   Veteran broadcaster Anderson Cooper said Monday that he is leaving his   
   role as a correspondent on CBS News' "60 Minutes" after nearly 20 years.   
      
   In a statement, Cooper said he intended to spend more time focusing on his   
   CNN gig, and his family.   
      
   His exit comes at an already turbulent time for CBS News under its new   
   editor in chief, Bari Weiss.   
      
   Here are what some of the leading voices in media are saying about   
   Cooper's "60 Minutes" departure.   
      
   Sports broadcaster Keith Olbermann shared the news about Cooper's   
   departure on his Bluesky account, posting: "Anderson Cooper has left the   
   sinking ship that is Idiot Bari Weiss's New Stormfront CBS."   
      
   Olbermann later added, "Now, people will only be able to NOT watch AC on   
   cnn."   
      
   Cooper has worked at CNN since 2001, where he is a political commentator   
   and hosts the "Anderson Cooper 360" show.   
      
   Brian Lowry, a longtime media columnist and current Hollywood   
   correspondent at Status News, a media newsletter, wrote on X: "Have worked   
   around Hollywood long enough to know nobody ever really leaves a job to   
   spend more time with their family."
