CNN's Jack Cafferty Again: "The Dumb Ones Watch Fox"
MediaBusters ^ | John K.

Posted on 06/22/2006 6:23:49 PM PDT by jsk10

The latter seems to be the strategy for CNN’s Jack Cafferty. Shortly before 5pm EDT on the June 22 The Situation Room, Cafferty made this remark to substitute host John King after reading viewer responses to his question of the hour:

John King, substitute host: "Jack, I’m glad they always tell you exactly what they’re thinking."

Cafferty: "And, and they’re pretty smart, too."

King: "Yes they are, yes they are. Thank you very much–"

Cafferty: "The dumb ones watch Fox."

King [laughing]: "Ouch! Ouch, ouch, that’s going to bring some more e-mail."

I thought a "Jack Cafferty" was something my protologist took care of for me last time I was in...

Well, you can't blame him - he is just following in the footsteps of Al "I-consider-myself-to-be-a-comedian-even-if-no-one-laughs" Franken and Keith "if-only-I-had-as-many-viewers-as-O'Reilly" Olbermann. They have to deride someone who is doing well in order to attempt to pull themselves out of the rathole.

Does anyone really listen to hit-and-run Jack these daze?

I wonder how much out-of-pocket he had to pay to that NY city biker he winged in his big bad Cadi.

The Stone-age press is the only industry that thinks it can insult 50% of their customer base and still survive.

Isn't is amazing what they can do with people like this today? Just a few years ago he would only be able to leave the home for therapeutic walks twice a week. Now he has his own show and 78 people actually watch him. Of course most of them are family and home staff members but it IS a start.
