Wolf Blitzer doing another hour on Rev Wright with clips right now
Edited on Sun May-04-08 11:14 AM by IrishBloodEngHeart
What an idiot. All three panelists told him to move on, but he's still talking.


Edit: He's now moving on at 915 am since panel has refused to respond to his stupid questions.

2. You know, I'm thinking there are likely high school kids who work on
their school papers with better journalism instincts than Wolf Blitzer.

CNN, for the love of Christ, get that little turd off the air. Give his job to Cafferty. Now.

10. Agreed!
I say get the high school kids to be working on the CNN news staff.

As for Cafferty, he's playing golf, fishing or in his basement firing up his router on Sundays...not getting dolled up and reading the RNC talking points...

18. Wolf is doing a great job!
considering his mentor Pat Robertson...

http://www.yuricareport.com/Media/OnPatRobertsonWolfeBlitzerAndDavidCorn.html
Wolf Blitzer’s Secret

It’s scary to hear someone carry-on like Pat. But it’s sort of strange to realize that Pat and Wolf Blitzer go way back together. Yep! Wolf used to work for Pat Robertson's CBN way back when Pat was setting up his news bureau and Wolf was the 700 Club’s reporter from the Middle East.
He was a lot younger in those days, but in those beginning days Pat exposed Wolf Blitzer to a viewing audience that topped the Nielsen ratings at 28.7 million monthly viewers! That’s a great way to launch one’s career. But Wolf Blitzer likes to keep that part of his career kind of quiet. He doesn’t list the 700 Club’s news bureau in his biography. He doesn’t tell CNN’s audience that Pat was like an angel to him when he was just an independent reporter starting out. But those of us who watched Pat’s show could never forget Wolf Blitzer’s reports. He was presented to us as such an expert—we were just so proud of him! And look how high he’s gone. You’d think he’d give Pat a little credit. No doubt he says “Thanks” by inviting him on CNN!


After all, Pat started a J-School (Journalism School) and Bob Slosser, who had worked for the New York Times became the President of CBN University and Bob Slosser shared Pat’s vision of a new America. Slosser was at the graduation of the first graduate from the Institute of Journalism, it was a young lady named Eliza Wright. And the Governor of Missouri, a fellow named John Ashcroft gave the graduation speech on May 20, 1985! (My how these folks go way back together—and it shows what loyalty can do!) Bob Slosser told the 700 Club audience that day:


“We’re going to change the way the country thinks, we’ve bought into this secularism thing and that’s taken us right down the wrong path. I believe that this institution and those like this…will change the way this country thinks!”


I guess Wolf Blitzer is doing his best to help Americans change the way we think—even about assassination!
Shame on you Wolf! I can see why you would be reluctant to give credit to Pat for helping to launch your career. And it does explain why you don’t mention it, but really—don’t you think murdering people is immoral—or is that part of how you always wanted to change America too?

6. And getting spanked for it by all three guests
Rangel, Donna Brazile and I forget the name of the third. But each of the three said "enough". Wolfe continued by paying clips and asking for comments. Ultimately he was told to talk to the hand.

He said he's going to talk about the issues after this break.

7. "This is what he said last Sunday"...
Wolf just can't give it up. I saw the same garbage on Fox Noise Sundee...

Yeah, Obama hadn't made his "Goodbye Wright" speech on Tuesday on Sunday. Wright hadn't made his "Goodbye Obama" speech on Monday.

This better be Wolf's last week with this crap unless he really is a stooge.

8. You have got to be kidding me. I can't believe how low the media has sunk.
I mean, seriously, if only they had devoted a tiny fraction of the airtime they've devoted to Wright to actually, oh, I don't know, covering reasons for invading Iraq or questioning Cheney's secret energy meetings or examining how Bushco stole two elections...You know, trivial stuff like that. :eyes:

13. cable news has been in bed with BO and from that lost viewers.. now they are challenging BO!
they have finally started acting like news networks! BO has been floating on the backs of the news media who has held him up as a God! many people have complained and they finally realized the sponsors would not support a network with no viewers.. the only ones watching were the BO koolaid drinkers.. now they are mad because the networks are actually doing a part of their job... not enough if you ask me.. they are still pandering to BO and his campaign... but they are starting to get real... their panelists are pro-BO.. their anchors are pro-OB and the rest of you need to get over it!

BO is going to get creamed in a GE because he has never been tested.. when I hear him talk about how he has been tested by Hillary's attacks, I laugh and think he is a wimp!

Lame, lame, lame.

The media has been propping up Hillary because they want either her or McCain to continue the neocon policies of Bushco.

22. I have to pipe in
I supported Hillary early on and then switched to Obama about 2-1/2 months ago when she went nuclear on the negativity. When I was supporting her, I recall the media's fascination with her "crying" jags. Now, with Obama, they are obsessed with Wright.

The media does not love either Dem. They are still fighting the liberal media tag that Fox and the Repubs laid on them. They are equal opportunity as far as slamming the Dems. All they care about is stoking the fire, firing up the drama, to get all Dems to repudiate them so that they can throw that "liberal" mantle off their shoulders and increase their ratings. The only thing they love as much as stirring that pot - John McCain.

40. sorry but I stand by my statement!!! if you switched your vote for that!! then...
you're easily distracted.. and not viewing reality...

the media is in love with Obama and #1 the journalists are liberal... given the green light by their bosses who are RW... go figure what the RW wants!... BO is a train wreck... and he is crashing as we are about to endorse him... the RW has had it planned all along and the liberals and their soft thinking has let it happen again!

15. just sent an email to cnn
Wolf -
Your obsession with the Rev Wright story has diminished your credibility over the last few months.
Your coverage is now becoming an ethics in journalism issue.
Please, for the sake of your reputation, probe deeper into your topics for journalistic insight - not tabloid headlines.
Young journalism students are turning on you. You have become a caricature of tabloid press and not responsible news telling.
You are being studied for your attachment to large, corporate media, ratings, and tabloid coverage...Its a shame.
We used to look at your programming for the news, now we look at it for you at at you as a study of the problem.

Sad.

26. Wolf Blitzer loves Hillary. I've stopped watching CNN because of him.
Now I just leave cartoons on for the kids and get my news from the internet. He is a complete embarrasment.

28. CNN has turned Rev. Wright into a cottage industry.
Obama could push Jeremiah Wright off the Sears Tower and that wouldn't be good enough for these people. I heard Charlie Rangel lament earlier that it was a shame the media didn't want to cover the important issues in the campaign. Wolfie promised he'd get to the issues. In December, I guess.
