The article discusses a recent on-air confrontation between CNN hosts Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo, triggered by Cooper's remarks to former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. During a discussion about Elon Musk's actions as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Cooper accused Sununu of misquoting him. His phrase, "Don't be a dick," led to a brief apology at the segment's end. Cuomo later weighed in, criticizing Cooper's demeanor and how it reflected on CNN, emphasizing that Cooper's response aligned with a trend towards combative discourse in media.
Don't put words in my mouth, Cooper said. Don't be a dick.
I was mean, I was rude to you,
Sure, [Sununu] had brothers, but it also made Coop look like a fool, right?
Look, I believe Anderson Cooper is the best in the business. And when he surrenders to this ugliness, you know things are out of hand.
