He's playing it too safe then. Haven't heard him make waves since the election season.
Chris Cuomo is sharp like Tapper but idk how much airtime he has.
Anyways I hope Tapper and others apply pressure until the administration starts firing people and getting sloppy so we can get these pos out of here,
Oh yah, like I said he could if he wanted to, he's not doing what he should now but he has it in him:
After Cooper graduated from Yale University, he tried to gain entry-level employment with ABC answering telephones, but was unsuccessful. Finding it hard to get his foot in the door of on-air reporting, Cooper decided to enlist the help of a friend in making a fake press pass. At the time, Cooper was working as a fact checker for the small news agency Channel One, which produces a youth-oriented news program that is broadcast to many junior high and high schools in the United States. Cooper then entered Myanmar on his own with his forged press pass and met with students fighting the Burmese government. He was ultimately able to sell his home-made news segments to Channel One.
After reporting from Burma, Cooper lived in Vietnam for a year to study the Vietnamese language at the University of Hanoi. Persuading Channel One to allow him to bring a Hi-8 camera with him, Cooper soon began filming and assembling reports of Vietnamese life and culture that aired on Channel One. He later returned to filming stories from a variety of war-torn regions around the globe, including Somalia, Bosnia, and Rwanda.
On assignment for several years Cooper had very slowly become desensitized to the violence he was witnessing around him; the horrors of the Rwandan Genocide became trivial: "I would see a dozen bodies and think, you know, it's a dozen, it's not so bad."
This is what lead to him quitting:
On the side of the road [Cooper] came across five bodies that had been in the sun for several days. The skin of a woman's hand was peeling off like a glove. Revealing
macabre fascination, Cooper whipped out his disposable camera and took a closeup photograph for his personal album. As he did, someone took a photo of him. Later that person showed Cooper the photo, saying, "You need to take a look at what you were doing." "And that's when I realized I've got to stop, [...] I've got to report on some state fairs or a beauty pageant or something, to just, like, remind myself of some perspective."
And then there was a time on CNN and in some debates where he would really press people.
Dudes way too milquetoast currently for his actual chops.
Well Cooper ain't hardcore anymore. He and Don Lemon are participating in the Foxlytzing of CNN. So Trump was partially right. CNN used ot be real news, but they have got all FauxNoise Lite and the shyt is sickening. They need to be on the attack with Trump at all times. Fugg the soft stuff.
I agree, I'm just saying he could be if he wanted to be, Don Lemon on the other hand is incapable of it.
Edit:
Forgot to add this video of Anderson close to getting shot:
There's another one where the place he's sleeping at is close to bombing as well.
