Wolf Blitzer, drama queen, turning news into US-vs.-them fantasy thriller

[SeveneightyWhoa]

Admittedly a bit of self-promotion here (don't hold it against me), but nonetheless, I've scraped up a blatant example of the Evils of Blitzer.

Excerpt:

You may have noticed above my highlighting of a certain instance of Blitzer's ferociously pro-Bush biaspin (bias + spin; you saw it here first), which is often all too apparent on The Situation Room. In Blitzer's odd world of reporting, Bush is offering "a vision of peace to the world's Muslims and to the Iranian people" -- which is a laughable statement from a "journalist" who has been covering Bush's entire aggressive presidency -- while the Iranian leader is a menacing, nuclear demon, about to thumb his nose at the world at the UN. No matter that the facts don't correlate with Blitzer's always-Neo-Connish propaganda dissemination (sorry, reporting). He must've dreamed Ahmadinejad's speech during his pre-broadcast beauty sleep, after studying up on the latest RNC press releases and his pre-nap reading, The Weekly Standard, Attack Iran Now! The Magazine, the Protocols of the Elders of Ahmadinejad, and other such apparent Blitzer favorites.

And to our readers, you're in the Shituation Room.

1. Drama queen is such a good description for him...

Part of his never-ending struggle for legitimacy. If he only knew how absolutely useless he is.

[QuestionAll...]

is right up there as the worst 'journalist' (ha, I have to Laugh) traitor.

4. Before the US dollar begins its free-fall....

he wants to make sure viewers are getting their money's worth in the mega-spectacular WWIII extravaganza.

5. He will wolf another one down, for the GOP! and another and yet

another...

The Woofer and The Tweetey are the main two way speaker system for Karl's Fractured Fairy Tales of prince Bushco and his merry petro-fascists who MUST WIN at any cost to you and me! Gawd told them it was kkkool!

6. Wolf has been pushing a war with Iran for months

Out of all the corpo-whores, this one makes me the most ill.

He uses that phony "what I'm about to say is very, very urgent" tone of voice whenever he prods a guest to comment on the 'military option' (nice avoidance of the word WAR) with Iran. He sounds so excited just mentioning the prospect of a war with Iran he looks like he's crapping his tiny pants in joy.

He's been doing this for the last 7-8 months and you have to wonder just where this 'urgent' focus is coming from - I'm guessing his neocon friends in the White House. He's such an obvious propagada tool it would be funny if the results weren't so tragic.
