Wolf Blitzer defends Hillary's racism: It was satire.

[Karmadillo]

This came during an interview with Ben Jealous. While Wolf harped on horror of someone saying "corporate Democratic whore," a phrase uttered by a speaker an hour or two before Sanders took the stage, he immediately defended Hillary's participation in a racist skit, a skit she, not someone else, participated in, as just satire. Once again, we see the oligarch media work overtime to cover for the establishment candidate while working equally hard to wound anyone with the audacity to challenge her. One can only imagine the firestorm if Sanders had joked about CP time and then not only refused to apologize but also attempted to lay the blame for the offensive action on someone else.

1. Apparently "satire" is the new "I'm just kidding" (n/t)

3. Wolf was just getting prepared to moderate the debate tonight

He has to warm up to make sure he doesn't pull a hamstring tonight.

5. I have not seen Hillary's racist skit...

...this contest is over. We all need to get behind Bernie, now. Nothing in Hillary's behavior ever suggested to me she is a racist - I'm shocked and disappointed. Don't even want to turn on the TV news to see this racist skit... She will probably need to back out of the debate this evening. Sad end to a fine career.

6. Isn't he moderating the debate tonight? n/t

7. I guess Wolf approves of this though

Hate Rally in Washington Square-Are they passing out armbands?

A Hillary surrogate Tom Watson gets a pass from Wolf.

11. Still waiting for Wolf Blitzer to do a live re-enactment of himself on the Malaysian jet.

With how much trite coverage he gave that, I was hoping it'd be his next step in over the top 'reporting'.
