Wolf Blitzer Demonstrates Bias Again (vanity)
CNN Sunday Morning Blitz ^ | 9/28/2008 (vanity) | wildbill

On his Sunday show today, Blitzer interviewed the new President of Pakistan. He showed bias in his choice of only a film clip of Palin's interview statement on Pakistan. No similar clip from Obama.

Basically she states that if we have impeachable intelligence on jihadist terrorists in the Pakistan border area we should go across the border to root them out.

Then he asked the President of Pakistan what he thought of the candidates's views without showing the statement of Obama that we should bomb them.

This is wrong on so many counts. First, by only showing Palin's clip, the President of Pakistan had to respond to that clip.

And of course no new President of a beleaguered nation is going to approve of a raid into its territory and against soverignity. No doubt this translated into a criticism of Palin alone to most viewers without any understanding of Obama's possibly more violent quote.

It is wrong on another count in my opinion to put the President of another country into the position of commenting on American politics. This is not only rude, but tremendously biased on the part of Blitzer and CNN to ask for what amounts to a negative reaction to only one of our political process, putting the Pakistan President on the spot.

I was just watching Blitzer for a minute when he said “next we will have our popular segment of the Sunday shows roundup” and I thought - yea it's popular because you are not in it!

yeah. I guess I’m subliminally into impeachement of Barney Fwank and Chris Dodd and some of those Dems in Congress who used the full faith and credit of the US in constructing the original giveaway rules and now want everyone to forget.

Someone should direct the President to the debate video and let him see who says they will send troops in to Pakistan. Although he probably was intelligent enough to watch if he is bright enough to be in his position.

Ah, give buttman a break. I sure he was doing something more important to him, like bending over or on his knees.
