Internet Reacts
P
I am surprised it took him this long. Probably a contract thing.
B
I’m guessing it’s more of a Larry Ellison thing. Trump’s fellow 80-year-old BFF.
N
I think they’re saying Cooper’s contract kept him from exiting sooner.
H
With CBS or CIA?
B
Move the show to CNN. Add a minute and call it “61 Minutes”
G
Add 6 more minutes then it could be the 67 Minutes!
B
Or add 9 minutes and getting EVERYONE curious.
O
Move it to pornhub and call it 69 minutes
S
That’s one way to bring in a younger audience.
N
Kamala taking notes. “Six-Seven! We did it Joe!”
I
Paramount may win the negotiation and take over cnn next.
B
CNN would probably ruin it by making it 58 minutes of washed up politicians and political consultants shouting at each other about which side this helps in the next election.
O
CNN was always purchased by a Trump supporter before CBS was
M
It’s like you’re dreaming about Gorgonzola cheese, when it’s clearly Brie time baby
F
Gotta go full price is right and call it “1 minute”
W
Then the show would go over an hour. I say call the show the actual length minus the commercials. This… is “43 Minutes”
T
I just don’t have that kind of time. Sorry. I gotta go work on my 6 minute abs.
L
Call it “not 60 Minutes 😉”
F
Go to Fox, call it the Power Hour.
O
I can’t watch it ever again until Trump releases his grip on their testes
C
Even then. They lost me forever.
E
Yep. CNN is done. Why people watch it is beyond me. I could recommend 100 different pods that smoke CNN on their worst day
C
Cable news is mainly opinion journalism. There is a difference between opinion journalism and journalism. Most can’t tell the difference
G
Even then, the constant editorializing would be much more tolerable if it wasn’t shallow, inane, *terrible* editorializing planted firmly within an extremely narrow Overton window.
M
As of now I’m there for the Kaitlyn Collins vs Karolyn levitt matches.. also I like seeing who can push Abby Philip to the point where she wanna whoop ass. She rarely get the annoyed eye twitch but when she does she bout to go nuclear in her calm style. But for news na I’ll pass on that.
T
So do you have a crush on Kaitlyn, or Karolyn? I won’t tell anybody. Or do you just have a thing for girls names that start with K and end with -lyn?
M
Na it’s the utter contempt you could tell they have for each other makes for good highlights.
T
Well, I would go with Kaitlyn obviously
W
Anderson Cooper isn’t leaving CNN
S
The Ellisons own it now. It won’t ever be the same.
T
Same. Ruined it for me.
L
This is why Anderson is leaving, the wrong man has his grip on his testes
T
You sound like a potential h
E
the old CBS will never be back
V
I don’t watch CBS for news at all. Only for sports and maybe award show
T
Probably shouldnt watch it every again as punishment for letting him. Dont help their ratings ever.
S
well, thanks to new ownership, CBS today gladly strangles their own balls
F
I remember watching him in the 90s on Channel One educational news. Time flies.
M
lol me too, with Lisa ling. What a joke of a program. “Hey schools! We will give you a crappy tv if we can pump mt dew commercials in there at 8am everyday!”
F
Haha absolutely. You got mtn dew commercials? It was non stop clearasil for acne commercials in my high school.
R
Oh god. That add for Pepsi One drove me bananas.
P
Me too!
O
I named by 20 year old son after him.
S
Omg that was him? I never realized that.
S
Maria Menounos too, iirc.
B
WOW! I had completely forgotten about watching channel 1 news in school. Talk about a blast from the past lol
B
I’m so happy to see someone else mention this. I had such a crush on him then because teenage me didn’t have gaydar yet.

> Anderson Cooper is poised to exit CBS News‘ “60 Minutes” after nearly 20 years of contributing to the program, according to a person familiar with his thinking, the latest blow to the revered Sunday-night newsmagazine after it has been undermined repeatedly by management at Paramount Skydance and its predecessor company. > CBS News was unable to make executives available for immediate comment. Cooper was said to be in negotiations with CBS about a renewal in recent weeks, but opted to put more of his focus on activities at CNN. In addition to his long-running 8 p.m. program at the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed network, Cooper also hosts a podcast centered around discussions of grief that has become increasingly popular, and hosts a Sunday longform programed called “The Whole Story.”
A
Increasingly popular discussions of grief might well be in my head today. I mean, what?
R
I understood it as his podcast has become increasingly popular. I suppose the theme would technically be increasingly popular as well, but there’s certainly a distinction to be made. Or I’m the one misunderstanding and your interpretation is correct lol.
