Wolf Blitzer should be fired for making such blatant propaganda
I turned on CNNI today to see Wolf 'chatting' with Bush, standing in a corner by the window with the camera over his shoulder like you were somehow 'evesdropping' on a private conversation.

--lemme tell ya a secret--

I have never seen such blatant propaganda bullshit tactic on US TV. Sure they whore it up everyday, but this was just blatant manipulation.

Enough to make Leni Riefenstahl look like an amateur.

CNN, fire Wolf Blitzer, now.

1. Why? That's his job, dummy
CNN's only duty is to catapult the propaganda. That's been obvious for a while now. It's only saving grace is Jack Cafferty, and I'm suprised they haven't fired him yet

2. I don't care if it is their job as agents of the fatherland
There is a difference between catapulting the propaganda and blatant manipulation.

He crossed the line on this one.

All these manipulative pricks are in for a rude awakening, and soon.

Vote early, vote often.

9. Yep! That's why I stopped watching CNN during the 2002 elections..
It was totally apparent that they were pushing the repuke agenda. Can't stand the bitches. And Wolf is a disgusting wind-up doll.

8. Just like Leslie King, Jr. (Gerald Ford)?
I googled some pages about the Leslie thing, and I couldn't find anything conclusive.

It appears that possibly "Leslie Blitzer" was a typo that appeared in a transcript (maybe because Leslie Stahl was on the same show?), and that it stuck as a nickname among some bloggers, though some other people seem to believe it is his real name. Not really sure, though.

There's no mention of "Leslie" in his wikipedia entry.

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"
