Way to cheerlead, Frances. Unfortuantely, I missed it because I had an appoitnment to get bamboo shoved under my fingernails. BTW, how were the ratings, I didn’t see that in youir piece.

So, you didn’t watch the show but you’re ready to condemn it? Isn’t that kinda like what Eric Holder did to the Arizona immigration law?

I’m not condeming it, just don’t like Cooper. I’ll have to look though your archives and see if I can find any instances of you cheerleading a Fox show.

I watched it, and enjoyed the format, and Anderson was great like usually!

I only caught about 5 minutes of the show but the part I caught was about how racist 7 year-old white kids are against blacks. Or, in other words, a typical CNN craptacular. I can only assume the rest of the show was a laundry list of left-wing talking points. I love how media types pretend to portray CNN has “independent” or “fair” or “non-ideological”. Well, compared to the whackjobs at MSNBC, ok. But to pretend that CNN is suddenly not a left-wing network is sofa king we todd did.

Whether Michelle loved it or hated it, watched it or didn’t is immaterial to her observation about YOUR coverage.

Frances, you wrote a fawning cheer leading piece on the show, period! You didn’t have even a hint of any possible improvements b/c it seems you perceive it as perfection. That is not a critique but rather a rooting section.

Buycott Arizona. Visit the Great State of Arizona this year. I have planned a trip to Scottsdale for June. Scottsdale has some amazing resorts, great restaurants and shopping, a wild nightlife and some of the greatest golf courses on earth. They also have the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. Let’s support the Great State by spending money there. Vote out politicians who don’t support legal immigration and want to boycott this state. Business owners buy Arizona products!!!!

I liked it. It was something different. No screaming partisan hacks like what pollute the airwaves on Fox News and MSNBC. It was an enjoyable hour and with scattered, light, intelligent debate mixed in… if fighting, angry, self-indulging partisan hacks are your thing, go watch Fox or MSNBC.

American Cowboy,
I’ve already spent most of my vacation $$ for the year, but last night I was looking into going to AZ for the weekend, just to do a buycott. We were planning on the grand canyon next year, but I’d be happy to do it sooner just to help out AZ. Unfortunately, I already went to Disneyland and SD, so they already got my $$. (not to mention my purse which was stolen with my ipod, glasses, and soc sec cards). I had already decided not to go back to that state, but really won’t now.

I was surprised at how well the format works. The show was NOT BAD. ;-)

Frances is right: CNN just may be on to something.

And I swear to God, you neocons need to stop whining. If you THINK Frances is ideologically slanted, then go to RedSate or FOXnation where you can be among your own kind. Just look at MichelleF’s first post: she didn’t even bother to watch the program – yet she accuses Frances of “chearleading”. How about holding your tongue until you’ve actually watched the program?

It’s beyond ridiculous – get a grip…

@lonstar77 Way to miss the point of the experiment. This was a highly important study when it was first conducted in the 1940s because it was used as evidence in Brown v. The Board of Education. CNN commissioning an update to include white children is not “left-wing.”

However, they screwed up the coverage of it. There were two age groups, five and nine. We saw black children in both groups. We only saw white children in the younger age group. I’m wondering if a five year old is capable of thinking, “There is no answer to this question.” If you tell a five year old, “Show me the dumb child,” the child may think: “There must be a dumb child because the grown-up told me to show it…so I’m going to point to the one who doesn’t look like me.” I would have liked to see the reactions of the older white children to the questions. Of course, I recognize that you have to get the parents to sign a release form to have their kid appear on television at all, let alone international television, so maybe they were unable to get many parents to consent to that.

So I think the coverage of the experiment was slanted, and I’ll even buy that there was a left-wing slant to it. But to dismiss the entire experiment as “about how racist 7 year-old white kids are against blacks” is totally ridiculous. This is an important study. I wasn’t thrilled with the coverage of it but I’m glad they did it and I thought the commentary afterward was excellent.

Hey, Grammie–since this is the column section, I really don’t take issue with Ms. Martel saying that she liked the show and thought the show has potential. This is the opinion section and that was her opinion, so that’s fine. Also, other than the one critique that jumped out at me, I really think it’s too early to work out how I feel about the format. I haven’t absorbed it yet because I have only seen one.

I’ve been a 360 viewer for quite some time, so I need to see more of the new Friday format to form an opinion about it. I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it. We’ll see–I just hope they don’t expand it to the rest of the week and completely abandon the old format.

Sorry, “lonestar77.” Typo.

Toshiba2:

My dear, did ya hear the sad, sad, sad news?

The Wanda Sykes Show has been canceled by FOX.

Tsk, tsk- and you said just 2 weeks ago her ratings were fine.

LMAO!

Now we just have to wait for you and Wanda to scream, “Racism.”

ROTFLMFAO!

I did watch the show and lonestar77 is not far off. From The Doll Test to the “discussion” on the AZ illegal immigration law, the show was just more of Anderson’s campaign to demonize the white race. The Doll Test was obviously skewed to get the results that anti-white CNN wanted, that white people are more racist than blacks.

The test itself is racist by omitting Asian and Hispanic children and Dr. Margaret Beale Spencer, the woman CNN chose to “analyze” the results and Donna Brazile both sounded like bitter black women with an agenda. It was interesting to hear both of these women complain about stereotyping and how black children feel inferior to white children and how society must encourage blacks to have a positive self image. Maybe they should set a good example and stop straightening their hair.

No matter how much Anderson and CNN try to suggest that these white children are “racists”, the truth is children, like many people, identify most with those that look like them and there isn’t anything wrong with that as long as they don’t harm or discriminate against others that look differently. It was offensive for CNN to suggest such a thing, that somehow if you choose to be around people who look like you, you are a racist. It is just an aesthetic choice like who you choose to marry or have children with. We make those judgments on a daily basis, but we don’t think of it as discrimination. The same test could have been done using eye color or hair color and they would have gotten many of the same results. The children would prefer their own eye and hair color.

Most of the time these assumptions about race relations are made by rich sheltered people like Anderson who live in penthouses and were never forced to deal with the average black or Hispanic person on a daily basis and never had to compete with them for their jobs or a place in a school or college, so they are not qualified to make these types of judgments on the rest of society.

I watched the whole show and I can tell you that it was nothing new at all. It was the same old 360 diatribe and “panels” but sitting on a different set. That was the only “different” thing about it. It started off with the Doll Test and went for 30 minutes on that alone. That is exactly how 360 starts off any other night. Then they moved onto 20 more minutes of news with another panel, just as the regular 360 does. Shocker huh!?

Now someone tell me PLEASE how this was any different than any other 360? It wasn’t! It was the same old thing repackaged to look pretty. To top it off every subject that they talked about were the EXACT same subjects that were talked about ALL week long. And the Doll Test will be hounded all this week on there.

Wake up people. This is just CNN repackaging a crappy show and trying to make you think that it is something different. It is not!

@Knowledge_Is_Power, Except that Anderson was even more opinionated and left wing than usual and they paused for applause. I don’t understand why they needed the audience there in the first place. They even used the same old shot of the crew dancing to “Single Ladies” which I thought was in bad taste since it followed a supposedly serious discussion about the video of those scantily clad little girls bumping and grinding to the same song.

I did like the part where Anderson lost control of the discussion to John Leguizamo. What the hell was that guy talking about anyway? He was all over the place. It was a sloppy segment.

They will run the Doll Test crap into the ground for at least a week just like the birther BS.

However, it does give Anderson an excuse to have a four-day work week.

I thought Anderson Cooper’s new show was okay last night, given it was the first night, I’m willing to give him a chance. The premise was good, let’s see what he can do. On a side note, what in the hell is wrong with Mary Matlin’s face, did she have surgery that went bad? She looked much better before she did whatever she did!!

I was wondering how long you’d be able to keep a lid on the crazy, Libra Blue. “Demonize the white race” topped my wildest dreams, however, so gold star! ;-)

I was wondering how long it would take before Anderson’s crazy ass kissers would “respond” to my comments, but then it isn’t quite a response is it? I guess you have to resort to name calling when you cannot defend him with a good argument.

I always know I am right when that happens.

BTW, “Laurie Beth”, I see that you and your friends at ATA had to retract your “inside info” on Michael Ware!

I have no issue with admitting that I have no idea how to come up with a measured response to your fringe insanity, dear. If you choose to believe that Anderson Cooper and his cronies are on a mission to “demonize the white race,” that’s your prerogative.

And if you also choose to believe the ridiculous line that CNN PR put out about Michael Ware’s “leave of absence,” and that in his haste, silly Michael forgot to check the “PTSD” box on the form, otherwise there NEVER would have been ANY question about whether he’d be allowed to take a leave, then you go right ahead and do that. It must be nice in your world.

You don’t have a “measured response” because there is none. As Gil Grissom once said, “the evidence never lies.”

But then people like you don’t deal in “evidence” or facts, you are just there to stroke Anderson’s ego. . . “dear.”
