Anderson Cooper 360°

This show constantly tries to create hate against the POTUS. This show is biased and unfortunately radically left.

Anderson may be a great person. But a television speaker he is not. Every evening there is something he says that I cannot understand. He rushes the words together and mumbles. I cringe when I hear he is about to do an interview. It seems he may not prepare questions in advance, or he veers away from any he has prepared. He seldom states a complete, succinct sentence. His questions have a lingering, distant quality that are difinitive. He certainly looks the part, however, the performance is what is lacking. I see why they have cut his show down from two hours. It is a shame that through the weekday evening there is not a concise, varied real news show on CNN....not opinion. Yes....on CNN Mr. Mumbles he is. But I heard him on 60 Minutes the other night and WOW....he was clear and his annunciation was ok. I had to do a double take to see if that was him.

Bottom line: he just needs to work harder at CNN. Prepare more, be more sussinct and clear...."channel Walter Cronkite ", don't giggle, amnunciate.

Anderson Cooper is definitely not a radical leftist - greetings from Europe. Instead of dealing with such an analysis-free "thesis", one should just take a look at how Cooper deals with topics in a journalistic way: Sometimes he deals astutely with topics that either nobody else takes up or he questions circulating media discourses quite well. On the other hand, Cooper quickly jumps on a moving train when it comes to certain issues without questioning whether he should even take any of the train connections for this issue. So it is understandable that supporters of the former President of the USA Donald Trump are not too happy with Cooper, but that all of his reporting with the reckless mistakes and / or deliberate misjudgments regarding the Trump issue is unreflected and at least just as negligent. Anderson Cooper was also working journalistically with a hit and miss mission at Trump, but he should be credited with the fact that he was most likely to be able to question mistakes that he himself made in his journalistic work.

Back in the day, my first impression of Anderson was he had no idea how to structure an interview or how to ask questions.

He always seemed reluctant to ask follow up questions and push the conversation.

His speech also trails off as he approaches the end of a sentence or question.

Questions should NOT be speeches. You will lose your audience and cause the interviewee to become more defensive and cautious Speaking, whether in front of a live audience or a live microphone is ALL about maintaining tone, sound modulation and breathing. Anderson has yet to learn that. He mumbles ALOT. Voiceis a problem with most of the talking heads on TV. They ALL need voice coaches, and off screen practice.

Anderson Cooper 360 is a decent show but not a great one. When its at its best, its does an insightful and entertaining take on the news. Kind of like a "Behind the scenes" look at the news; showing why, how, and where it happened they way it did. At its worst, it painfully showcases Anderson Cooper seemingly amateur anchor skills. Don't get me wrong, Cooper is an excellent field reporter and a more than capable journalist. But put him in a studio and drape him in a nice suit, he loses his "it" factor.

He's young and ambitious. So, I have little doubt that he will find his anchoring voice evidently. He's far more than just a pretty face. If anything, I see Anderson Cooper 360 as less of a show but more of a training ground for Cooper to fine tune himself to an excellent anchorman.Its far more entertaining to watch if you view it in this matter.It makes his occasional goofs, mistakes, and misses more endearing than annoying and when he gets it right, you could easily picture him as a future network news star. For that reason alone, he's show is worth watching occasionally but certainly not a must see every single day. Unless, you think Anderson is just that good-looking.
