Wolf: "Clinton does not understand the news media"

"We were just reporting the information that came to us."

He's going on and on about how the media's coverage of Clinton was justified.

Lanny Davis is telling the truth about the whole thing. Blitzer is in denial.

de-regulating the media. Clinton admitted it to Randi Rhodes.

Really, fuck Leslie

and if they did it was always thru the "disgruntled" filter.

because the evidence clearly indicates that a large majority of Americans think that Bill was treated miserably by the media. That's why Clinton's #'s went UP at the height of the impeachment hearings.

You merely receive what comes to you? And how do you know what comes is truthful???

:grr:

boom mike, I hate him! He does not understand truth-telling.

Sit up Wolf
Wag your tail Wolf
Lie Wolf
Roll over Wolf
Fetch Wolf
Sic Dems Wolf

about was the media reporting on the facts re Monica.... in fact, CLINTON WAS MAD ABOUT THE WHITEWATER AND OTHER LIES THAT WERE REPORTED ad nauseum....I never see Wolfie interupt a Republican the way he did Lanny....disgusting!

Good -- hopefully this shows other democrats the need to show backbone!

I've been off the whole tv news things since the election, but I happened to catch a glimpse of Clinton talking to Peter Jennings. Then I had to hang around and watch Lanny "I'm so glad that George Bush branded me" Davis NOT fight back.
As usual, Davis was weak and ineffectual, and could have put Blitzer on his ass with one line:
If telling the truth is so important that it had to be investigated for six years and cost $70 million, why don't you hold Bush to the same standard?

problems with the Democrats. Their representative are too polite and almost always ineffective.

once upon a time, the news media didn't act like the town gossip

Welcome to DU! :toast:

...when it becomes available.

In fact, I'm going to collect instances of new media attacks on Clinton.

mere talking heads. Jon Stewart isn't afraid to tell them either. And it looks like Letterman is finally figuring it out, too.

The network fog will soon burn away like a bad nightmare. They will be obsolete, just like betamax and 8-track.

Not even talented enough to be actors.

:think:

It fits to a "T".

A few months ago, I use it whenever I can. Because that's what they are. I have never seen such a bunch of empty-headed dimwits in my life as what passes for reporters on cable news.

hehehehehe

lo and behold, they do or say something that proves me wrong. I have been boycotting CNN since their 'shock and awe' orgasm but do read what other posters say about their decline in credibility to that which is lower than the basest tabloid.

that's EXACTLY the problem! You reported what was told to you. You never investigated to verify the validity of the information...
Geez these guys really piss me off!!!!!!!!
Where's Edward R. Murrow when we need him?

They don't "report" anything, they repeat what the Republicans who own their companies tell them to report.

Clinton and Democrats have begun to understand how it works - there is no reporting, only propaganda for the right. We expected fairness, but the companies that own the media hate the left and support the right so there will never be fairness.

glad to see that we've cleared that up.

And, you'd think by now that Leslie would have gotten therapy for his obsession with Bill Clinton and Monica.

bringing the truth to the masses; however, when called on not doing that job, they turn out to just be amplification machines, repeating what others say, without judgment or analysis.

That means anyone can do that job. Might as well replace Wolf with someone better looking with fewer pretensions.

Every time i see any post about this guy, my response is the same ......

Fuck You Leslie Blitzer

You scum sucking sell-out piece of shit, lazy, fat ass, do-nothing, stenographer .... try sniffing out some actual news, you fuckwad. No wonder you have that beard ...... can't face yourself in the mirror? Do you know why you can't sniff out a real news story? Too much ass mung in your nose from kissing right wing butt.

I hope you rot in hell, you lying sack of dog shit.

Oh ..... and have a nice day :hi:

Right along with Fucker Carlson...

Everytime I watch that guy I see these deep dark secrets in his nervous eyes and expressions.

And here's what sucks the most about it: Wolf is right. Clinton, and Democrats, don't understand the news media.

Our problem is that we Democrats still cling to the anachonistic notion that the media actually has some sense of ethics. Our party and our candidates believe that the media has a sense of fairness, and wants to act as the arbiter of what is true and what is important.

This is, of course, ridiculous, and it's high time that Democrats start to recognize this. The media has no interest in making those sorts of judgements. As Jon Stewart pointed out, the media's bias is in favor of the most sensational stories. The Lewinsky scandal was completely unimportant, but it was extremely sensational.

We will continue to get our asses handed to us if we do not learn to play the media game. The Republicans know how to hightlight the sensational, the hot-button. Democrats keep thinking that we can win by being honest, and by focusing on "important" issues.

Wolf knows that this is a loser's strategy, and he is saying so. If we learned anything this year, it is that lying is better than telling the truth, because the media is AFRAID to act as the arbiter of truth. Just ask the swiftliars. The media repeated their lies, precisely because LIES ARE SENSATIONAL. But the media did not feel that they had any responsibility to discern truth from falsehood.

LYING. It's the wave of the future. And no, I'm not joking.
