Is Anderson Cooper Leaving CNN?
Anderson Cooper, the well-known journalist and anchor for CNN, may be considering leaving the network due to its recent rebranding efforts. Under the leadership of CEO Chris Licht, CNN has attempted to shift its image from being left-leaning to a more centrist news channel. This has caused discomfort among some of CNN’s longtime anchors and journalists, including Cooper.
Donald Trump’s Appearance on CNN Town Hall
CNN’s recent town hall featuring former President Donald Trump was a major source of controversy and discomfort for Anderson Cooper. The live audience was largely composed of Trump supporters, and the former President reportedly made a number of factual inaccuracies during the event. This departure from CNN’s usual journalistic rigor prompted outcry and demands for a boycott from many viewers.
Pressure on Anderson Cooper
Adding to Anderson Cooper’s discomfort is pressure from his own contacts and friends. Many reportedly criticized him for Trump’s appearance, even though he was not directly involved in producing the town hall. Now, sources say that he is considering leaving CNN altogether unless he is given greater control over the direction of the network’s coverage. Despite still being under contract, talks about an amicable split have reportedly already started.
