Blitzer: CNN's 'Dept. Of Jihad' Chyron Was Offensive

Translation: We're sorry if anyone was offended by our asshattery.

Cable news is the absolute epitome of a 'vapid wasteland'. The Home Shopping Network has more societal value than CNN.

Blitzer was one of the reasons I stopped watching CNN. If CNN is paying him more than minimum wage they're being cheated.

Blitzer: 'Senator McConnell says the world is flat, what about that Senator Dodd?"

Why the surprise? CNN is an alternative to FOX; FOX is "fair & balanced," ergo CNN is not. Snort.

There are those that say Wolf Blitzer is a child molester.

BREAKING NEWS: This just in, CNN's primary mission is to sensationalize regurgitated news from Drudge Report and other Republican talking point spewers!

Leaving aside the veracity of the rumor that Wolf Blitzer is a child molester for now....how damaging to his career would it be if found to be true?

Wolf may be blameless, but I have to think that CNN has some right wing employees that knew what they were doing.

Of course, they still don't recognize that the real problem is not that it was "offensive", but that they're promoting unbroadcasted right-wing advertising as news. CNN should be apologizing for being hacks in general.

The question about all of this...and not just for CNN...is if the Sunday morning TV folks will call Cheney and Kristol on this. Or are the two of them going to be treated as though they know something about Defensive Policy...which is a fantasy of the neo-cons.

Wolf can suck it.

"So poor. And so black."

Seriously, the guy is a douche.

All anyone need know about Wolfie is his STOOPENDOUS performance on 'CELEBRITY Jeopardy!'

CNN for the last decade or more has been deeply offensive and they regret any confusion this may have caused to our constitutional democracy...

cnn never been the same since aaron brown was fired.

What more can we expect from Wolf "Where was Jesus born? I lost bigtime on Celebrity Jeopardy" Blitzer, formerly of the 700 Club, presently of the "Never ask an Israeli government official a hard question" Club? Lacking either knowledge or balance he shouldn't be on the air.

"Regret any confusion"? CNN is becoming just like its sister network, Fox News. It seems that the MSM is becoming the propoganda voice for the Republican Party. Translation: Snicker,snicker, "I agree the graphic was offensive", but so what, F all of you who found it offensive.

He apologizes for the chryon, but what about the entire segment?

To approach that issue as though it were debatable marks Blitzer and CNN as conduits for extreme rightwing propaganda. To confer any merit to the ad is sick and repelling.

I know reasonable people who watch CNN, and this may motivate them to turn the channel.

So, how was what they did confusing ? Are the people at CNN saying that they are just a bunch of dumb fucks ? If so, I would have to agree with them.

i have turned the cnn channel as a new year's resolution starting january 1 and life has been so much more serene than having the antics of wolf blitzer and company. i am blessed to have josh marshall and his talkingpointsmemo plus jon stewart, stephen colbert, the british newspapers and al jazeera to keep me up on the news and events of the day. i also hope aaron brown will be available again.

I think getting a "Wolf Blitzer" s illegal in some states, kinda like tea-bagging. Child molesting is illegal in all states. Therefore, Wolfy is at best illegal in many states & more than likely in all.

Wolf Blitzer, AKA-Child molester.

Too funny on the blitzer child molester stuff. That is soooooo CNN. Like, "There are those who say you beat your wife, what do you have to say to them?" And on and on.

It really is disgusting and what is more disgusting is it is always, always, always, always false and unsubstantiated repuke talking points. It is never the facts or from the dem side, it is always repuke talking points. You can hear them over and over again. And then you have anderson bullsh*tter saying "we'll get the facts and you decide" on some bullsh*t talking point and guess what? They never do.

CNN is a terrible and has been playing on its legacy for almost a decade now. They are worse then fox because of that legacy. At least fox is "honest" and is proud to be a repuke propoganda outlet. CNN blatantly conceals that they are a right-wing propoganda outlet. Disgusting.

Finally CNN gets the coverage it deserves for being the absolutely center of the Republican Party's talking points and support of the entire party, they are the Republican's Party's best advocated

David Gurgen a pathetic looser, who since the Bush Administration's Fran joined CNN has become the Republican Party's Biggest Supporters and they have no shame.

CNN has been doing this for quite sometime and some of us were complaining but the Mainstream media just didn't pick up on their Right Wing views

John King married to Danna Bash and their Right wing talking points, Gloria BOrgier is just the worst and I noticed that very few Dems are showing up soemtime ago before we stopped watching this Republican FIXED NEWS STATION

I magine our surprise when CNN began using BIG BANNERS FOR THEIR RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN FRIENDS to announce the next topic

CNN has 20 Anaylsts sitting around 2-3 Tables giving their personal opinions nothing ever researched, no investigative reporting, just CHIT CHAT

With so many Americans being out of work, it must be nice to have 20 Pundits just talking trash

CNN never does it's homework, never ask the right questions and will bring on guests who they know are sponsors of the Republican Agenda and won't question them

The one guy who had the biggest Fraud and Abuse Claim filed against HCA while he was CEO came on CNN bashing the Administration

Richard Scott, "the former chief executive of HCA Inc," had formed the non-profit organization Conservatives for Patients' Rights as part of a "lobbying campaign[] to derail or modify" President Obama's health care proposals, but failed to note that Scott resigned from HCA in 1997 amid a federal investigation into the company's Medicare billing, physician recruiting, and home-care practices.

HCA eventually pleaded guilty to fraud charges and paid approximately $1.7 billion in fines and penalties.

CNN was very aware of his involvement in the BIggest Fraud and Abuse Settlement with the Department of Justice in history yet they refused to ask the guy any questions and let him go on and on about he Obama administration

This is what CNN does refuse to infrom the public of these schisters backgrounds and treat them as if they are ligitimate players and mislead the public

They let these guys go on and on as if they are ligimate and have clean hands

Campbell Brown and the crew every CNN analysts is guilty of this hiding the turth from the viewers

CNN is famous for hiding the turth about the people they interview and there have been many more that CNN refuses to question

CNN should take a page from Rachel Maddow she's the only person in cable who goes after the truth and nothing but the truth and exposes these schisters.

WOlfe interviewed Mit Romney and had a huge chart up showing that the Republicans pushed this economy in the toliet and was loosing jobs up to Millions a month and it showed that the Obama administrtion had stopped the bleeding and now only 36,000 per month are lost

Wolfe asked Mitt and he said no the Obama Administration did nothing to stop the bleeding it's called a recovery and it took care of itself and that would have happened no matter who was in office

What a dummy and Blitzer refused to call him on that lie

I don't watch anymore just tuned in to see if the backing of the Republicans with shameless coverage was continued and it was

So no CNN and our friends don't watch and we tell their friends not to watch

The only way to hold this CNN accountable is to stop watching

Since they can spend Millions on putting 20 analysts on one man President Obama everytime his name comes up and they sit around and Chit Chat about their personal views they can afford to do some real investigative reporting

But after all it's about the ratings, they simply don't check the facts

So SNL script of them this weekend was accurate they CNN don't check anything and can be PRANKED anytime for their lack of validation or even caring about telling the vieweres the truth.

CNN morning with Karen Chetry and John is absolutely pathetic same age old problem,

David Gurgen, by far the very worst with his buddy Fran from the bush administration

Fran was on and called the TSA Nominee who withdrew his nomination "A LIAR", "HE"S LYING SHE SAID" Anderson Cooper quickly changed the subject, she said the dems "HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR NOMINEE

Not one media outlet caught this interview, she was lying on the air protecting the Republicans with no shame, they BLOCKED this nominee and they keep talking about security but have been blocking the TSA head of Airport Security Post for months

Yea they are really concerned, the nominee withdrew his nomination because of the games being played by the Republicans and there' still no one in that slot

The Republicans were blocking the TSA Nominee because they said he would let the TAS become part of a union, that's because of low wages that are causing significant turnover and becoming part of the union would secure a better salary and benefits for those employees and thus improve the turnover

However Republicans could care less about the TURNOVER YOU KNOW THOSE VERY PEOPLE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING AIR TRAVELERS SAFE

WHAT A JOKE!
