Anderson Cooper keeps letting Santorum spew lies without being challenged

[samsingh]

Anderson Cooper is useless. First he can't get to a question, he just rambles forever like a fool. Then he never challenges santorum's lies head on. Neither do his useless guests like Van Jones and David axolrod. Both of them sit their asses in their chairs shake their heads but NEVER say - stop lying santorum - show us proof there were voting problems from the Democrats. Show me where a Democrat openly asked Russians for help? The fraud santorum is where trump destroyed the post office, threatened voters, colluded with foreign countries.

1. I am never one to correct an OP..but, do you mean Santorum..n/t

[samsingh]

16. yes - my apologies

[Karadeniz]

2. Is this Joe Scarborough? Or who?

[Karadeniz]

3. Ah...I think the first reply answered my question. Yuck on Santorum!!!!

[samsingh]

27. Santorum - don't know what i was thinking when i typed the first name

[pwb]

4. Alrighty then

?

[samsingh]

28. i meant Santorum, sorry.

[lillypaddle]

5. I think you need to correct this immediately

I don't believe it was Joe Scarborough.

[CTyankee]

11. Jeez, I was wondering if I had lost it alluva sudden!

[lillypaddle]

13. Admins should have an alert section

for untrue posts. I'm guessing it was an honest mistake, but damn, Joe takes enough heat around here without blatantly false OPs.

[CTyankee]

17. For a second there, I thought I had lost my mind...that something happened between now and

when I watched Morning Joe. My Trumpie neighbor is losing it next door with strange plots cooked up by Dems to steal the election, his Facebook remarks make me wonder if he's totally round the bend. Then, this, here on my absolute favorite place to be with good Dems and....sheesh...

22. I agree, and almost PMed EarlG about this very thing

Maybe we should.

[lillypaddle]

24. Good idea

I'll send him a note, too.

ETA: sent him a DU mail.

[obamanut2012]

26. Yay!

[samsingh]

29. Santorum - don't know what i was thinking when i typed the first name

[SharonClark]

6. Any links or actual quotes?

[ShazzieB]

7. I second this request!

Even info on when and where this was on would help.

I've been googling like crazy and haven't anything that remotely matches.

[samsingh]

30. sorry, i meant Santorum on Cooper's show yesterday

[brush]

8. It's Santorum. He is such a douche and Anderson is letting him off the hook.

We need Brianna Keilar now. She wouldn't let him get away with that. Where is she, btw? She's been off for a few days now. Maybe having to use up vacation days?

[DeminPennswoods]

9. Santorum's a paid CNN contributor just like Axlerod

That's why he gets to talk.

[brush]

10. That's fine. Let him talk, but not spew untrue talking points unchallenged.

[CTyankee]

12. All the repuba have had 4 years of crazy talk. No wonder we're going a little bonkers...

[Shermann]

18. +1...They save the real hardball questions for the guests, not the token Republican contributors nt

[Bev54]

21. Cooper and Blitzer always swoop in

when they think there is a big story and bump all others off the air. I am sick of it and they are making a big deal over a regular process as it is. They all let Santorum spew garbage. I cannot even watch him, I turn if he is on and he is on several shows every day. CNN really needs to stop this bullshit, it is not
providing any proper debate, you cannot debate people who just spew lies constantly.

[tavernier]

14. Please correct your post.

You are saying quite ugly things about the wrong person.

[samsingh]

31. corrected

[czarjak]

15. The difference is razor thin between those two anyway.

[AmyStrange]

19. Here's the definition of "santorum" (WARNING: it's disgusting)

-

According to Dan Savage anyway:

(neologism, sex, slang) A frothy mixture of lubricant and fecal matter as an occasional byproduct of anal sex. [from 21st c.]

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/santorum#:~:text=santorum%20%28uncountable%29%20%28neologism%2C%20sex%2C%20slang%29%20A%20frothy%20mixture,matter%20as%20an%20occasional%20byproduct%20of%20anal%20sex.

20. Why is that parthetic loser and liar still given air time?

The media should have moved on years ago. This is why their credibility is so low.

[maxsolomon]

23. the power button is right there.

CNN and the "Legacy Media" have a quandry: you need to have Repukes on to perform objectivity, yet they are motormouth liars who run a Gish Gallop every time they are given air time.

so many lies packed in to so little space, there is literally no way to refute them all. it's a technique they have refined and are trained in.

Republicans ONLY act in bad faith, whether in government or in the media. they have no interest in a substantive debate; they are there to propagandize.

[samsingh]

25. its not about changing the channel - it's about protecting our Democracy

letting these repug assholes lie and define the narrative have brought us to a point where even decency like healthcare for all have the very people who would benefit crying socialism while the senators GET SOCIALIST medicine themselves.

and Anderson Cooper just sits there with a pained look on his face and can't do a fast follow up question if his miserable life depended on it.

[maxsolomon]

32. Could you? Even Cuomo struggles with it. Maher gets run over by them, too.

They don't want a debate or a conversation.
