Should Have Known
Anderson Cooper of CNN interviewed the mayor of Las Vegas, and it turned into a giant "gotcha." The mayor looked silly and uninformed. Cooper kept firing questions, and she got in deeper and deeper into a morass she made for herself. One wonders if she has ever had media training. She seemed to be rambling and off-message from the beginning. She wants casinos open and the town back to its conventions and mass visitor visits. She wants hotels full again and life to return to a pre-corona normal. Cooper eviscerated her. I'm sure her staff was cringing as she spoke but there was nothing to be done short of ending the interview early and taking the hit for doing that. The one-on-one ended on a friendly note but Cooper was anything but. Las Vegas is a big city. Surely its politicians can do better.
