Who is Jack Cafferty and why is he allowed on television? |
|
Sitting here watching CNN's new "in your face" attempt at Fox News style journalism and they keep giving some idiot named Jack Cafferty face time to share his forced cynical opinions on the issues.
Who is this jerk?

7. huh? i didn't know that |

in nyc he wasn't as much of an ass. he was a bit gruff, but at the time news anchors were still pretty much just reporting not editorializing

It was a "blast from the past" to be reminded of Jack Cafferty - and it reminded me how happy I am to have not to mentally deal with those a-holes anymore.
