Alec Baldwin & Anderson Cooper are feuding on Twitter after reporter slams '30 Rock' star's apology for anti-gay slur on '360'
Alec Baldwin is no stranger to controversy in his personal life. He's currently in court, suing an apparent stalker, and every other week he's in the headlines for some sort of altercation with the paparazzi. His most recent controversy involves some anti-gay slurs he said, which he has since apologized for - though the damage has been done. Now there appears to be some sort of Twitter feud with CNN television personality Anderson Cooper.
It should be stated that Alec Baldwin and Twitter do not mix well. Most of the controversy in his life comes from his tweets. That said, he has deleted his account many times, so this new story about some tweets against Cooper might be from a fake Twitter account.
So Anderson Cooper criticized Baldwin's apology to the gay community after he made the anti-gay remarks this month.

In response to this tweet, the Baldwin account posted the following messages to Twitter:
@AC360 @andersoncooper If I had Anderson's paycheck and sorry ratings, I might be fast and loose with the truth, as well. — AlecBaldwin (@AlecBaldwin) November 19, 2013
@AC360 @andersoncooper I think it would suit you to be more careful what you accuse people of. Journalism us about having the facts.

@AC360 @andersoncooper Or are you more "host" than journalist? — AlecBaldwin (@AlecBaldwin) November 19, 2013
Cooper then responded to these tweets with the following:
.@AlecBaldwin are you drunk? You're kind of embarrassing yourself. I wish you well.
— Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) November 19, 2013
.@AlecBaldwin I've got to assume this is a fake account. It would be too embarrassing otherwise — Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) November 19, 2013
What do you think of this new Twitter feud?
