This guy - who could barely keep his contempt and disdain towards Anderson Cooper in check - had two quotes from two different reporters attacking Moore's accusers - and then denies it and says it's out of context.

Cooper was flabbergasted, to put it mildly.

I had to turn it off. Reporters should be prepared for this bullshit by now. For the life of me, I can't figure out why reporters let these assholes run roughshod over them. They let them jabber on, spewing talking point after talking point, all the while about the best they can muster is "Yes, but..." before the blowhard starts up again. I'm not sure this sorry excuse for a man ever shut up and let Cooper say anything in the 3 or 4 minutes I forced myself to watch. I'm just waiting for the accusations to start flying about him. Because you know he thinks this behavior is really no big problem, and the women who have come out about Moore were all sluts and it was all their fault.

Is it always about ratings?

And have Republicans gone soft on child sexual crimes, general sexual crimes, as well as predatory behavior?

Though MSNBC has also had some real creeps lately, too, but it has been encouraging that they do have long time Republicans who have been speaking out against Trump, as well. How anyone can defend him at this point is totally beyond me...
