Reformatted Awards sect, with additions of citations. However, was unable to find the year of award for two awards - if anyone can find some more WP:RS sources on those 2, please help. Thank you, -- Cirt (talk) 22:36, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Chilean descent?

He's indicated as "American of Chilean Descent in categories, but there's no information about it. Also he doesn't look like a chilean descent, which doesn't mean he isn't, but none of his parents is a descendant of Chileans, therefore he neither is. 186.104.67.109 (talk) 05:26, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

As a member of the Vanderbilt Family, he would be of Dutch descent. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 01:11, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


Cooper is an English name, so he may have some English heritage too.

Surname isn't always a good indicator of ethnicity. —Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 10:15, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Religous views

Does anyone know if Anderson Cooper practices a religion, or if he was raised in a certain religion? I know that the Vanderbilt Family, which he is a member of, is mostly Episcopalian.. however his mother (Gloria Vanderbilt) was baptised a Roman Catholic, and his grandmother on his mother's side was a Roman Catholic. Was he raised Catholic? --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 20:52, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Wrong father?

Why does Anderson Cooper, said in this article to be a child of Gloria Vanderbilt and Leopold Stokowski, have the last name "Cooper," especially given that Gloria divorced Leopold in 1955, and Cooper was born during Gloria's marriage to Wyatt Emory Cooper in 1967? 98.246.191.164 (talk) 19:29, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

I can not find any place in the article where it says he is the child of Leopold Stokowski. It does say that he has 2 older half brothers from that marriage. ~~ GB fan ~~ 02:54, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
You're right, I scrolled down to "personal life," where parents are usually listed, and it just said he had brothers from his mother's marriage to Stokowski, and I thought it was saying he was a product of that marriage. But it turns out that the fourth sentence of the article says who his father is. Nevermind. 98.246.191.164 (talk) 19:54, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Political Viewpoint

CNN's general political viewpoint is no mystery, so the article should, for the sake of completeness, have some content relating to Anderson Cooper's political opinions. This is all the more true because viewers of Fox and MSNBC and CNN and NBC and CBS know very well what political viewpoint they are receiving.

Find a reliable third party source that analyzes his positions and stands and you can fix it! Active Banana (bananaphone 18:26, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Re: "viewers of Fox and MSNBC and CNN and NBC and CBS know..." – I'm actually very skeptical that this is really true of the average viewer. The fact that Cooper's bounced around from network to network doesn't help, either. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 22:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Telling the truth doesn't have a "political viewpoint." Go back to FNC if you want people's sensationalized and biased opinions based on fear and misunderstanding of basic concepts. 174.58.137.241 (talk) 05:34, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Of course it has a political viewpoint, like everything else in life. Reporting facts and telling the truth are human actions, subjective and mediated by the brain and our personalities, in response to neutral, objective occurrences in the world around us; they are not those occurrences themselves, only our interpretations of them. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 22:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I don't think a section about Cooper's political viewpoints is necessary because Cooper is a news reporter, not a political commentator and thus his political viewpoints are not commonly stated and may not even be publicly known. It is Anderson Cooper 360 is a news show, not a personality-driven show revolving around the opinion of the host, like The O'Reilly Factor for example. I will admit, it is kind of frightening to think that the average person is unable to tell the difference between a reporter and a commentator; maybe thats why the American news media and political climate is the travesty it is. 75.118.250.122 (talk) 20:37, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Some reliably sourced information on Cooper's politics would be quite relevant her (and is a common feature in articles on other marjor journalists). The idea that his politics are not relevant here because he's just a reporter of facts and doesn't express political viewpoints is totally absurd, not only by what what he's quoted as saying about his role vs. old-school reporters putting on a pseudo-neutral, pseudo-omniscient front, and from any view of his recent coverage of and commentary on what's happening in Tripoli, on AC 360. He has, in fact, a very outspoken position about that entire political situation, and about the U.S. response to it, and so on. I never watched his early stuff, but this is quite typical of 360, which has always struck me as a quite political and personal show, especially compared to the rote recitation of teleprompters that usually passes for "news" these days. The book of his that I skimmed also seemed plenty political. Anyone in his line of work who claims to be completely neutral and apolitical is full of it. And Cooper does not. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 22:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I could care less about his sexual orientation but denying that AC: 1. Just a straight-up reporter, and not also a commentator, are clearly false as he has his own interview show 2. He has a liberal bias from the softballs he throws Democrats interviewers and gets argumentative and spins peoples statements for Republicans is clearly biased to the left.

No different than other reporters on WIki he should have a "Political views and public perception" section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.116.147.173 (talk) 00:31, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Cooper announces he's gay

Cooper, in an email to blogger Andrew Sullivan (reprinted with permission) has for the first time publicly stated that he is gay:

http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2012/07/anderson-cooper-the-fact-is-im-gay.html

"The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.98.161.187 (talk) 15:15, 2 July 2012 (UTC)


  • It's a bit incongruous that the article blabs on about how openly gay he's been (from 2007, no less), when WP wouldn't, couldn't, say so until today. He was out as of then; since, no one apparently had reliable sources prior to then - recasting the past to reconstruct the present is pure synthesis. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 04:01, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
    • You've misread the article; it does not say that he's "been" openly gay, only that he "is", and cites a direct quote from the NYT. A second source from 2007 asserted that he's gay, but did not say "openly". -- 70.109.45.74 (talk) 04:26, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Education

It is postulated that "At age 17, during the second semester of his senior year, Cooper went to southern Africa in a "13-ton British Army truck." He contracted malaria on the trip and required hospitalization in Kenya." Now "Southern Africa" is regarded by Wikipedia as being Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, Swaziland and Namibia. Kenia never was and never will be in southern Africa. Please edit to correct! ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by ElleZinsser (talk • contribs) 19:16, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

I reworded it with the help of a blog by the author of the Men's Journal (the MJ isn't accessible online). Even as it was worded before, it doesn't follow that just because he was hospitalized in Kenya he went only to Kenya. Apparently, he traveled throughout Africa, and it's not particularly important which countries he went to. It was too detailed before, and even now, in my view, it's still too detailed, but it should be reasonably source-compliant. I'm accepting the final quote based on the source I can't access.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:56, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

edit request: boyfriend/fiance/ex?

The article currently contains the phrase that he has stated his intention to marry his boyfriend, and that paragraph cites a Daily Mail article. But here is a newer Daily Mail article that states that he has never discussed being gay, and this article reports that he and his boyfriend are now on the rocks. Since there is a discrepancy, and since the current state of affairs in in flux, seems to me the article should mention less about the whole thing... "boyfriend breakups" isn't really all that important an issue in general regardless of gender preference. 96.224.32.111 (talk) 18:37, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

And here's an even more recent indication that they're still together: http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-08-21/news/33307282_1_ben-maisani-anderson-cooper-mystery-man . The National Enquirer and Daily Mail are not the best sources, but your point is well taken that the boyfriend info in this Wikipedia article should be rethunk. None of it is firsthand, direct quoting of Cooper, and it should be. When he has gone on the record about his intention to marry his boyfriend? If he has, I haven't seen it and the link should be in the article, not just the unnamed sourcing that's there now. Moncrief (talk) 04:33, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

April 2016 - New book and subject of HBO documentary

On April 5, 2016, HarperCollins Publishers released a new book by Ms. Vanderbilt and her son Anderson Cooper, "The Rainbow Comes and Goes - A Mother and Son On Life, Love, and Loss". The book is described as "A charming and intimate collection of correspondence between #1 New York Times bestselling author Anderson Cooper and his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, that offers timeless wisdom and a revealing glimpse into their lives."[2]

Also, on April 9, 2016, HBO premiered "Nothing Left Unsaid: Gloria Vanderbilt & Anderson Cooper", a 2 hour documentary that features a series of conversations between the mother and son, covering the mothers storied life and the family history in the public eye.[3] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:402:4300:57FF:A828:B267:8545:445A (talk) 01:35, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

The following sentence is not supported by the links provided:

During college, Cooper spent two summers as an intern at the Central Intelligence Agency. Although he has no formal journalistic education, he opted to pursue a career in journalism rather than stay with the agency after school,[11][12] having been a self-proclaimed "news junkie since [he] was in utero."[13]

Simply because he interned somewhere does not mean he opted out of a CIA career. The way it is written implies a linear progression. He did this but decided to this instead. A more neutral entry would be:

Hello, I have received training on suicide awareness prevention and one of the key things that I have been taught is that we do not say 'committed suicide' as this implies that someone has broken the law so the phrase is judgemental.

ABC World News Now

I would love to hear an account by Anderson of his days on WNN. I can recall, I think, his first night on WNN which was very much a toung-in-cheek presentation of real news. (see "World News Polka" for confirmation) Anderson seemed somewhat uncomfortable on this show. I don't recall much more, but I do recall him being uncomfortable, and carrying on on this show.

In 2014, Apple CEO Tim Cook, before making the decision to publicly come out as gay, sought Cooper's advise.

The grammar needs checking, this example caught my eye. advise (verb) advice (noun) 2A02:8309:2183:7800:55A6:B09:E108:1C86 (talk) 07:48, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Died by Suicide not "committed"

Carter Cooper died BY suicide. To say he "committed suicide" stigmatizes someone who was clearly in a lot of pain and anguish. Someone needs to update this. 2601:241:8100:B3:929A:A19F:9330:2C9A (talk) 00:38, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Suicide in most every situation involves anguish or pain. This alteration is pointless.
