33. 25 Thompson:

"Anderson Cooper -- A Peabody, a DuPont and three Emmys for 360 in 2006. Greta Van Susteren? Zero. None at all, ever. So whoâ%u20AC%u2122s the empty suit?"

So who exactly are the nominators and voters of such prestigous Journalism Awards? If its other Journalists, and Selected Faculty membrs, well than the deck is always stacked in favor of Left Leaners to win, so I guess Lefty Anderson and CNN will garner even more awards from his buddies.

Let the viewing public vote and I guess he wouldnt do so well if ratings were the single source of voting.

34. 12. Interesting how you call Fox News the "right leaning" cable net. Why don't you call CNN what it is... the LEFT-LEANING news net?!!! Look who's biased after all!!! Fox is fair and balanced and that's why it is blowing all the other news channels out of the water in ratings. OPEN YOUR EYES, stupid Liberals!!!

Liberals are stupid because why? Fox is fair and balanced?? You said it right in the first sentence..they lean to the right...so WTF is so fair and balanced about leaning..to one side?? You are the stupid one..you contradicted yourself.
Fox reports their two-cents...on everything....that's exactly what they did when they tried to make Copper look stupid...they got busted for ..not reporting the fact's...now they're embarrassed....Fox sucks.

36. A conservative magazine, Insight, prints a story that's 100% false which claims that Barak Obama went to a radical Islamic religous school, called a madrasah, in Indonesia when he was a little kid, strongly giving the impression that he was this duplicitous, sneaky Islamic whack job who'd hand the United States over to those kooks in the Middle East the minute he'd get into the White House. It also gave the strong impression that Mr. Obama's running mate, Hillary Clinton, was the source of all of this.

At the end of the day, though, a CNN investigation revelaed that this so-called madrassah in Indonesia was nothing more than a public school, and that the story itself was nothing more than something dreamed up by Insight magazine itself. Why? To attempt to get Clinton and Obama to fight amongst each other. And being that they're the two top Democratic prospects for the White House in 2008, the magazine thought it'd do its part in trying to keep Republican control of that joint.

This is the truth. But did FNC report it? HELL NO!!! They, instead, chose to join the bunch over at Insight (owned by the conversative Washington Times) and help spread the propaganda. All CNN's Anderson Cooper did was point that out. He also made it a point to say that he'd never engage in this type of crap because he just reported the facts. Nothing more.

And does FNC respond with substance? Facts and figures? NOPE!!! They instead fling some lame-assed ad at Cooper calling him...the male Paris Hilton??? ROFLMAO!!! Is that the best they can do??? That is SO goddamned funny!!! How pathetic!!! This kind of crap proves more & more, everyday, that FNC is nothing but a propaganda mouthpiece for the Republican National Committee.

FYI: Curiously, FNC doesn't mentinon that CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" is (compared to Van Sustern's show) a two-hour show, and that, overall, his show kicks her ass in the ratings.

FYI 2: The real reason Greta Van Sustern was hired by FNC? A couple of months before, CNN had managed to convince Paula Zahn (who was working there at the time) to jump ship to go to their 24-hour news network, and they used a $2 million a year paycheck offer to make it happen. And being that FNC didn't even have enough money to muster $700,000, they ended up looking like a buch of limp dicks when they realized that their arch rival had gotten one of their major stars without much of an effort.

So, to divert attention from that reality, guess what they did? They hired Van Sustern, a former CNN employee, and somehow managed to pull $2 million somewhere out of their ass to pay her so that they could get in CNN's faces and say "You 'stole' one of ours? Well now we 'stole' one of yours!! And we're paying her $2 million, too!!! NAH, NAH, NAH, NAH, NAH!!!" Nevermind the fact that Van Sustern had been fired from CNN a couple of months before due to the fact that she couldn't cut it. ;-)

In short, FNC hired a total & complete hack (Van Sustern) because they were too embarrassed to admit that CNN kicked their ass, big time, by convincing Paula Zahn to work for them...which is really goddamned funny, in a pathetic sort of way. But, hey, it's their money, right? LOL!!!

37. FOX news is EVIL. All they do is preach right-winged propaganda. What's even scarier is that they have an audience!!

40. I really did like her before her plastic surgery now seeing her that takes the edge of her credibility?

I am happy for her If It makes feel better but I bet the boys In the boardroom are snickering.

I Love Anderson Cooper and I respect the fact the he does not come out some who do great but those who dont please remember this Is his private life.

I will always remember him crying during the Katrina Disaster and helping people In my eyes he was the only one during that time that made me feel that thje government Is not helping those who are in real need.

44. Look at all the posts on this! Anderson Cooper's total audience must have come to post here (43 posts to date). HA! Anderson only wishes he could even compete with anybody on Fox. Heck, Larry Freaking King (since Shona brought up wrinkly and old people) has almost double his audience! Check out TMZ readers... taking time out of their online news research (i.e. Paris, Anna and Rosie) to come support CNN. Yeah, like you guys have read any other section in USA Today but the purple anyway!

45. 33 Circle Jerk:
Anderson Cooper didn't win all of those awards by accident or because the people voting were 'leftist'. The news idustry has very set standards as to what constitutes award winning journalism, and it's clearly and easily defined.
The goal of good NEWS journalism is to inform; dig for pertinent & timely stories and report only the FACTS, or simply the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and WHY of an issue, while presenting ALL SIDES, or 360 degrees of an issue so that the viewer can make an informed decision FOR HIMSELF. The who, what, where, when and why of any story is never subjective; the answers are what the answers are, like the concrete answers to a math question. You're just not allowed to make up stuff and call it news. When you do that it's called fiction, tabloid journalism, or a sitcom. Good news journalists will check and recheck their facts ; and find it irresponsible and reprehensible to 1) represent and repeat as news incorrect factual information and 2) report only part of an issue, or using ommision when reporting because it appears to promote an agenda or special interests. That's considered unethical and irresponsible within the news industry. Nor are news journalists to put forth their personal opinion as news. (That's an editorial, or an opinion piece, not a news story.) A good reporter tries to meet these standards, and if they miss the mark, it's beholden to their superiors to correct it before it is aired, because it's the right thing to do, and they could be sued if the information is incorrect or misrepresents. You don't want to be fed propaganda like the Russians were during the Cold War, do you? People felt sorry for the Russian people because they felt their government pulled the wool over their eyes by keeping the facts from them, so they'd never know the freedom of making an INFORMED choice for themselves. The right to inform yourself PROPERLY with all the (correct!) facts by media who are ALLOWED to and NEED to do their homework so you can make the right choice for yourself is an inalienable part of a functional democracy. If a man might become a good President, but is denied that fair chance because an untruth is published about him and people believe it, and other news people do not attempt to redress it, then we all lose that chance. It's the responsibility of other news people to dig up the true facts. If all of the candidates views and backgrounds are presented honestly, then you can make the correct choice for yourself, and may the best man win.
Anderson Cooper wins awards because he reports all of the facts truthfully, with integrity an ethical balanced manner , and it's ony a plus for him that he's the total package, which makes him pleasant to watch. The show is not called 360 (degrees) for nothing. It means he has a mandate to show 360 degrees, or all sides, of a story. To report all sides, or 360 degrees, of a story does not make you a lefty. It puts you firmly in the middle. Which is where all journalists need to be when reporting news.
