The CNN anchor?

yes

Uhmm... I would assume any rumor that Anderson Cooper has connections to the CIA to be conspiracy and folk myth.

well yeah

that's why I was thinking... they can't be thinking of the same person as me

I wouldn't doubt that CNN has had communications with the intelligence agencies and perhaps Anderson Cooper has had involvement but saying he has "connections" sounds like right wing trite.

looks like Luke Rudkowski of WeAreChange tried confronting him about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUfESBd8R-Q

very unproductively

i think the official story is that he was an intern or something

apparently there was something about him interacting with the CIA back in college, according to Luke

@Deleted User
If he was something, they wouldn't tell either

yeah

Luke goes off the rails too often, he sounds like a lunatic.

Yeah and he he takes two small bits of information - Cooper had some minor interaction with the CIA + Operation Mockingbird was a thing - to then extrapolate way too much.

Now, to be fair, being a good journalist does require a bit of presumption of guilt to actually dig up stories rather than assume there's nothing going on, but this is obviously far past that line.

🤦

nah, it's good.

especially for something less than six minutes on something so complicated

I used to buy 'organic' under the default assumption that was 'better'

But then you start to think "we are always modifying everything to make it better"

"we already modify ourselves to make ourselves better"

"hell, I used to live on a kiwifruit orchard where you would splice fruit in the hopes of growing better kiwifruit the next year"

crossbreeding horses that win races in order to breed a better horse

so on and on so on

the gmo problem is more 'big companies enslaving farmers by giving them seeds whose plants don't produce more seeds' than 'holy shit we're all gonna die'

Many people still seem to think we're going to mutate into the crippled version of the fuckin' X Men if we eat GMO foods
