4. Wolf is the worst
The guy is constantly interrupting the people he interviews when they are in the middle of answer.

14. This is a trick question isn't it?
There are no reporters therefore no one can be labeled worse than the other.OR:Tucker Carlson.

7. LOL!
Good one.

But of the reporter wannabes, I'll put my money on Wolferoni, the bush-and-cheney treat.

11. Most cable "journalists" are in reality corporate lawyers now.
They are given a viewpoint to espouse and are well paid to defend it with every tool in their arsenal to the limits of the law and beyond when feasible.

Truth, ethics, national duty (snort!) and similar concepts simply don't enter the equation. It would never occur to most of these people to do their job any other way, and why should it? It's a much more profitable, easy profession than it was years ago.

13. A secular amen to that
CNN operates under a formula geared for moneymaking: short, bland segments, safe guests, and safer anchors. When's the last time the CNN ever had something that came close to asking real questions like a Frontline or even 60 Minutes? The biggest pap-master is Wolf Blitzer, who has a knack of sounding like he is asking hard-hitters, when really he's ratifying (without challenge) the loony views of a lot of his subjects. A total whore.

12. toss up: Judy Woodruff and Robert Novak!
Pray tell, how can "they" say CNN is liberal? Just more state-run TV.
(BTW - why didn't Novak get arrested? How did he get away with his shennagans?)

15. Leslie Fucking Blitzer
Close second: Candy the Donut Queen

None of the rest of their assholes are actual reporters, they're just opinion mongers.

On the flip side, Aaron Brown can be pretty good, and I actually admire Lou Dobbs. For Dobbs, one can debate his stances (I often agree with him) but no one can say he isn't a hell of a good host. HIs interviews and his panels are always managed well. No yelling, no insults, no slack answers. He keeps his panelists and his guests on topic and allows equal time for all. He is also not afraid to say he disagrees with someone, but always as a gentleman.

27. Well if he didn't have such a racist campaign against the Mexicans
he might be okay. But I think when you dedicate your time everyday to using the Mexicans as scapegoats when it is the corporations shipping jobs over seas you are a real slimeball.

he had the nerve to go on the John Stewart show and say "everyone makes mistakes" about the war in Iraq as if it was something that just happens and he always justifies it.

I didn't know that bitch was dating that asshole
They're meant for each other. I knew there was something about her I didn't like. My ex-girlfriend used to love her and I couldn't understand why.

28. I've blanked on his name since you don't see him as much..
but the reporter during the impeachment hearings - Bob Something or Other - would make me turn the sound off.

If Daryl Kagen is still there, I'd vote her in for second. I can only imagine how she got her job.

36. Carol Lin
and the way she reads the news like she's a baby talking mother spoon feeding her 3 year old is the worst of a really inept bunch.

Lou Dobbs and John King are the only two on there who have any professionalism

Have you ever noticed after almost every segment she makes some kind of moronic comment? It's really annoying.

41. I have to agree
I wrote to Ann about her comment "I know it's democracy, but sometimes it's hard to take seriously", and got the nastiest e-mail back from her. She completely avoided the topic because apparently she needs a transcript to remember her own ignorant comments, and she referred to me as a hateful person. My initial reaction was to think, that she's got an awful lot of time on her hands, for being such a busy journalist...and incredibly thin skinned (my e-mail could not have more mild)

47. I agree. She has to be BunnyW's pet love monkey.
When Bu$h was catching mucho heat about his TANG desertion, some idiot spokesperson for the admin came on and said, "President Bu$h served with honor and completed his obligation". Lin said, "well, there you have it"....meaning end of story the WH has spoken. She truly is the worst.
