his thought, Cooper interrupted and said: 'Oh no. I'm out.' Cohen continued,...

This week, a Virginia Grand Jury indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud. Evidence included her signature on a mortgage loan document that asserted the property to be financed was to be her primary residence. The Jury found that the fact that James lives and works in New York and that the Virginia house could not possibly have been her primary residence sufficient for her to be put on trial for fraud. James denounced the indictment calling it "unfair political retribution directed at me by Trump. True, I did prosecute and convict Trump for mortgage fraud, but...

CNN star Anderson Cooper took a shot at newly indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday, saying her previous vow on the campaign trail to zero in on President Trump was “not a great look” — as the Dem pol now insists that the charges against her are “political retribution.” Cooper brought up James’ conversation with a community activist who asked in 2018 if James was ready to sue the president — then in his first term in the Oval Office — as she ran for the state’s chief law enforcement position. “And she replied, ‘Oh we’re gonna...

It’s the most busted salary in news. CNN is reportedly paying anchor Anderson Cooper $18 million a year — an eye-popping sum that could be in the crosshairs when the ratings-challenged network is spun off by its debt-ridden parent company. Cooper, the face of the network and host of its primetime show at 8 p.m., has an uncertain future following Monday’s stunning announcement by Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav about the looming split, according to the Puck newsletter. Zaslav tapped WBD Chief Financial Officer Gunnar Wiedenfels to start looking for ways to cut costs when he takes over CNN...

This article originally appeared on vigilantfox.com and was republished with permission. Anderson Cooper just aired a short segment from his interview with actor George Clooney, discussing his Broadway directorial debut, Good Night, and Good Luck—a play about journalist Edward R. Murrow’s confrontation with McCarthy-era fearmongering. Screenshot from Anderson Cooper 360. The interview started off with Anderson Cooper trying to paint Trump’s first 136 days in his second term as the “worst” in America’s history. That was a claim so absurd that even Clooney couldn’t bite on that. “I can make an argument that we’ve had much worse times in our...

CNN’s Jake Tapper, one of the biggest shills for Biden and his “sharp as a tack” mental state, is now seeking to profit with a sham exposé of the Democrats’ cover-up with his new book “Original Sin,” co-authored by Axios’ Alex Thompson. An excerpt from the book reveal that Harris lost it after her post-debate interview in an entitled rant about how the Vice President deserves to be treated. “I thought we were better than that,” she allegedly said. Kamala Harris was visibly triggered as she stammered at Cooper’s questioning of Biden’s horrible debate performance in the June 27, 2024...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris blasted Anderson Cooper as a [redacted] to colleagues following a tense interview over former President Joe Biden's catastrophic debate performance against Donald Trump last year, a bombshell new book revealed.The then-veep unleashed the disparaging remark after the CNN host grilled her on Biden's cognitive health immediately following his disastrous showing in June -- that ignited widespread panic and ultimately led to the octogenarian dropping out of the race."This [redacted] doesn't treat me like the [redacted] vice president of the United States, she said to colleagues," according to the new book "Original Sin," co-authored by Anderson's...

Thursday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” senior political commentator Van Jones spoke with a group of African Americans in South Carolina who explained why they voted for and continue to support President Donald Trump. Seth Dawkins said, “I mean, part of it is he’s an &&&^&^&. I like — I like authenticity.” Detra German said, “It just opened my eyes to maybe he’s not this person that I have been led to believe that he was.” Kyasia Kraft said, “I saw how things were going during his first term, and I was pleasantly surprised, and I was pleased with what...

A “stunned Anderson Cooper watched as 60 Minutes boss sobbed through a shocking resignation meeting,” according to the Daily Mail. “Anderson Cooper looked on as his 60 Minutes boss cried while resigning amid corporate pressure brought by Donald Trump’s recent lawsuit,” the report adds. Yep, just when you think this story cannot get any more delicious, we discover that the serial liar who destroyed the reputation of 60 Minutes like no one since Dan Rather, is a literal crybaby. Bill Owens, who took charge of 60 Minutes in 2019, and who has been with CBS for 37 years, announced his...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson “They/them pronouns actually. Thank you.” Anddddd CNN’s ratings just dropped even lower 🤣 9:03 PM · Apr 9, 2025

Representative Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) claimed Friday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that Republican lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s voters are panicking over tariffs. Gottheimer said, “I think you’re going to see a lot of people panic and start to say, this is not what we signed up for. I did hear that from a Trump voter today who said, I did not sign up for higher costs, higher taxes. What’s going on here with all this chaos? And I think that’s what you’re going to see more of.”

SUNUNU: You’re talking about the FEMA money that was abused for migrants. That was FEMA money for migrants. That’s ok now? COOPER: No, I’m not saying it’s ok. Don’t put words in my mouth. SUNUNU: So, would you stop that? Would you stop that process? COOPER: Don’t be a d***.

Diplo ended 2024 on a high — literally. The 46-year-old DJ shocked Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper when he revealed he was tripping on LSD during his virtual appearance on CNN’s New Year’s Eve special. “I’m so curious, what’s the most conventional place that you’ve done LSD?” Cohen, 56, asked Diplo. “Right now,” Diplo responded. Cooper, 57, burst out laughing as Cohen was in disbelief over Diplo’s confession. “Yeah, I did some on the helicopter, on the way here,” Diplo explained. “Oh my God, hold on. Hold on. Please tell me. You’re tripping right now?” Cohen asked Diplo, who said...

Comedian/actress Whitney Cummings used the platform provided by CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live 2025 special on Tuesday night to take a swipe – or three – at both her host and a litany of other topics from the year now passed. The 42-year-old referenced herself in one joke promoting her 2025 tour dates while also roasting far-left CNN with its fast diminishing viewership numbers. Standing alongside hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper in Times Square, the comedian boasted she was playing “bigger and bigger venues now” following the birth of her son in December 2023. “I thought being a mom...
