Is anyone watching CNN?

[WebmasterAlex]

Anderson Cooper just completely lost it during an interview, he was bordering on hysteria. By the end of the interview you could tell he was upset about his own behavior.

I saw it. Time for Anderson to take a bit of a break.

 

[mtblujeans]

We don't get CNN. What happened? Is he just tired and can't take it all anymore?

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

what did he do?

 

[TiggerPiglet]

I was actually wondering about these reporters. I would imagine they're probably not really drinking and eating themselves and are really hot, not to mention all the atrocities they are witnessing. I'm not surprised he would have a breakdown.

he's standing there watching emotions pour out of people that are coming home to total devastation. he watched parents find out their baby is okay.

i'd be crying also.

He was interviewing a politician, I believe it was a senator from Louisiana. She was thanking some other politicians for bringing congress back early and being bipartisan etc etc.

He started yelling how does it sound to be thanking politicians when this is going on, he was on the verge of hysteria. He pulled it back together towards the ended up thanking her, he looked like a whipped dog.

The politician involved did a pretty good job of handling it

I was going to say....what are the reporters doing for food and water??

 

[GailT]

OK, call me dense, dumb or a nitwit but who is he?

 

[Regina]

I saw the same interview that Alex is talking about. The reporters really need to take a break.

 

[WebmasterAlex]

Gail,

He has an hour long show on CNN during prime time every night called Anderson Cooper 360. If you put his name in google you will get a lot more info

Poor Anderson.
I've had a crush on him since The Mole. I really hope he gets some rest soon, but I doubt that will happen. The stuff he is witnessing must be having a real impact.

 

[TiggerPiglet]

He used to host the reality show the Mole. He is also Gloria Vanderbilt's grandson.

 

[Free4Life11]

CNN has it right..."Crisis in New Orleans." That is what they are calling this.

 

[MoniqueU]

Not a CNN fan but sorry he had a meltdown. I can see how that can happen though, anyone on the frontlines has to be at their breaking point.

 

[palmtreegirl]

I love Anderson and agree with everything he said. I'm just so angry and sad watching the news, I can't even imagine what my mental state would be if I was seeing things with my own eyes.

 

[drgnfly30]

He used to host the reality show the Mole. He is also Gloria Vanderbilt's grandson.

I'm pretty sure he's her son not grandson...

 

[TiggerPiglet]

I'm pretty sure he's her son not grandson...

You're right. I'm not sure why I wrote grandson. It's been a long day.

 

[grinningghost]

I don't usually watch CNN, but I'm sorry to hear about Anderson. I know he has a job to do, and so do other reporters, but they're only human - that has to be more than even most reporters can bear.

Aloha!

I am proud that so many of our journalists are speaking out and confronting the politicians who are so callously sitting by while we and the world are watching American babies, and children and grandparents die in this unspeakable tragedy.

Anderson lost it because Sen. Landreau had the opportunity to demand more from the Fed Gov't on behalf of her constituents (including the poor woman whose dead body Anderson had witnessed being eaten by rats) and instead gave virtual hi-5s to all of her political friends.

Now we all know how prepared we really are for a national emergency...so much for Homeland Security! The bodies of dead AMERICANS are left to rot, police still have no way to communicate with each other, criminals have taken control because of a lack of MILITARY presence and the fact that they were able to obtain AUTOMATIC WEAPONS, there is STILL no official website for families to try to begin to establish contact, they never even registered the names of the any in the Dome or Center so they have NO CLUE who is coming or going, babies are literally dying of thirst and we can't airlift in bottles to drop on these poor lost souls??? We can send buuses OUT to TEXAS but can't send any IN filled with bread and water and ice? Help is ON THE WAY??? WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? THIS IS AMERICA?
YEP! I'm disgusted about a lot of things!
