Anderson Cooper

As someone who sees lies, I also see good things, too. I see the truth, sincerity and honesty. I see people who have great integrity. I see others who would give everything off their back to help a friend in need. I see kind souls, untroubled by the burdens of society.

One person who has touched my world lately while watching TV is Andersen Cooper from CNN. He deserves accolades for his integrity. Cooper is a very ethical man who fights to keep integrity in journalism yet also shows us a more human side — which is a rare and unique balance not often seen today in news story reporting.

Cooper isn’t afraid to show his emotions when he reports news for CNN. He is a genuine, caring and kind man. He is a special man — that truly stands above — even outside of his professional career.

I bet if you could get Cooper’s friends to talk about him, they would tell you he has a great sense of humor, is fun to be around, and he will try just about anything once — but they also would tell you that he is a big, compassionate, empathic person — with a huge heart — who cares about the people in his life deeply. Cooper cares about humanity — and doesn’t take other people’s feelings and emotions lightly. He doesn’t put on a TV face to report the news. He is himself, to the core.

If I was in a situation where I had to put my life in Cooper’s hands to survive — I wouldn’t even blink an eye in fear. I’d know hands-down that Cooper would do the very best he could. He is a deeply trustworthy and honorable man.
