(7/22/10) The "not particularly partisan" (7:55) Anderson Cooper's view on what the Andrew Breitbart, Shirley Sherrod experience reveals about the current state of ideologically driven online and TV journalism.

Anderson Cooper: "Andrew Breitbart is conservative. But, as I said, there are liberals online and on TV who did the exact same things. They cherry-pick the facts that prove their argument, not the facts that reveal the truth."

"We should point out, this is not necessarily even about Andrew Breitbart. I mean, this is not about conservative or liberal. There are as many liberal bloggers who do the exact same kind of stuff. And it's just as odious. And if a story like this breaks on their side, we'll point that out as well."

"I don't get -- as somebody who is not particularly partisan on the left or the right, I try not to view things through the lens of being liberal or being conservative. I don't get -- it just seems like, whether you're a conservative or whether you're a liberal and you have a blog, it doesn't seem like the truth really matters."
