After watching BBC International's coverage of the Mumbai |
|
slaughter and then watching Blitzer is enough to make one puke. Someone might tell Wolfie that well over 100 Indians are also dead.

1. Wolf is a human dial tone.... a droning, monotonous, dial tone. His |
|
belief that there cannot be one single second of quiet... ya know, when someone isn't blathering on and on and on... irritates the hell out of me. Other than that I think he is a fine person.

2. Blitzer spent 20 seconds on the mass deaths, 4 minutes on the dead Rabbi |
|
His priorities are all fucked up.

I was watching CNN-India Bureau, which has its own problems, but was WAY WAY more sensitive and "real."

4. rec. I love any post that encourages folks to seek out other sources |
|
for information. BBC is tremendous. And there are local sources too, with all their sloppy faults and so forth, but I love them and they are from the heart and often just as accurate.

7. I just spent a couple of weeks in Mexico. |
|
Watching both BBC and CNN. After a point, I didn't even bother with CNN.

9. Wolfie sounds like he's pushing this one big time |
|
I asked already - where is Dick? If one follows Wolfie, poor PE Obama will have a hard time undoing those terrorist laws. I smell a Big stink wolf/rat - I'm no longer sure.
Good point re some local sources.

6. The attackers were sophisticated enough to know to go after |
|
foreigners. The coverage would have been little more than background noise, otherwise.

I watch them every day. I can't be bothered with CNN and their biased coverage or even non-coverage.
