Wolf Blitzer cannot mask his disdain for the Iran nuke deal.....


..... I'm watching"Speedy TV" while here pumping gas at Speedway, and a segment with blitzer talking about the Iran deal came on. He unjoyfully mumbled through the first part, which was the opinions of proponents of the deal. But then with a wicked glee, he says, "But some say the deal will further destabilize the world."
Dude is so blatantly biased on this issue.

2. Blitzer is always sympathetic to hardline Israeli positions.

Objective journalism standards be damned. I always remember his big fail on Jeopardy and never take him seriously when I see him on the TV machine.

He just might be the worst pundit on TV.

When it comes to folks like O'Reilly, at least we know they're hacks.

Wolf is trotted out as an unbiased and objective commentator, but he's nothing more than a joke.

He was part of the Israeli lobbying group AIPAC if I'm not mistaken.

can Jeff Zucker pump oxygen to the racist GOP warmongers and Bibi that stand alone against the entire world on this peace agreement?

Blitzer is like Fox to me, 30 seconds of media cesspool diving is all I can take before I need oxygen.

public. I think perhaps he's against any compromise with Iran. He doesn't trust the current Iranian government. I hope he doesn't prove to be right. I too have mixed feelings about Islamic fundamentalist radicals getting a nuclear bomb but I guess it's just matter of time, anyway.

7. Maybe someone else needs to read the entire text of the 156 page document. Trust, but verify.

It is done, so says The World.

The boringly predictable caterwauling of AIPAC and allies at CNN and FOX are shouts in the dark.

There is indeed a change in the winds...all the fascist stink and corporate puppets in America are being blown away.

last 20 years? Iran is a signatory to the NNPT but no one seems to care that two of the most unstable nations on earth with nukes (India and Pakistan) are not. Nor will anyone dare to mention that the world now has more access to Iranian nuke activity than it does to that of N. Korea, India, Pakistan, or Israel.

10. Blitzer got his 'reporting' chops on the CBN. IOW, his mentor is Pat Robertson.
