Cooper has dropped all pretense of being an unbiased journalist.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper lost his cool during a Friday night interview with newly released former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
In a contentious interview, Cooper finally boiled over after hearing Blagojevich’s defense of his gubernatorial record and his criminal case. Blagojevich was convicted of trying to sell or trade the Illinois Senate seat that Barack Obama vacated when he became President. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison and began serving time in 2012, but recently had his sentence commuted by President Donald Trump.
“I bet if you were to ask Nelson Mandela whether he thought it was fair in the early ‘60s in South Africa, he would say what I’m saying today,” Blagojevich said.
Cooper countered, “I’ve just got to stop you. As someone who worked in South Africa and saw apartheid, the idea that you are comparing yourself to somebody who has actually been railroaded by an apartheid system is just nuts and, frankly offensive.”

If Cooper can’t dunk on Blagojevich when he says he’s a political prisoner, what good is he?

The fact that either one views Nelson Mandela as someone to admire...
Well, that speaks for itself.
Typical socialist.

All prisoners are political prisoners.

So was Nelson Mandela so the comparison is apt.

I think he should have stayed in prison, and AC is a pretentious, privileged brat.
TBS, you just know he loved being able to throw this out there as one of his “bona fides”.

Cooper is an abomination to humans.

Blagojevich was guilty as hell, and was rightly convicted and sent to jail. Certainly you aren’t suggesting Cooper should have conducted that interview under the pretense that Blagojevich was innocent just to appear unbiased?
Blagojevich was a dimocratix, too, when he was sent to jail.

But if that is not the worst performance of Cooper's career by a large margin, the man should not be lead on a Slidell evening broadcast, much less CNN.

Why couldn’t cooper destroy him calmly and with facts? It just proves how the media works from a base of emotions that get in the way of their reporting.
