Anderson Cooper: people who decided they're done with CNN after the recent debacle are choosing a Trump-free "silo"

No Anderson, Trump's lies, treason, and criminality have permeated every fucking corner of American life. Dropping CNN like a sack full of angry vipers will not end that in any way. It'll just give CNN what it deserves for participating in the damage.

@Nonya_Bidniss Anderson lies for a living

@rundmz @Nonya_Bidniss

This is starting to sound like Twitter. No, Anderson doesn't lie for a living. He's a dedicated and talented journalist who expressed a position that isn't popular.

What's sad to me is that we, as a nation, get this incensed over a difference of opinion.

@robhon What does Twitter sound like? He's a liar no matter how much you adore him. He works for CNN the National Enquirer of cable news. Any opinion he has he's paid to have. That's lying for a living.

@rundmz

It's the uninformed dismissive tone.

You clearly don't know much about Anderson Cooper.

@robhon Are you Anderson Cooper's alt account or just a secret admirer?

@rundmz

Another Twitter-like comment.

To answer, neither.

@robhon So you believe he's an angel descended from heaven and he can never tell a lie?

@rundmz

He's a highly respected journalist who is reporting in a way that is inconvenient for your priors.

@robhon It's not inconvenient to me, I get my news from more than one person. I simply pointed out he's a liar for a living. Nepotism got him everywhere and that is not a respectable trait to anyone who isn't unemployed.

@rundmz

If you think his reporting a lie, that's proof of the fact his reporting offends your priors.

And actually, Cooper is an interesting and unique person in that he separated himself from his mother's name and inheritance and earned his own way. And his mother wasn't a journalist, so nepotism would not have come into play.

(I can already see this conversation headed for a block.)

@robhon Do you always block people who disagree with you? I see, you're from Twitter.

@rundmz

I block inane people who can't seem to carry on a rational, intelligent conversation.

@robhon What is irrational about my opinion other than it disagreeing with your priors?
@robhon What if you were here defending Tucker Carlson saying the same thing? You sound inane and irrational with your idolatry of pundits.
