"THEY WERE JUST MAKING STUFF UP."
I really think Anderson Cooper is a nice guy. Is he a liberal dupe? Yes, sometimes, but its good to know he sees right through these Hezbo b@stards and has decided not to be their media pawn and for that, I'm grateful.
Better be careful or Cooper won't be allowed on any of the hezbollah tours anymore.
I don't know, they were experienced enough to make Andie sit up and beg like a good doggie.
I'm thinking his honesty would not have been so forthcoming had not all the damning info came out about suspect photos.
That being said, why can't all the Lamestream just adapt Cooper's attitude? Cooper's attitude in this case at least because he told it like it was, simply and truthfully.
Go ahead and take the photographs the nutzoids are stageing. But DON'T present them as unassailably true when you know darn well they're not. Take the pictures and give the readers the circumstances of their occurence. Tell the stories the enemy gives but make sure to state the stories are from WHO and what proof you had the story being told was true. AND if it's an editorial, STATE it's an editorial. This used to be Journalism 101.
THIS is the big problem with the Lamestream media and Bloggers et al have to keep banging on them until they straighten up and fly right. The Lamestream pulled the wool over our eyes with that "impartial journalism" mantra just a tad too long. They have no right to make news. They should simply report it.
Each day their reputation erodes. Someone tell them to GET A CLUE.
And some of them are on the payroll of the enemy, somehow and someway. You'll never convince me not.
PLEASE MOVE ALONG FOLKS... NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
Amazing, isn't it? Someone posted the actual video of it on here last night. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't watched it myself.
I saw the statement.
Anderson Cooper's job might be in danger.
He was just reporting the news...not spinning it per the CNN style manual.
ooops, I meant to say "I saw that segment" (not "I saw the statement") on post 20.
Yep, Anderson Cooper has done a fantastic job in Israel the past month. By far superior to any others. He does not display an outward bias, and is changing the overall tone on CNN. Somehow when I see Christine Amanpour now, she seems out of place with the network, rather than defining it.

Perhaps Anderson Cooper's 'partner' is a reasonable man and has been talking sense into him...either that or Cooper is a closet moderate...might as well get rid of all the skeletons in his designer closet...
He & several of the other CNN reporters were saying this sort of thing several days ago.
In general I think of Anderson Cooper as Geraldo Lite, but you've got to give him credit for this one.
CNN was also reporting that Amnesty International was calling Hezbollah terrorists for targeting civilian areas in Israel.
The pressies will point blank admit it if they are asked. But for every time they admit it, they run 400 stories with the assumption that Israel is a bunch of ogres hell-bent on killing Lebanese children.
There is tremendous credibility now attached to showing the hezzie agitprop is staged and fake. Cooper is trying to reap here. It'll be nice if they get in a feeding frenzy and eat their own.
So, when is he getting his own show on Fox News?
We must not be sidetracked by what appears to be emerging imbroglio...
Our focus (and resolve) must never be shaken (despite a magnitude 9 earthquack in Demokratisch Peoples Republik KaliforNia). We must remain steadfast, keep our nose to the eightball, and eyes on the hot-potatoe, eh?
Today is no doubt a very interesting day, however, it is my firm belief that we (as FreeRepublic.com) should ignore them (lest we lose focuse on the issue and sight of our quarrey). They're trying to run, obfuscate, and some other stuff too.
I'm just talkin' here: but what I'm perceiving is what is known as "circling the wagons". We should be the banshee's hootin' it up (and not being distracted by "stuff"). The banshee's should disappear into the night too. Let 'em waste heartbeats trying to figure out what's up, where'd they go? "Man they are so dastardly. I heard they eat their kids. Yeah, I'm going to do a show on that. You go Cronkite, you go maaaaaan. I certainly wouldn't want to cross them bloggers. You know what I heard? Somebody accused them of being ignorant and stupid, and they brought Dan Rather down. Mary Mapes still does therapy all these years later, I [defecate] you not.".
We must remain vigilant, we must not be deceived by the "fog" that they're trying to bring down onto the situation. We must rise above, we must put on our cloaks (er, pajamas), we must be The Avenger.
