Janet Charlton makes up most of her stories. Most are not corroborated or sourced in any way. And bizarrly, way too many of them involve Anderson Cooper. I wouldn't trust her 'reporting'.

Coop would never do it

Why would anyone think Cooper would play second fiddle on an already troubled show, when he's had his own for three years CNN.(The most trusted name in news)

Is it possible that Katie needs everyone to get off her back for awhile? Good grief, how can you expect someone to succeed when they know you're expecting them to fail?

Maybe the problem isn't Katie. Maybe it goes a little further up the ladder. They should never have sent her to Iraq when they did. Bad, bad, timing. I know it, why didn't they? Next time, don't wait until everyone else has returned.

Maggie has some good points - I was wondering the same thing about maybe the problem does go up the ladder.

Maggie needs to check the ratings for 360. They aren't that good. He only draws around 620,000 on a good night with no breaking news. After all the over the top promotion, advertising and other things they had him do to bring in viewers, that's not much. The numbers should be much higher. Yes you can think he'd be second fiddle to Katie but at least there would be 6,000,000 people watching instead of 10% of that.

Yes he has his own show but even his fans hate it. They don't have a set focus for the show, it's all over the place. Thank God they got rid of the second hour, it was silly to have repeats and spread an hour show over 2 hours.

Maggie and others need to be realistic.

Most people hate to hear the truth tho.

Dear Anon,

You're correct, there are problems. Dumping some of the celeb junk would help. So would staying in the studio a greater percentage of the time. But you see, that isn't the way Cooper works. Never was, probably never will be. Too bad celeb can bring in better ratings than news of our world and those who live in it.

Those who complain? Gosh, you mean you read those blogs? Oh, it's okay if they complain, they have a right to voice their opinion. I think the blogs must be the only excitement they get. Are you one of those commenters?

BTW ~ Everyone else signed off with a name. When you cut somebody down the way you tried to do to me, you should be brave enough to put your name to it!

Relax, Enjoy Life

Maggie
