The Most Busted Names In News (or The revenge of The Mole)

No serious anchor would want to be where Cooper is today, at the center of a vast train wreck which cannot be explained away as the inevitable result of the sudden appearance of big news in a difficult setting, as with hysterical Katrina coverage of bodies stacked in freezers and gun fights in the Superdome, or the result of the input of bad data, as with the early call of Florida for Gore in 2000.

No, this premeditated mediocrity. The network had months to  prepare and consider and execute.  But even with all that time, it lacked the minimal talent necessary to produce a serious debate about important issues using new technology. All it could deliver was a carnival of bad taste, trick questions, and full frontal left wing bias.

I have to disagree respectfully.  There's a better explanation for the trouble that afflicts Anderson Cooper:  The Mole has infiltrated CNN.  If you think about the debates as an odd sort of reality TV show, it all starts to make sense.
