Poor Old Wolf Blitzer, He's Still Questioning A Plane Or Helicopter.
Wolf, The fucking FAA has stated over and over that it was a fixed wing aircraft for God's sake. Listen to your reporters you fucking idiot.

1. Wolf is excused from facts, he's not a member of the reality based
community.

3. Something I've Learned About Media Whores
It's far more important that you speak articulately. It's far more important that you LOOK GOOD FOR THE CAMERAS. It's far more important that you have a cute upbeat, NOTHING IS EVER BAD personality.....than having actual "news intelligence."

I know more from 10 minutes surfing the web, than I'll learn in watching a year of katie couric.

9. Oh, please, not Katie Couric!
I mentioned this a few weeks ago. Bay Buchanan was on the same program, but it was not Blitzer, someone else stood for him. And she immediately said that even the "friendly" emails from Foley had "Predator" written all over again.

This, apparently, was lost on the moderator since his next question was about the same thing and Buchanan started by: "as I stated earlier.."

I have to wonder whether there are any interviewers left who actually listen to what their guests are saying (I do not watch Larry King, he may be one..)

All of them, including Jon Stewart, just talk fast and really are trying to articulate to themselves what they think the audience want to know, barely let their subject finish a sentence.

5. Thank God for Cafferty. He just injected a note of sanity and
perspective into the hysterical CNN coverage. He pointed out numerous incidents of planes crashing into building in NYC over the years, going back to the 1940s. Wolf sounded disappointed.

8. Did you hear Blitzer right before he went to Cafferty???
He said there are "lots, and lots, and lots of unanswered questions". Then he threw it to Jack who basically said it was a fucking accident. A sane voice in the midst of Blitzers shrill hissing.

10. Yes, I heard him. Did you hear him talking to Pataki?
He actually asked Pataki if the "buiding was in the wrong place."
