You got to wonder. Did CNN pay Donald Sterling for their ‘big, exclusive’ interview with Anderson Cooper tomorrow? CNN is sure hyping the interview with the racist Democrat donor. Donald Sterling is reportedly going to apologize for his racism (as if that will help.) Their ratings are in the toilet, have been going down, down down over the past several years, so why would Sterling choose to go with CNN and Anderson Cooper if he wants to claim he was set up? No one will see it live basically. Maybe CNN didn’t pay Sterling. Maybe he just feels comfortable around his progressive liberal like-minded pals at CNN. All I know is Donald Sterling has always been hated in Los Angeles. This whole racism charade is just the icing on the cake.

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling says he’s sorry but feels he was “baited” to make racist comments, nearly two weeks after the NBA fined him and banned him for life for his remarks in a recorded conversation.
“When I listen to that tape, I don’t even know how I can say words like that. … I don’t know why the girl had me say those things,” he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in an exclusive interview set to air on Monday.
“You’re saying you were set up?” Cooper asked.
“Well yes, I was baited,” Sterling said. “I mean, that’s not the way I talk. I don’t talk about people for one thing, ever. I talk about ideas and other things. I don’t talk about people.”
Sterling, an 80-year-old married lawyer and billionaire real-estate investor, hasn’t spoken publicly about the accusations since celebrity gossip website TMZ posted a 10-minute audio recording of him that drew widespread condemnation from fans, players and the league.
