OMG! OMG! OMG! Wolf Blitzer Actually

did a good job refuting a Republican Congressman’s claim parroting Trumps claim today(lie) that Hillary”s campaign..started the Birther Story..

Jesus Christ,.. it was unbelievable, the manner in which Blitzer prevented the Congressman’s attempt to move on to another subject (Gish Gallop)..

I mean I was nervous because I was certain he’d fuck up and give the Repub. the last word as most of these interviews usually do... Blitzer almost seemed nervous, as if he was uncomfortable entering these waters...He stumbled a few times but managed to stay on point..

Congrats Wolf....Yea!.... Don’t worry, 1 time out of 10,000 interviews I know ...butttttt

Can't watch even if I wanted. Can't patronize their advertisers either. So sad.

Oh well. Don't care for CNN or Fox Entertainment, which is a primary reason we don't subscribe to Cable/SAT TV.

Old Wolfie will catch a bit of heat this weekend at the Cocktail Parties. The Guy is a total fail when it comes any type of Journalism. By the way,Duffy is a Wing Nut an just another Koch Brothers Parrot. Duffy likes these types of smart mouth false statements,makes him look good back home in the Brush of Northern Wisconsin.

a gerrymander district engineered just for him. The area he left always votes democratic. And they know Sean is a republican toad. He now live in central Wisconsin. A three hour drive from Northern Wisconsin.

The 25- minute free air time topped up with lies seems to have been the last straw.
I saw a string of articles - WaPo and many others - whose headlines said that he lied about Hillary having originated the birther myth.
And driving home tonight, in recounting the afternoon, NPR wasted no time at all in saying that Trump "falsely" accused Hillary of starting the birther thing.

It's as if the media all got together with each other and agreed, "ENOUGH already."

I hope that they stick with it.
It's about time!

CNN standing up to Trump is surely increasing the ratings.. More stations may take on the challenge to stand up to the BS.

Wolf thinks he's being impartial. But what he's really doing is let Trump and his cronies get away with hundreds of falsities over and over again

were as great or greater than his. He bragged how he left them behind, then didn't allow questions from them. They are framing this anger around his birther crap but we know that's just an excuse. They had their feelings hurt and now he must be punished. I am loving this.
