There were a couple on interesting tidbits buried in the Washington Post’s Lisa de Moraes’ "On TV" online chat today... her take on the TCA walkout during Fox News chief Roger Ailes' speech, and her reax to "Cooper fatigue."
Q: Washington, D.C.: Were you one of the critics who heckled/walked out on Roger Ailes?
A: Lisa de Moraes: No. I was there for his entire session and Ailes was not heckled and I did not see anyone walk out on him....I heard that there was one critic who said he was declining to attend, but that's it...But you know critics -- vivid imaginations...
Q: Cooper-ed out:
...Can you make Anderson Cooper go away, please? Way too self-absorbed in his "I'm a journalist, look at me show how much I care" mode. He admitted last night CNN has a still photographer following him around last night as he reports from Lebanon, just so we can Anderson look pensive, Anderson look world-weary, etc. He needs to go bye-bye back to the Park Avenue penthouse, please. Thank you.
A: Lisa de Moraes: ah, but Anderson Cooper serves a purpose. Without Anderson Cooper we would not fully appreciate the work of, say, reporter Nic Robertson, or show anchor Brian Williams, for example. It helps to have that that point of comparison...that and he's so darned cute...
