She always seems to think she has these aggressive gotcha questions but she doesn’t nail it. She interviewed JD Vance a few days ago — he is a truly terrible human but she made him look articulate and eespectful. She kept cutting him off with these questions that didn’t prove her point (and query whether a journalist should be trying so hard to make a specific point).
I like Abby P but I’m worried she was promoted too high too fast—she needs to build her legs a little more. Anderson is by far their best and he came up the old fashioned way (with money and connections — no just kidding, by doing crap on-location assignments and developing stories by talking to real people like he did with hurricane katrina—although I’m sure the money and connections didn’t hurt).
I used to wake up and watch TV when I had insomnia and I would watch a news show that was on at about 2:00 am. There were two anchors and one of them was Anderson Cooper. I remember thinking he was so good and would be a star. That was about 30 years ago. I don’t remember the station, if it was CNN. He is a good anchor and a good interviewer.
