Full-page advert in The New York Times for Anderson Cooper‘s show on CNN, AC360. I did not have time to scan, so ripped it from the paper. I have no further comment.
Filed under Not just about Africa Tagged with AC360, Africa on US media, Africa through western eyes, Anderson Cooper, CNN, colonialism, Dr Livingstone, Henry Stanley, imperialism, newspaper advertisements, You can't make this stuff up
So what they are saying is that without the presence of Anderson Cooper everyone is dishonest?
I think the shock at the ad is because of the “faithful black companion” at his side… some stereotypes never change.
