Media Matters has issued a list of "don'ts" for tonight's CNN debate:

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.

"tighty Whities".

you're most likely right...

I heard the expression from my kids :o)

[papasmurf]

Depends.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

So what.

The media has always taken its marching orders from the Dems.

Nothing new here.

You really think Blitzer would give up his salary to be the White House Spokesperson? LOL!!!!!

It's outrageous and criminal that Media Matters is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

It's so way past time to reform the nonprofic corp. laws in this country. These people should pay taxes like every other business.

He might for a couple of years, sure. He’s been making 7 figures long enough to be able to make a mere $150k for a half term (then leave, write a book, and the rest).

depends... good one!!!

Headline on Drudge:

Blitzer on Hillary: 'If she can't handle the heat... wait until Republicans really start going'...

[rwa265]

What does Rush call it? The media wing of the Democrat party?

[popdonnelly]

Blitzer can ask whatever he wants, and Media Matters can’t do a famous thing about it.

[KC Burke]

If we could just get someone with a really strong stomach to watch the whole thing and log the questions against the list....

My gag reflex is too vulnerable for me to do it.

[stevem]

I think I’ll take a pass on the debate this evening.

Media Matters, proving beyond reasonable doubt, that they are a partisan political organisation, and not only be stripped of it’s non profit status, but it’s executives should be prosecutrd for all their violations of the Law.

“It does not have to be from Scrappleface to be a joke.”

It isn’t a joke. It actually is from Media Matters.

Blitzer can’t finesse this. Either he gives her as tough a time as the others or else be considered a gelding.

[VRWCTexan]

The list of well-known liberal “media” types that swing into and out of “political” (i.e. US gov’t / taxpayer) funded positions on 2 to 4 year cycles is miles long....

[LadyNavyVet]

Good analysis. Hillary has very unwisely put Blitzer in a untenable position. No one who fancies himself an objective journalist (Yes, I know he’s not, but they all like to think they are.) appreciates being lectured to like this. If Clinton, Inc. keeps up this arrogance with the media, they’re going to regret it.

[Osage Orange]

he does have his professional reputation to think about

Reputation?????

ROFLOL!!!!!!

Professional?????

BAAWAAHHHAAAA..!!!

[Tzimisce]

In the spirit of open and honest debate, don’t ask any of the following....

[Osage Orange]

The guy’s been cut....long ago.
