ANDERSON COOPER: WE TOLD YA SO!

Back on May 14 we reported that Anderson Cooper was fed up with his gig on CNN after Donald Trump’s disastrous town hall. We revealed that Anderson was threatening to quit because he didn’t agree with the direction the newer CEO, Chris Licht was guiding the network. Plus Anderson wanted more control over programming. Anderson had some serious meetings with CNN and less than a month later he got his wish. Chris was terminated this week and our source says Anderson was given a private promotion. That means he has the same title, but now has more POWER to decide what airs.

ANDERSON COOPER IS EMBARRASSED BY TRUMP’S CNN FIASCO

Could Anderson Cooper be the next to exit CNN? The network’s newer CEO, Chris Licht, is rebranding the news channel from liberal to being more centrist -which explains why he featured disgraced presidential candidate Donald Trump on a recent Town Hall. Donald’s outrageous appearance was peppered with lie after lie (he does seem to lie about everything) and the live audience was stacked with his ill-mannered supporters. It was SO not typical for CNN, that many viewers are now calling for a boycott. Even some of Anderson’s well-connected friends gave him grief over Trump’s appearance (even though he had nothing to do with the show) so now he is rethinking his relationship with the network. Although Anderson is still under contract, behind closed doors, talks have started about an amicable split. My source says that unless Anderson is given more control over the network’s new direction he could be out the door.

ANDERSON COOPER IS INVESTIGATING SCIENTOLOGY AND TOMMY DAVIS DOESN’T LIKE IT

If you’ve been watching Anderson Cooper’s Scientology investigation on CNN, you might be wondering who this Tommy Davis person is who has assumed the role of spokesperson for Scientology. (Scientology leader David Miscavige has repeatedly refused to appear in person to defend the church – some say he is avoiding being served with a warrant.) Tommy happens to be the son of actress Anne Archer, a Scientologist for over thirty years. He was Scientology educated (which is very limited) and his family became so wealthy in real estate that he once said “I never have to work a day in my life.” Since the church is so heavily invested in real estate (with no property taxes!) we figure there’s a connection there. Anyway, Tommy’s former friends who left the church, actor Jason Beghe and director Paul Haggis, both called him a “liar” when David denied the existence of “disconnection” – the splitting up of families to shun critics of the church. In fact, it looks like he’s not telling the truth about a lot of things. Watch the final segment tonight or catch up on the CNN website.
