Digging Deeper-Daniel Kopans and Kimberly Gregory
Mammogram Controversy.  The US Preventive Services Task Force has changed the regulations for mammograms.   Kopans, who started his segment by tooting his own horn, thinks that that the change, which suggest reducing the number of screenings, is too risky.  Gregory, rocking some sweet yellow glasses, was quite capable at reciting [...]

Carrie Prejean on Larry King, “Young women can learn from my mistakes.”  This was after she refused to take a phone call because of a deal that Larry King supposedly had with her “publicist.”  Poor Larry King.  He kept stretching for good questions, but Carrie kept shooting out lame answers, but at least she looked [...]

Motives for Murder – Drew Griffin
The first family was in Fort Hood today for the memorial service.  About the killer, Obama said that no faith justifies murderous acts.
 
 
 
The question is whether or not this is an individual act of violence or a jihadist terror attack.  According to a federal source, most terrorists hide their religion [...]

What better way to get ready for AC than listening to Larry King serenade the voluptuous Mariah Carey?

Raw Politics – Tom Foreman
Nancy Pelosi claimed that last night was a win for the Democratic Party, clearly focusing on the house election in northern New York.  Michael Steele, on the other hand, hailed [...]

It’s a special election night show, but there’s a few non-political items on the agenda (I hope).  On another note, my video is back!!
New York – District 23
John King is at the big wall showing Virginia.  It’s a red sea unlike in 2008 when Barack  Obama fared reasonably well there.  The question is: could this [...]

John King sitting in again.  Having trouble with my audio, so no videos today.  Sorry.  In fact, the whole entry is rather skint.  Not a great deal to talk about, I guess.
Keeping them Honest – Drew Griffin
John King was at the Big Wall within 1 minute of the show opening.  He was talking about the [...]

Breaking News – Gary Tuchman
James Arthur Ray is still on CNN.  Danielle and John, two former Ray followers, gave details of their experience in the sweat lodge.  This was a quick intro segment that got pushed down the agenda [...]

I thought I would title this one, “24 minutes of balloon boy, and some other news,” but I decided to stick with convention.
Breaking News
Balloon boy.  AC called the dirigible a love child of a helium balloon and a jiffy pop.  Richard Heene, Falcon’s dad, from Wife Swap, seemed genuinely concerned about his son’s welfare and [...]

Wow, Ben Stein and Arianna Huffington were on Larry King tonight.  Whoa.  Their conversation ran the gamut and they mostly agreed lamely.
A sleepy AC360 tonight.  Literally, I zonked out for a few minutes in the middle.  Just not enough news, I guess.  Looks like Chicago is all but forgotten and nobody is playing their race [...]

AC360 10 10 09: GOP Jealous, Inspiring Others Matters, and it’s never easy to be popular in France? ?

Welcome to the daily AC360 recap. News Machine here. (Strange name I know)
First off explanation of the title: The jealous part you get, the “it’s never easy to be popular in France” was a mistake made by Fareed Zakaria when speaking to Anderson Cooper about President Obama’s Nobel Prize win. I think he meant to [...]

Anderson is back in New York after yesterday’s great show in Chicago.  Daytime TV watchers will want to check in with Regis and Kelly tomorrow, as AC will be on!

Special from Chicago

Anderson reported from the exact site where Derrion Albert was beaten to death.  The memorial of stuffed animals and wilted flowers still limps along now, days after the murder.  Ninety-four kids have been killed in Chicago in the two years since Anderson was last in Chicago.
Arne Duncan visited Chicago today, saying that something has to [...]

Heated Debate: “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”…Thanks Anderson

Lots of debating concerning the segment below. I heard lots of people say they did not like Anderson’s style of moderating the discussion. Listen to it to know what I’m talking about. It’s late at night and I don’t have the energy to give you all the tiny details. Or just see last night’s AC369 [...]

Back in the saddle again with Anderson Cooper.
Keeping Them Honest
Senator John Ensign, admitting an affair.  I’m getting sick of political affairs!
In June, the senator admitted that he’d had an affair with a staffer.  Ensign is alleged to have helped his mistress’s husband, Doug Hampton, find a job as a cover-up.
Dana Bash reported that the senator [...]

Still not covering Today’s AC360: So Photo & Video news

Still not feeling well even getting worse actually. Laying on my bed with my Vaio and drinking fluids like crazy in hopes that I get better soon. Was too ill & weak to go the doctor…someone wanted to take me with his car but I don’t feel the energy to get dressed. I have tons of work [...]

Not Covering Last Friday

Sorry guys but I’ve been in bed for the past 3 days. Coughing, swollen eyes, weak, sore muscles, headaches. Who gave this to me? I’m going to the doctor on Monday again. Me typing this is a real miracle and I just need all my energy to just drag my fingers through the keyboard.
I had all [...]

This is what Anderson Cooper’s Official Site Looks like…

Loads of readers mistook us, ACTJ, for Anderson Cooper. Although we’re really flattered (no really), we all know that Anderson Cooper’s only official site is AC360. That’s how it looks like. See below.

Many apologies if I come across as a bit snarky tonight.  I’m really exhausted.  It’s a good thing I’m not blogging the Heroes show.

Back in close-up at the top of the show, Anderson is still at least previewing most of the segments.  It must be lonely in that little box.
Sorry about the shortage of photos/video tonight.  My recorder had a bit of a glitch and I didn’t get to record the whole show.

Don’t miss AC360 tonight…

The website AC360 has this as a lead story (see below), it will probably be covered in more depth tonight. If you have any interest in this at all, be sure to watch Anderson Cooper 360 at 10 pm EST on CNN:
“An epidemic of violence
Four teenagers have been charged with the murder of Derrion Albert, [...]

I also find the new opening format refreshing.  I noticed it on American Morning, too.  The show opened with Anderson Cooper standing and providing a preview of what was coming on the show.  It certainly made getting this review ready that much easier.  Maybe people felt that the show was a bit too rushed.

Sickening: AC360 Monday 09 28 09

Welcome to the daily AC360 review and summary
I love the way AC360 opened up today. Anderson Cooper  stood next to a giant screen announcing the different segments of the night with images of stories on screen. It was well labeled and clear to understand. I don’t know if this is new or if they have done [...]
