Does Wolf Blitzer work for John McCain?
I don't watch CNN much but just watched a bit of that ridiculously softball interview with Palin, and then Wolf Blitzer was talking to an Obama spokesman to respond. Wolf asked him "Palin called Obama's policy socialism, do you have anything to say to people about whether Obama is a socialist?"

WTF???

Does Wolf Blitzer know what the hell socialism is? The media calls themselves a "filter" but guys like Wolf Blitzer are just the opposite. They look for the most ridiculous claims to talk about. It should be Wolf Blitzer and whoever that moron was that was interviewing Palin to say to Palin - that is NOT socialism. We've had a progressive tax system for over a century! McCain's tax plan is progressive too. They should do their job as the press and filter out the nonsense, but instead they just amplify them.

6. I saw about 5 minutes of the CNN "interview" today
That was all I could stand. I emailed CNN about it, and said, among other things, they should be embarrassed. Katie Couric managed to get a decent interview, so why can't they?

7. It doesn't end with these CNN f**kers
They seem to think that by continuing to ask people if they think Obama is a "socialist" or his policies are socialism that it is somehow journalism? Are they f**king insane. If Obama goes out there and says McCain is a fascist are they going to sit there and pretend to seriously ponder whether McCain is a fascist for an entire news cycle?
