Anderson Cooper. Powerful. Gay.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper was ranked number two on Out‘s “The Power 50, The Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America”
Anointed an “emo-anchor” by The New York Observer for his coverage of Hurricane Katrina, the rise of Anderson Cooper heralded the simultaneous demise of the Dan Rather–Tom Brokaw era of dry efficiency. Despite an unfortunate side trip into reality TV in 2001 as host of ABC’s late, unlamented The Mole, his instincts have served him well: His annual salary at CNN was reportedly doubled this year, from $2 million to $4 million.
