Super Cooper

Apparently I upset the apple cart of a few Anderson Cooper fans who

feel that I am somewhat unfair to CNN's golden boy. Perhaps there is

somewhat of a point to be made in the belief that Anderson is just a puppet

of the brain-sucking Trotskytes at CNN, and this is what is holding the

intrepid journalist from covering the real issues that he claims to champion

as though he were Christ off the cross.

Anderson was quick to point out the failures of the Bush Administration,

FEMA, the state of Louisiana, and Mayor Ray Nagen in his Katrina "Keeping

Them Honest" retrospective, but he certainly neglected to hold himself to

the same standard.

During the turbulent days after Katrina hit, Cooper caused no end

of hysteria and sensationalism by making the following claims;

A-Cooper claimed that there were "bands of rapists going block to block"

B-That snipers were shooting at rescue crews.

C-There were "10,000 dead", and "even little babies are being raped"

D- That "Gangs of Rapists were trolling the Superdome", and "bodies

were stacked like cord wood"

These are just a few of the exaggerations, and flat out lies that Cooper

told during the Katrina debacle. ABC alone had over 200 journalists

in the Superdome, and the stories of a Mad Max, post-apocalyptic, hell zone

were completely false.

So did Mr. Cooper address the media's disastrous reporting? Where was

CNN's accountability, and honesty that Anderson purports to uphold?

It seems it was forgotten as Cooper and company engaged in hour after

hour of nauseating back slapping, and self-congratulating.

Anderson Cooper certainly isn't the only one guilty of Katrina mania,

but he seems to stand alone in pompous self absorption, packaged

as objective journalism.

Cordially
