The young, coolness factor of Anderson Cooper

In case you didn't know, CNN hails Anderson Cooper as the reporter who covers all of the young people, the one they turn to in hopes of building the ratings for CNN in the younger demographic. You know that demographic. The young kids attending college with the endless streams of disposable cash.

Well, I have some bad news for CNN and Anderson Cooper. None of my students have ever heard of him. They don't consider him OR CNN to be cool. To be even more significant, they didn't really find ANY news to be cool, unless they knew there was something happening that required them to follow the news.

So, what is a CNN icon like Anderson to do? Who cares? I just find it hilarious, as it was brought up by one of my students, that no one knows, cares or feels passionate in any way about Anderson Cooper.

Stumble It!
