I'm making myself feel better: I am boycotting Wolf Blitzer
He had Jesse Jackson on the other day, whoring for Bush and defending Bush's decision not to address the NAACP.

That came on the heels of his disastrous appearance on the Daily Show.

That man has no morals, no values, no talent, and now, one less viewer.

Fuck him.

I really want to see the Ambassador Wilson segment, but I've made my decision and am sticking to it.

2. I made that decision after the 2002 elections and
haven't gone back..but I've read accounts of blitzer on du and, of course, ..he's very predictable.

I hope Joe Wilson creams his ass.

3. OK, maybe somebody might explain to me why he is the "mediawhore"
in charge of such "important" (in terms of time placement and length) programs on CNN?
He is not particularly smart, particularly well informed, NOT physically attractive at all, and I really dislike his tone of voice when asking question...monotone, lifeless. As to content of his "questions"... it goes without saying that they are biased, but usually not address the real issues at hand.

5. I hate his voice.
It is the worst voice in broadcasting. How the hell he got where he is I'll never know. Oh wait...he shills for BushCo...nevermind.

12. My husband screams when he comes on
Because he can't stand. The way he breaks at inappropriate. Points in time as if he were so. Distracted by important breaking news that he can't. Even catch his breath appropriately.

4. I really think now that he is a propaganda mouthpiece for the WH.
Edited on Sun Jul-18-04 11:53 AM by Cleita
He has started sprinkling the Al Queda/Iran connection and the need to suspend the elections in case of a terrorist attack. This is propaganda pure and simple. Next watch these events unfold on time.

7. I Have To Hand It To You
for putting up with his garbage for so long. I just could not take it anymore. I don't watch corporate news media anymore. I just read.

8. Tweety is next
his anti Dem, anti Kerry, anti Edwards bullshit consistently outweighs his positive reporting.

10. I Have Heard
I get really angry when I listen to them talk. They sound like a bunch highschool kids I grew up with. Geneane says it right: These folks connect with people's inner Archie Bunker. What's so sad, is the people actually fall for their crap.

9. I used to like Blitzer.
I thought he was honest and a good reporter. He has become very biased in favor of the Republican party. I watch very little of CNN these days because of its right wing tilt. As far as Goldberg is concerned, I feel bad for her. She is a strong supporter of Democrats and tried to help them. In return, they criticize her. Republicans don't do this. They support their own, no matter what they do. The Democrats did not support the CBC during the 2000 election. Prominent Democrats such as Paul Begala and DeeDee Myers scorned Cynthia McKinney. And now the party leadership distance itself from Goldberg.

11. The last time I saw this useless Goebellsette I was stuck in an airport
where the government sponsored telescreen runs 24 hours a day blaring propaganda.

I found a job where I don't have to travel so much and one of the great benefits of the job is not having to watch the Censored News Network spew 24 hours of Repuke spun "news." (One of my least favorite was when they'd put the Repuke Ralph Nader on and identify him as a "consumer advocate," instead of "2% failed disgraced Presidential candidate."
