    Analysis: Anderson Coopers show is fairly balanced and the stories are discussed in-depth. With
    news analytics and a plethora of sources it was easy to give higher points on sources. Also because of it
    being a 24-hr news network, the stories are discussed for much longer than an average network time slot.
    This allowed for extra credit on every story. All the stories covered were core stories with high impact for
    the audience. Despite all of this, there were still points removed for unnamed sources.
