Things got awkward on CNN on Friday when anchor Wolf Blitzer seemed to criticize one of the network’s reporters over the quality of her White House sources.

In a dialogue with Gloria Borger, Blitzer told the veteran White House reporter that sources who told her that former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus would not be fired on Friday “are not good sources.”

Her defense was that hey, one source said he would fired and another source said he wouldn't. And then Blitz told her to find new sources.

LOL!!!

Gee, Blitzed, just finding out about fake news from bad anonymous sources?

Maybe she didn’t quite understand the concept. An anonymous source can say any number of things which can be neither proved nor disproved. But in this case, she reported something and it blew up in her face, and caused much embarassment to CNN. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

That Daily Caller site was not iphone friendly. Wasn’t able to close the popup ads which prevented me from reading the entire article.

It is an apparent meltdown at CNN.

I NEVER watch that station anymore, unless there is some sort of natural disaster.

But on the political side, fuggedaboutit. ;) (hope I am spelling that correctly! :) And by “that,” I mean the word “on.” LOL! ;)

2 to 1 odds that AT&T shuts down cnn after the merger.

I don’t think CNN will be shut down but I bet there is a major house cleaning in the months after the merger.

Trump needs cooperative employees who leak wrong information to reporters- always.

It’s just a little egg on the face. Liberal reporters should be accustomed to that by now.

Blitzer is a Fake News stooge, working at a Fake News Network. I stopped watching this plastic cut out of a journalist a long long time ago. Just watching him makes you realize why MSM died years ago. He is a POS and so are all the folks on his panel news presenters.

If Blitzer even CAN humiliate someone, his IQ has gone way up!

Borger lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband, Lance Morgan, a public relations executive. Her son is married to Mary Anne Huntsman, daughter of politician Jon Huntsman Jr.

If you go and evaluate the brand and the value of the network....it’s to a cheapen state and any Chinese billionaire could walk in and buy them for half of the value of 2010 era. Shutting won’t occur but I think we will be shocked to see them bought and repackaged in a year or two.

I’ve never understood how Borger ever became recognized as a reporter

Next to Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington (as Rush would say), there is no more respected Washington insider than Gloria Borger. Picking on her sources is like picking on Alan Dishwasher’s legal opinions. I don’t know what Wolfie was thinking but that wasn’t just some ditz he picked on.

Wolfie has no right to criticize anyone. He made his bones as the original “Baghdad Bob”, reading Saddam Hussein press releases from Baghdad as if they were God’s truth during the first Iraq war.
