• CNN host Anderson Cooper addressed a statement Stephanie Grisham provided Business Insider with on his Monday night 'Ridiculist' segment, further fueling their feud over the long-running absence of White House press conferences. 
• Initially, Cooper responded to Grisham suggesting she see the Broadway musical "Hamilton" if she thought media attention to October accusations of quid pro quo could be characterized as "theater."
• "I think CNN has lost sight of the fact that we are human beings," Grisham told Business Insider at the time, in the midst of the Ukraine scandal that would lead to President Donald Trump's impeachment.
• Cooper responded to Grisham's suggestion, noting that it had been 301 days since the last formal White House news briefing, and pointing out that Grisham went on Fox News to say anti-Trump Republicans "deserve" to be called "human scum" just days after her response to him.
