CNN's Anderson Cooper gave a polite critique to his new colleague, Jay Carney, while commenting on Wednesday's exchange between Carney and John McCain.
Speaking to Carney's claim that the Syrian opposition was in a better position today when compared to two or three years ago, Cooper said, "That doesn't seem to be the case.
"They have suffered huge losses on the battlefield, not just against the Assad regime, but al Nusra Front, against ISIS, and there have been huge defections of formerly allegedly moderate military commanders who have gone over to al Nusra or ISIS or other Salafist groups."
