Anderson Cooper — A Legend in CNN’s Mind

UPDATED below.

CNN bills Anderson Cooper as “a provocative alternative on CNN/U.S. each weekday to the typical network evening newscast, going beyond the headlines to tell stories in-depth and from multiple points of view.”

I know what Anderson Cooper’s capable of because I remember him at his best in New Orleans immediately after Katrina.

Today?  Today I caught him interviewing a mother and baby who “died” but miraculously came back to life.  You can see the story on just about every “news” site in the world.  Not exactly a “provocative alternative” to the “typical” evening news cast that goes “beyond the headlines” to tell stories “in-depth from multiple points of view.”

Poor Anderson.

UPDATED:  Now (@11:02 p.m. ET) Cooper is narrating a BREAKING NEWS story about the shooting in Las Vegas that took place early this morning.  No disclamers on the video that it is hours old.  One is lead to believe that it’s happening now.  What a ratings whore.
