I like Anderson Cooper, so if the others are beyond help I'll probably tune to Anderson.... and yes, I know he's gay, but he is a pretty reasonable journalist compared to most of our choices -- I'll take him over Joe, Gretta or Paula any day.
Heh, there was a series of "Jeopardy" shows a few months ago that featured famous newspeople/talking head contestants, including Anderson Cooper.
Most of them were surprisingly dumb, especially Tim Russert and Maria Bartiromo.
Anderson Cooper did very well, though. So did Peggy Noonan, whom I despise more than Aaron Brown. (They're both smug, and Peggy's politics are better; but she just grates...yechhhh.) Ari Fleisher was the smartest contestant.
