Aside from working for Falwell, is Blitzer denying his Gayness?
Edited on Mon Jul-31-06 07:10 PM by KoKo01
At the infamous DC "Washington Correspondence Press Club" extravaganza he showed up with "Pittsburg Stealer's Super Bowl" winner star in tow...and paused for a moment to appear before the camera.

Wolf Blitzer and "Super Bowl Star" interviewed along with Valerie and Joe Wilson? Appearing at the same event where Stephen Colbert TRASHED the MEDIA's reporting on Bush's violations of the Constitution of the United States?

Where are Wolf's loyalties? :shrug:

Why did NO MEDIA report this? Should Wolf be "Outed?" or is it not somewhere we should go because he's so important to CNN?

Not looking to hurt someone here.. But..shouldn't we "the people" know the motivations of those "Powerful Media Stars" who feed us our news..???

8. Nope....but it's good to know more about our News Folks in how they
might let their own experiences get into their reporting. Have you seen Blitzer or CNN Championing Gay Rights or have they treated it like they do "Stem Cells" and "Right to Choose" where they always have seemed to support Bush.

If he's Gay why isn't he Proud of it? Why aren't you proud of him if he's gay and is taking a stand on issues that you care about the same as I would hope CNN would support a more balanced view of Women's issues?

Remember that CNN canned their Women's Issues Segment just after Bush was "Selected" and now they only cover womens health about Osteoporosis and for Men "viagra" through their commercials. :shrug:

I think American Media viewers and readers are intitled to know as much about those who "report our news" as they "do about us" with their endless surveys and constant pushing of stuff on us in that 18 to 49 Demographic.

Can you think and try to understand where I'm coming from, here?

9. Read my post #8 to see where I'm coming from on this....okay?
before you close your mind thinking I'm a basher of some kind. We are just finding out that Congressmen are employing wifes and brothers, sisters and "buddies" in "shell companies" where they make profits (on he side) by putting "earmarks" in to our Legislature Bills befor Congress.

Apparently DC is one big Nopotism Scheme where "Friends, Family & Lovers" are all employed making huge bucks out of their "CONNECTIONS."

I don't remember anyone being too upset about the exposure of Jeff Gannon's many vists (logged with Secret Service) to the White House and how that was a big story that someone in the Bush Admin...just might have been having "overnights."

If Gannon or Monica reflected on a Presidency...then what about what's going on in our Media and in DC with the embedded Lobbyists, Call Girls being ferried to the Watergate and other hotels by Shirlington Limo in the "Hookergate" scandal.

That's what I'm trying to talk about. :shrug:

14. I did read it, 3 times. You must realize I am an idiot and I need some
things explained to me like I'm seven. Is that possible? Thank you!

11. huh?
Are you trying to suggest that Wolf Blitzer is dating one of the Pittsburgh Steelers? Which one? If you can provide a name for me, this'll be one of the funniest DU threads ever.

15. The OP said "Stealers" which might be something entirely different.
Hey, I'm just sayin'...I'm as much in the dark as you are.

13. What did you expect to find? How far did you have to run through Google
to find out he worked for the Religious Right? BTW...He worked for Pat Robertson's RW Christian Media way back as a "cub reporter." I needed to correct Falwell. but can't edit and I was running out the door.

I know you will say: "Well, fuck it...you got Falwell wrong so what the Fuck else did you get wrong?" :D Just paraphrasing your query you were ready to post to me.

16. If Wolfie's gay...I say go for it...I hope he is...
otherwise, I don't give a shit. It's his job we should be bitching about...not his sexual orientation.
