Jimmy Dore did a great segment today on the Anderson - Cornel West interview. As you write -it was a bloody disgrace. But not only because Anderson himself is as you say, a disgusting piece of crap CIA goon - as is Carville - some kind of Clintonian zombie vampire that keeps coming back from the dead -to suck whatever blood is left - on the left in American politics. But Dore also eviscerated West for being totally unprepared for the interview, and allowing Anderson to talk over him like some kind of high school principal. And Dore opened the segment by stating he was planning to vote for Cornel West, which actually came as a bit of a surprise to me - since after all the segments he's already done on JFK Jr. - one would think JFK was his guy. But no - Dore, at least before he began, said he was going to vote for Cornel.

But man - I had to agree with Dore after listening to how Cornel West handled the entire interview. It was at an amateur level of clarity and it was like watching a boxing match where Cornel just stood there while Anderson repeatedly punched him in the face - and at the end of the fight, Cornel then says "I love you brother." It was really a lost opportunity. Even though Cornel had all the facts on his side, by the end of the interview - it sounded more like he was the kooky leftie Anderson and the blood-sucking Carville did all they could to make him out to be. West has to step up his game - I suggest he watch Dore's excruciating examination of the interview. It was a doozy.

As despotism deepens it becomes more transparent, and every premise Cooper put forward was a lie. He is an "ambush" interviewer there to destroy the interviewee not gather the views of candidate. West was unwise to go on CNN as it is a totally discredited, pro-establishment propagandist. Cooper's assignment wasn't to interview him, it was to destroy him. Cooper destroys himself as a credible journalist. Fringe candidates should choose their interviews carefully as there are lots of hacks out there just like Cooper.
