(I posted on this thread that Wolf was tied to Jerry Falwell...and cannot edit my post because time has expired...(I posted in haste..because I was running out to do errand) so to correct my mistake here's the scoop on his ties to Pat Robertson.

A Little Story About Pat Robertson, Wolf Blitzer, and David Corn

Does Wolf Blitzer Owe His Career to Pat Robertson?

This story isn’t earth shaking. It’s barely interesting. And it’s probably a waste of your time to read—especially in certain circles. It’s just that those “certain” circles are so damn smug! They are so sure of the rightness of their cause, if you know what I mean, that I can’t resist.

This essay is all about Pat Robertson’s mouth. He can’t help it. He was born with it! After that it’s about how Pat’s mouth keeps shooting off on CNN. First back in April of 2001 he went on CNN with Wolf Blitzer and encouraged the U.S. government to continue to build up its $70 billion trade deficit with China (while he had personal business with China) and he also seemed to endorse China’s crack-down on how many babies should be allowed to be born, which set off a hue and a cry from the anti-abortion troops in the US. Then let’s skip to the big whammy on August 22, 2005. That’s when Pat called for the assassination of Venezuela President, Hugo Chavez. Pat said:



“You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don't think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger and the United ... This is in our sphere of influence, so we can't let this happen. We have the Monroe Doctrine, we have other doctrines that we have announced. And without question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us very badly. We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.” (Media Matters)



After that there was a whole bunch of media denials, and wishy washy, mealy mouth stuff. But just two days later, Wolf Blitzer, did a show on Robertson’s remark. He had James Carville on one side and Greg Mueller on the other. Wolf Blitzer told his audience that James Carville worked as an opponent to the recall movement of Chavez, but failed to disclose that Greg Mueller’s public relations firm directly worked for Robertson’s Christian Coalition in the past. Media Matters called it, “Blitzer's not-so-full disclosure on guest's ties to Robertson.” Media Matters lists several doozies from Pat’s mouth to our ears:
