As Frank Ross writes at Big Journalism, along with video of Cooper doing his damndest to keep the viewer at home — maybe two or three if CNN is having a good night — entertained:

And folks at CNN wonder why their ratings are rock-bottom: with obtuse and belligerent anchors like Anderson Cooper wrapped around their necks, where else could they be?

Note the references to Foucault and Derrida that flow so trippingly from Michael Eric Dyson’s tongue — standard leftist deconstructionist blather.
