    Following on from a discussion which has sprung up on another thread here, I though I'd start a new one on this show.

    I noticed around 2009 that Cooper started to become quite vitriolic and populist in his viewpoints and that affected his shows for me. It hasn't gotten any better since then and his personal issues seem to dictate the slant his shows take. An obvious example is his take on US politics but there are more insidious issues that have an effect on the broader population.

    Has anyone else noticed that when he covers the car insurance issue, it's always a representative of the insurance industry he interviews with no balancing interviewee? I know his show is sponsored by an insurance company and that may be a reason but I find it disappointing that a man who used to have very good credibility would let something like sponsorship, or personal prejudices, dictate the content of a real live issue for his audience.

    That's was around the time Matt went into negative equity on his house and we had 4 years of negative equity stories but none that I've heard in the last 18 months, coincidentally around the time Matts house went back into positive equity:-0
