Wolf Blitzer: "CNN did a SOLID JOB" (in run-up to Iraq War)

[Bluebear]

"In hindsight you can always do better but I think we did a solid job!"

:puke:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

1. Blitzkrieger was one of the war's biggest cheerleaders

I remember when they showed the bombs falling during shock and awe. It was like they were covering a fireworks display for the 4th of July.

[sammythecat]

20. I remember too.

It was disgusting. Just disgusting.

[katty]

2. yes, a SOLID job in Selling the War, mission accomplished CNN!

[trof]

22. SOLID? Naw...HECKUVA JOB, WOLFIE!

[boobooday]

3. And then he turned around, and stuck out his chest

So smug.

Sorry about all you dead people and everything, but we did a solid job.

4. "Besides, Jesus has already forgiven us.*" - Wolfie

"That's right. Jesus forgave Sen. Larry Craig (R) for his men's room hijinks, he forgave Sen. David Vitter (R) for having diaper sex with hookers, and he forgives all of us corporate republicon propagandists for lying to the American people. So shut up and sit down. Smirk."

- Yr, 'trustworthy' corporate republicon propagandist pal, Wolfie

[DJ13]

6. Are you sure Wolf believes in Jesus?

[SpiralHawk]

15. Belief doesn't matter for republicon propagandists.

Jesus forgives them all just the same because republicons, their cronies, and their corporate media propagandists are all 'special.'

28. of course, that is every Evil Rat Bastards back door outa hell, there are Atheists in Foxholes, but

none in politics.. Look at Tony Snow, got both feet in the grave, sit'n on the edge.. still stands up for that pathetic wet brain alcoholic weaselly psychotic sociopathic kleptocrat... AWOL-COWARD WAR MONGER

THEY ALL THINK THEY CAN ABSOLVE THEIR SINS AT THE LAST MOMENT

'a story'..
Dubya lives a long life and dies.. he gets to St Peters Gate..
St Peter looks in Santa Claus's big book and sees that Dubya, in spite of all his wealth and Privilege had only done one humanitarian thing in his long life..

so St Peter tells Dubya to wait, and goes to gOD and explains the situation, gOD asks what was the one good thing he did for someone else..

St Peter replys.."When Dubya was 5 years old his mother was really drunk in church and gave young Dubya a Quarter to put in the Poor box on the way out of church..

gOD thought about it for a moment then said.."Give him his Quarter back and tell him to go to hell".

5. his name is not Wolf Blitzer, his name is LIAR.

[ORDagnabbit]

7. who was a paid propagandist for AIPAC for years? oh thats right wolf blitzer...

[EFerrari]

8. LOL!

:rofl:

[girl gone mad]

9. Lol. They are in so much denial.

The rise of the blogs over the past 5 years is directly attributable to the MSM's many failures during the run up to the war and since. Nobody I know under the age of 35 trust the media. Their reputation was destroyed.

[magellan]

10. Yeah, a solid WASTE job

:hurts:

[Brigid]

11. OK, so . . .

how many of us knew better, in spite of the endless cheerleading in the run-up to this war? Give me a break, Wolfie. :eyes:

[Ichingcarpenter]

12. Wolf Blitzer: "CNN did a SORDID JOB"

Blitzer worked for the CIA when he worked for the Jerusalem Post.

[devilgrrl]

13. You keep telling yourself that Leslie!

douchebag!

[City Lights]

If Wolf is talking about cheerleading for the war, I agree.

Otherwise, please pass the barf bag...

[bhikkhu]

14. Trust an idiot to review the work of idiots

And that's about what you get. Right back at ya' - "Heckuva job, Wolfie"

[featherman]

16. The McCNN network did a solid job... of deception

[sam sarrha]

17. they did do a solid job of Propagandizing international War Crimes, Crimes against humanity, using

WMD's made of toxic heavy metal Uranium, 1000 tons..

damn good job

[NRaleighLiberal]

18. Yes, Brian Williams trotted out Brokaw to make the same pronouncement -

"in hindsight, we could have done better, but trusted people we telling us what they thought was the truth....and where was congress? remember only 22 of them voted against the war" - typical bullshit. Why were do many of us here so smart? Why weren't the media as smart as us?

[sammythecat]

19. Fuck Wolf Blitzer. At best, he's a spineless coward.

All, that is, ALL of the mainstream television press that I saw during that time did absolutely nothing but promote this bastard invasion. I'll never forget that. It was just appalling. I know it, we know it, and they know it, but they will never, EVER, admit that. NEVER.

95% of the MSM, from the owners to the reporters, are just as guilty as everyone in this administration. Maybe my history isn't as complete as it should be, but I think more damage has been done to this country in the past 8 years as has ever been done. The fortune that we didn't have, don't have, and won't have for a long time to come is because of the craven and abject failure of the press to do their job. That's just the money, and that doesn't even include the even greater loss of treasure to Iraq. The worst, of course, is the many, many, tens of thousands of lives snuffed out or totally ruined because these fucking shits didn't do their jobs.

FUCK wolf blitzer. I hope history doesn't neglect the part he and the other cowards like him played in this tragedy.

[pdxmom]

21. He lost me at "....I think...." N/T

[Lex]

23. LOL!

:thumbsup:

[Bob Dobbs]

24. Front of the guillotine line for Leslie.

The People will not forget.

[johnfunk]

25. A solid job of brown-nosing George Bush Jr. and his boss Cheney's agenda

Heckuva job, Wolf!

[Crunchy Frog]

26. Yes, a solid job in propagandizing for the Bush administration.

[baldguy]

27. CNN's job is *not* to be a stenographer for the Bush Regime.

As a news organization, they SHOULD HAVE exposed the lies about Iraq's WMDs. They SHOULD HAVE reported extensively about the Downing Street memos. They SHOULD HAVE investigated Ahmed Chalabi.

If CNN had done a "solid job", Bush would be in jail and we'd be dealing with President Pelosi.

[Dukkha]

29. solid as in a solid piece of shit!

You knew your Faux lite network would profit in ratings from a war so you did everything you could to sell it.

[librechik]

30. Then, Wolfie, you won't mind responding in detail to the MILITARY ANALYST STORY

which you continue to black out.

just for one example, you hairy faced idiot.
