I don’t understand Anderson Cooper’s appeal
By Jon Friedman

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Yes, CNN’s Anderson Cooper has heart. He oozes empathy. He’s clearly a good-hearted fellow and, by all accounts, as likeable as all get-out.

And yet I have this Cooper-related conundrum.

Can you please explain to me how the host of “Anderson Cooper 360″ seems to have become the most trusted name in news at Time Warner’s CNN?

I may have just answered my own question. I suspect that people tune in to Cooper because they like him, and that’s no small feat for a television personality. If more people liked Katie Couric, she probably wouldn’t be in danger of getting shoved out of the “CBS Evening News” anchor chair.
