CNN's Wolf Blitzer has been warned not to focus Thursday's Dem debate on Hillary. 'This campaign is about issues, not on who we can bring down and destroy,' top Clinton insider explains. 'Blitzer should not go down to the levels of character attack and pull 'a Russert.'' Blitzer is set to moderate debate from Vegas, with questions also being posed by Suzanne Malveaux... Developing.
can you imagine what Hillary would look like if she did not have network interference ?
Maybe she has their FBI files? /sarc
Honestly, if she becomes President, we're as good as dead. Either she will kill us all, or they will.
the mental picture is just mind wrenching.
Just washed my moniter with Sprite, LOLOLOL!!! DING DING DING we have a winner.
or another way of looking at it....what if Hillary was the target of late night tv ?
Nobody threatened or warned him as the article on the Drudge Report states.
From the Drudge Report:
” Blitzer says he is not being pressured by any campaign: ‘No one has pressured me. No one has threatened me. No one is trying to intimidate me’...”
BTTT.
HAHAHAHA!
That’s the most ASSININE post with combo tag line I’ve EVER read on FreeRep! Congrats! (Now go away.)
Hillary has not CACKLED once since it was noted by the media a couple of weeks ago....she’s a quick learner.
Wolf will be afraid he’ll be Russerted.
The writer’s are on strike so late night tv will NOT be going after her....too bad.....maybe THAT’S why they are on strike!!
Now, that is funny! Thanks!
it’s easy to know what is gonna happen wednesday night....
Wolf will meet the challenge and ask necessary questions and Suzanne Malvioux will be Hillary’s backstop “against the boys”.
It will be Suzanne’s questions and follow-ups that will be the sound bite fodder.......
What will be interseting to see is ,will the dems fight back with Suzanne........cause they will have to
Wolf will become Wolfie and watch.......
But since we are under strict orders to not address anything to Senator Clinton, I will just have to assume that she is in favor of anything and everything the tax paying citizens can give to the illegal aliens!"
well Edwards is already in attack mode,especially when he wears his wife’s thong.
Osloppymama has media momentum, if another chink is gouged in Hillary’s armor,look out
me thinks sides will be drawn in this debate
“Media Matters for America offers the following suggested “don’ts” for Blitzer, Roberts, Brown, and Malveaux:”
According to a November 12 entry on CNN.com’s Political Ticker blog, the November 15 Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas will be moderated by CNN host Wolf Blitzer and will feature questions from CNN anchors John Roberts and Campbell Brown, while White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux “will facilitate audience participation.” On the assumption that CNN really does want to offer viewers of the November 15 debate “serious,” “specific,” and “precise” questions, Media Matters for America offers the following suggested “don’ts” for Blitzer, Roberts, Brown, and Malveaux:
Don’t contradict your own reporting and suggest that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) “cash[ed] in” on a stock deal in which he lost $13,000.
Don’t say that Obama’s position on Pakistan is “very much in line with what” President Bush says regarding Pakistan.
Don’t contradict your own reporting — again — and say that Obama, in following legal requirements to count purchasers of his campaign merchandise as campaign contributors, is “apparently using some creative math” and “overselling his grassroots support.”
Don’t misleadingly crop quotes when challenging a candidate’s consistency on a particular issue, as NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert did on the November 11 broadcast of Meet the Press, when he suggested that Obama has “not been a leader against the [Iraq] war.”
Don’t tell Obama that “[i]t’s difficult to say that you’re against the war and at the same time not say that you’re against the troops.”
Don’t suggest that former Sen. John Edwards’ (D-NC) work “for financial markets” might “contradict his anti-poverty message.”
Don’t adopt GOP framing and ask Edwards about his “flip-flop” on Iraq “to win the vote.”
Don’t ask about former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s (R) “pretty interesting” quip that “[w]e’ve had a Congress that’s spent money like John Edwards at a beauty shop.”
Don’t compare the “liberal woman” Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) to French Socialist Party presidential candidate Ségolène Royal, or suggest that the election of “conservative male” Nicolas Sarkozy as president of France will in any way benefit former New York City Mayor Rudy Giualini’s (R) bid for the U.S. presidency.
Don’t misrepresent exchanges from past debates, as Russert did during the October 30 Democratic debate when he asked Clinton, regarding Social Security: “Why do you have one public position and one private position?”
Don’t ask whether Clinton — but not former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) — is “going too far” and “politicizing 9-11” in her campaign ads.
Don’t purport to cite written documentation while misrepresenting it, as Russert did during the October 30 debate, when he falsely claimed that a letter written in 2002 by President Clinton “specifically ask[ed] that any communication between” him and the first lady “not be made available to the public until 2012.”
Don’t base questions on premises that contradict available polling data, such as whether the Clinton campaign — while leading all other candidates in head-to-head matchups — is “feeling desperate.”
Don’t hold Democratic and Republican candidates to differing standards regarding the Iraq war and the budget — for example, by repeating Republican attacks on Obama and Clinton for voting against an Iraq supplemental funding bill without noting that Republican candidates have also voted against Iraq supplementals.
Don’t attribute the “weird” 1994 chart created by Sen. Arlen Specter’s (R-PA) office to then-first lady Clinton’s proposed health-care program.
Don’t fail to disclose that your husband is an adviser to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Don’t promise “the kind of political insight and analysis that you simply can’t get anyplace else,” or “serious,” “specific,” and “precise” questions, then ask the candidates to respond to a series of questions by raising their hands.

Nah it can’t be.....Hillary is like Americas mommy.
“” Blitzer says he is not being pressured by any campaign: ‘No one has pressured me. No one has threatened me. No one is trying to intimidate me’...” .................... Can you hear me, Bill, Hillary, am I saying it right?
Hillary is a baby. If she can’t play with the big boys she needs to find another job...hey, maybe she could marry a President. ;)
I suppose if SHE becomes President she’ll just use her Secret Police to shut up her critics. She just has to bide her time until then.
