I don't mind Cooper tooooo much as him being a CNNer and all, but not sure if what he does is really for his job and the camera or his kind heartedness, both, dunno.

If he really wanted to report on the poverty in Haiti I wish he would talk about background stories (which he might have and I missed but its very unlikely as corporate media does not want to talk about this) like US government subsizdized cheap food being dumped there and putting farmers out of business because they can't compete. the US has contributed to the hard times of the Haitians. Now if he carried around a wounded child AND did some REAL reporting, I could like him more.

Amanpour had a guest on that brought this up, but she ignored him like he didn't say anything and went onto something else.
