Dear Mr. Anderson Cooper,

Please discontinue sensationalizing the news and simply report it. In your coverage of Presidents Obama and Chavez' meeting, descriptors such as "enemies" and 'raising eyebrows" immediately portrays a tone of bias not conducive to needed change. You report the news, now please do this.

Sincerely,

i dont watch the news often. i leave that to my husband. it gives us something to talk about. every time he talks about you mr. cooper he tells me how in touch with everything you are. we all think you are doing a great job in letting us know what is going on in this messed up world we call home.

Isn't that the reason why it's called News and COMMENTARY? That's why AC is allowed to use words like "enemies" and "raising eyebrows"

Thank God for the New dialogue between President Obama and Chevez, I hope we can start to have positive communications betweeen the 2 Countries.

You do your job well! Why don't you follow some of us regular folk? You can't imagine how intelligent some of us really are! Too bad the "regular folk don't actually get heard!

Dear Anderson Cooper,

I Love CNN and love your absolutely love your show. I feel more people should use technology, even if some people feel its useless and boring. Facebook, myspace, youtube and twitter now have proven time and time again that it can be used for good causes and I applaued people that want to make a difference. I also want to thank you for your hard work and dedication for always bringing the best informative shows and news to your viewers. Keep up the brilliant work. The work issues may seem at most times overwhelming but it only takes one person to make a difference. We must always remember that and keep fighting to save even one life.

A loyal fan.

This is just a 'breather'-from the gloomy news we're seeing daily! And I love the 'breathing space'.

I signed up with Twitter for this Twit war and I'm glad I did!

Sometimes, simple stuff you did; spells a lot to some people - without even you knowing it !

The story of the boy who commited suicide because of the bullying at school is truly sad. I am an elementary school teacher. I don't tolerate bullying, but of course, I have to know about it in order to help.

Only about two weeks ago one boy in my class teased another boy about "being gay." Since both of the boys are third graders, I first told the bully that he can't do that. I told him that his comments hurt the other child's feelings, and that if he continues treating others mean that no one will want to be his friend. Then I called the bully's parents that evening and told them firmly that bullying is never tolerated, and that if I hear of it again that I may suspend their child from school. I will go to any end to stop or prevent bullying. At the beginning of the year I teach acceptance so strongly that few kids dare to make fun of another. I am the authorinty in my classroom!

I use to watch CNN but your recent reporting has become as low as MSNBC. The reason both of your networks are losing so many viewers is because you are so obviously bias. The comments made by Anderson Cooper and some rookie report about the Tea Parties have done nothing but cause more anger in middle american. Your network should be ashamed of itself.

I think the last comment by Michael Ryan has Anderson Cooper Confused with FoxNews and Hannity.
Keep doing what you do AC and I will keep watching you, by the way this article was on Ashton Kutcher and Malaria.
What a wonderful idea it was of Ashton to come up with to gather so many people to come together for a great cause even Oprah has joined in and is donating 20,000 nets..
Thank you Anderson, Larry King and Ashton Kutcher.

I'd love to meet for a latte and discuss "universal health care" for Americans. Come to Canada and see how a great program works.

hey anderson...love ya

Anderson,
You just keep doing the great job reporting the news. If others think they can do such a great job- then why aren't they reporting news. Thanks for your passion for reporting the news

Dear AC! Twitter is NOT hearing OUR voice! IT IS FAILING OUR VOICE! It heard one mill followers follow Ashton Kutcher! I was logged in the day that AK got the email from a girl re: the Malaria nets & should've been donated to UNICEF (a MUCH broader charity). It was NOT his idea! He agreed to donate per her request! The one he answered perhaps because she had over 100+ followers. I have pleaded over and over again for Tweeps to flood celebs, including you, to remember the twitter universe need not be a follower to the literal extent! We can follow our own goals using or own minds!

The point is to help bring light to ALL CAUSES! Not ONE cause. No celebrity has responded bcuz truthfully us small people do not matter to them at all! I was a fan and am deeply saddened at this. What may have been once a good faith was a PR ploy & 2 see others "Follow" to one cause is disgusting as I sit in my bed and fight for my life and others who have illnesses and concerns right here in USA! Point is this only proves that if one celeb can manipulate people then he will and brainless celebs think they are doing good by "FOLLOWING" their actions! THINK! Should charity not be spread?

I'm not demanding any .orgs just asking for people to give where their heart wants to.. not to prove anything. Any NO ONE has yet to listen! You can be the first AC! I have faith in you! You've traveled the world and seen there are many more problems then JUST malaria! Many more NPO's that need funds. As far as I know malarianomore has not even been verified for fund safety! Not Ashtons idea so he should not take the credit! Celebs are just making normal people feel worse about themselves as day by day we are never answered, as kind as we ask.

AC and CNN feel free to use my email to contact me further. I can list many more org's that don't go to me either. Wish they did! But stem cell research may be helpful. C'mon! Aren't we more important right now then being treated like pawns in a game of "winning"!

Anderson you are the best!!

We as humanity / Celebrity alike have to get involved in the process. If we as stewards of this planet don't act we're in trouble. If Twitter did something to help those people in need. Cheers to Ashton, and CNN.
Together we raise if not we fall from grace. Connection is key in all areas!

To: Michael Ryan

The tone of bias you speak of lives in you, Your assumption that the public can't comprehend information and process it without being swayed by bias is absurd. Mr. Cooper has proven to be an extremely credible news reporter and is highly trusted, and respected by the vast majority of Americans.

I agree, Ashton Kutcher did something really bold and inspiring this week, and it was pretty uplifting to participate and witness it unfold on Twitter. I have been trying to explain to my friends and colleagues the significance and possibilities offered by social media, Twitter specifically. Mr. Kutcher's campaign illustrated perfectly the opportunities that are available through social media, if we just seize them. I am a single mom struggling to put three daughters through college and care for a teenage son with autism. I am committing to buy 1 net a month for as long as I am financially able. I will also spread the word. T

It's awesome to find a way to help do something. The way things are now days it's not like a lot of us can jump on a plane and take our kids to do missionary work...which is deep in my heart...but to be able to help someone when a lot of us need help right now our selves is what this life is about. This is awesome and I am going to do what little I can!

More than a good cause!

It's just the calls of so many, so many in despair, pain and torments that could have been easily appeased. It has been said that cares of the hands are often directed from the heart, and cares that heal and heave one's burdens are often raised from the soul...

To care for those suffering from that disease is also to care for a world, a better world, that can be managed and often healed with just the right thinking and the ideal thoughts. Therefore, I praise and cherish the cares that Ashton C and A Cooper are laying toward those living in regions where malaria is known to cause more than pain and suffering.

It's more than Twittering for a good cause, and it's more than just setting the stage for getting all involve in this project. It's about making sure that our universe is well maintained, and that all and all, without regard to race and religion, people of all corners of the world are living fearlessly of what this disease may cause and alter at will. This is to bring comfort and mending those precious lives that may one day contemplate nature as a blessed gift instead of place where we just live to die from the hellish flaws of some unwanted diseases. Malaria must be a thing of the past!

Who in America gives a laboratory rats ass about how terrorists or enemy combatants, al quaeda members,.are tortured when the pricks that capture our people don't just torture, they kill our military members. When is the compassion for evil people going to stop!

Oh AC, always such a good read, not to hard on the eyes either

Hi Anderson,
Thankfully you'll be smarter than listening to such a comment from Mr. Thailand. Great job you're doing, and please keep up the good work.

It is rewarding to see his technology being used for a good cause verus mass murder of the minds bodies and faith!I told President Clinton on 2/8/1995 when he signed the Information Bill to create Power Balance with Revolution of Compassion Bill for I predicted all the murder and complications that has occured! My books and new Universal Psychology of Health & Excellence teachers that! I am a Spirit Maker!

Dear Anderson

Thanks so much for the way you use words to get the truth out. Following you is a satisfying experience. I sense the Heavenly Father is pleased.

May you sense his presence

Love AC360, and love AC. Never miss it.

Hey there Anderson
Great job on all of your work man I was mad when I didnt get to see ya in Houston for Ike hahaa

I am in for the donation for the cause gotta help those people. We got some bad skeetters here in Houston and I can imag how they feel.

Love ya
Your number one FAN!!
Rachel

It's causes like this which inspires us to tune into your show. way to go AC.

Please post the truth! No cover up here at CNN. The truth is that 1 charity is not the answer. Spreading it amongst many is. Twitter is failing the little people like me who have few followers. NO one listens to us especially not celebrities. The truth is that Mr. Kutcher was asked to donate these nets by one person one day and he agreed. The truth is as good as it was this seems a mission of self gratification to see who will "follow" ones lead and exactly what he does and everyone has it seems. All celebs Mr. Kutcher asked to donate to only one cause with all those #'s we could do more.

We need more attention on other charitable organizations. We can do so much more but listening is crucial! Please post this truth. We should never be afraid to post truth. I am only one person anyway. You choose to agree or not. I am saddened by this whole # thing. At first it was exciting but what a let down to see everyone being manipulated like puppets into a celebrities hand. It is scary that we can fall to that. I would have loved to see donations go out to everyone and for the Kutchers to promote that.

Follow yourself. Follow your heart. Celebrities on Twitter please pay attention to your fans if they bother to pay attention to you. Many thanks and kind regards.

To the post above – Michael, isn't this post about malaria? What's with the "sensationalizing the news".........

what some people don't understand, anderson, is what you and ashton have done is wonderful. and no you guys didn't do it for fame you guys did for human life. so thank you anderson and kutcher. BRAVO

That is a great way to even promote Twitter more, though I am new at Twitter but it is the most growing SM platform
Adopting a cause is the way to go

Hi Anderson! I never realized that Twitter had a good cause until you wrote about malaria and it's relationship to Twitter in your blog. Thank you for this information. Truthfully, I wasn't taking Twitter and its contest seriously until I read your article on it.

Thanks again for the info.

Sincerely,
Nancy Andrew
An avid watcher of you on CNN

your a genius!!!!!!!!!!!this is gonna be big stuff ash!!! How can I donate????

i believe this webpage is called ac360 news and COMMENTARY... if I want a straight NEWS ONLY website i would probably go on cnn's main page. i am a great fan of anderson cooper and i trust his judgement. he is a well rounded person (as i recently heard him on ryan seacrest's radio show) therefore my admiration for him only increased. now, in my own commentary and my own opinion, there's enough hatred and negativism in this world, in my own opinion, if you don't like what's on this webpage then why are you reading it?

It's great that today's technology is being leveraged to bring about powerful changes. And even greater when celebrities take the lead in doing this. Hats off to Ashton (and he's so darn cute, too)

Anderson,

Along with working on ending malaria in Africa, we are working to bring 3000 child soldiers home from the terror they have been living under. Not only is April 25th World Malaria Day – but on April 25th we also hope to celebrate the RESCUE of Joseph Kony's child soldiers. We cannot do this with out your help.

Please watch a 30 minute film about the man we are seeking to bring to justice, the children who have waited 24 years to be rescued – and the worldwide movement seeking to end this war once and for all.

YOU have a role in the RESCUE Anderson. We know you've heard – we know you are aware, we know your heart. You have seen Africa, and looked into the faces of many children like these 3000.

Join us on April 25th in any of the 80 cities around the world. If you can't come the 25th – we will still be out there....SELF-abducted, until you tell this story. And the RESCUE RIDERS will ride...until we see it end.

We need your voice, your eyes, your words.

COME TO THE RESCUE.

Thank you CNN, Mr. Cooper, Mr. King, and Mr. Kutcher for taking the time to report on this important issue.
