look at that photo! Now I'm totally convinced he's really an Alien Grey.

Anderson Cooper, straight or gay, on HDTV or not, looks fine to me. I have CNN HD and Anderson looks great. It all has to do with the correct lighting. Besides who wants a perfect man? LOL Just kidding!
On the other hand, I hope Bill Schneider doesn't don a Santa cap and do a political commentary like he did years ago. That in itself was funny enough to look at, but in addition, he had a booger hanging from one nostril. Now, how about seeing that spectacle in HiDef! I still can't watch the guy, whom I know is very smart and well educated without remembering that broadcast. A newsman/woman's worst nighmare!

Finally the pot met the kettle !

As an openly gay man, I just don't trust closeted homosexuals like Anderson Cooper.

hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

there's only a few news commentators worth listening of the msm and i listen, i don't have to watch. of the others, they aren't worth listening to, so i could give a hoot whether their waxy pores are blown up to the size of the grand canyon or not.

Cable news sucks. Cable TV rat bastards suck with their high charges. Congress lets these pussies get away with murder. Jack Out.

REPUKES IN 1994 ROLLED BACK ALL CONTROLS OF CABLE TV AND THAT IS WHY EVERY 5 MINUTES WE HAVE COMMERCIALS AND WHOLE CHANNELS WITH NOTHING PUT PAID PROGRAMMING OR INFOMERCIALS. THEY GRATITUDE OF THESE COMPANIES IS WHAT KEEPS REPUKES WINNING ELECTIONS. WE NEED TO ROLL BACK THE COMMERCIALS WE ARE PAYING THROUGH THE NOSE FOR. THERE IS NOTHING BUT SPORTS AND COMMERCIALS ON AFTER 2:00AM UNTIL AT LEAST 5:00AM AND EVEN THEN SOME CHANNELS DON'T START PROGRAMS UNTIL 2:00PM. NO WONDER AMERICANS ARE BROKE AND THE ECONOMY SUCKS.

Promoting media hosts to celebrity status has the sad outcome of diminishing the power of the first amendment.
Ohg.

Until just recently American TV had the NTSC broadcast standar (Never the same color).

It sucked with less lines of resolution. It was quite obvious 20 years ago when going back and forth to Europe and Asia which has the PAL system with more lines of resolution.

We have had widescreen format here in Europe for over 10 years now (CRT) and I am amazed that American hotels still have the square boxes.

The programming sucks also in the USA. All that Pravda crap to keep your brain filled with bullshit.

Television is crap. That's why the internet
has become so popular. It's as simple as that.
High definition crap is still....crap.
Any chance of bringing back the original
Road Runner cartoons, or news-flavored news?
I don't want to see their skin pores, either,
but you could fix that if you moved the
camera back a couple of feet...

It's because it's crap that's why - not because of the amount of light - it works better in low light to be honest. HD is high def video - an example of the tail wagging the dog, a move in the wrong direction. Another corporate decision - shoot film and digitalize, silly!

Let them wear paper bags over their heads.

This is why I listen to Democracy Now instead of waste one precious moment on Anderson Cooper's CorporateNewsNetwork.

Dear Anchorperson,
Your job is to deliver the news. That's it. I could give a flying monkey crap what you look like; just read the prompter, clearly enunciate, and make eye contact with the camera. Your clothes, your hair, your makeup -- all are completely and utterly incidental, as are you. Your job is just to deliver the news.
