It’s really sad, and it is traumatizing to those affected...

Media reports say the dramatic spike in cases may be linked to the Ukraine crisis. "Correlation does not equal causation," said CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. "But this time it may.

The cable news network on Tuesday evening announced that Chris Cuomo, 51, was suspended indefinitely, with Anderson Cooper extending his hour-long show to two hours, to cover Chris's 9pm slot.

New York (CNN Business)CNN is suspending prime time anchor Chris Cuomo "indefinitely, pending further evaluation," after new documents revealed the cozy and improper nature of his relationship with aides to his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The benched anchorman is declining to comment. A second hour of "Anderson Cooper 360" will air in Cuomo's place on Tuesday night. Tuesday's announcement about the suspension was the equivalent of a cable news shockwave. Cuomo's 9 p.m. program is frequently CNN's most-watched hour of the day. He is a larger-than-life presence at the network. And he was determined to stay on...

Robert Gates, former President Barack Obama’s secretary of defense, slammed President Joe Biden during an interview that aired on Sunday, and praised former President Donald Trump when it came to foreign policy.

That list goes on. Now I will say that in the Obama administration, he and I obviously had significant differences over Afghanistan.” Gates...

Dr. Anthony Fauci quickly walked back his prediction Monday that in one year, by the fall of 2022, the United States can get control of COVID-19. During an appearance on CNN, President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser offered an apology, claiming he misspoke and meant to say that ideal is within reach by the spring of 2022, but only if people holding out on getting vaccines decide to get the jab. "No, Anderson, I have to apologize," he told anchor Anderson Cooper. "When I listened to the tape, I meant to say the spring of 2022, so I did misspeak....

RINO Rep. Adam Kinzinger said that former President Donald Trump continuing to assert that he won the election could lead to large scale violence. Rep. Kinzinger began the interview with Cooper by whining about people on the internet talking about bringing out the gallows. “On January 5, we never imagined that January 6 the level of dead would happen, even though a lot of us predicted violence up to that day. That’s the new floor now. So when you look at online rhetoric and you look at chatter that’s happening, and you look at maybe 100 people post insane comments...

Former U.S. President Barack Obama in an interview for CNN's Anderson Cooper shared his thoughts, among other things, on the global crisis of democracy. "All of us as citizens have to recognize that the path towards an undemocratic America is not gonna happen in just one bang. It happens in a series of steps" - said the former president. "And when you look what's happened in places like Hungary and Poland, that obviously did not have the same democratic traditions as we did, they weren't as deeply rooted, and yet as recently as 10 years ago were functioning democracies, now...

Former President Obama is claiming right-wing media outlets of profiting by stoking “fear and resentment” among white people toward a “changing America” — pointing to national pushback on critical race theory as an example. The 44th commander-in-chief told Anderson Cooper in a CNN special Monday that many race problems are a reflection of the US not having “fully reconciled with our history.” He said it was “hard for the majority” of white Americans “to recognize you can be proud of this country and its traditions and its history and our forefathers and yet, it is also true that this terrible...

Joe Biden traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin Tuesday evening to participate in a CNN presidential town hall. Biden stole Wisconsin with a big vote dump in the middle of the night after Election Day so no doubt CNN will use Democrat plants tonight during their event. Joe Biden started the night with a huge whopper of a lie. Biden told Anderson Cooper that there was no Covid vaccine when he got into office. Thanks to President Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed,” a Covid vaccine was approved and ready to be distributed by October/November. The Biden Admin inherited Trump’s vaccination program already meeting...

Liberal billionaire Bill Gates made a shocking confession that made his climate change activism reek of hypocrisy. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper surprisingly decided to corner Gates on the extreme amount of “greenhouse gas” emissions that the tech billionaire emits through his private jet usage during a Feb. 14 60 Minutes interview on CBS. The astonishing part came as Gates admitted to Cooper that he had one of the “highest greenhouse gas footprints of anyone on the planet.” Cooper, however, spent most of the interview pushing Gates’s agenda to convince viewers of the need to completely transform the global economy into...
