CNN's Jack Cafferty Again: "The Dumb Ones Watch Fox"

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."

"Isn't Cafferty that drunk who committed a hit and run in New York?
Yes, after having dragged the biker several blocks,this drunk tells the judge he was unaware he had hit anyone. Just the kind of thug Dick Parsons wants working at CNN.

We have CNN on here at work, much to my dismay, and I'm almost tempted to write that curmudgeon a snippy email just to see if he or one of the dime a dozen producers at CNN will either read it or write me back.

I love angering liberals who bloviate.

And Jack Cafferty is WHO exactly??

This from the network that wouldn't know true objective investigative journalism if it bit them in the rear.

Hey CNN (and leftists in general) if Iraq wasn't a threat then how come we had to destroy another couple thousand armored vehicles? Where did those T-72s, T-55s, BMPs, BRDMs, etc come from?

And here Mr. Cafferty, read "Weapons of Mass Destruction Found" and then ask yourselves why Pravda and the BBC are scooping you on accurate tallies of what was found in Iraq. Look for references to the thwarted VX nerve gas attack by Zarquawi targeting Amman Jordan in 2004 (in case anyone wonders why the Jordanians were so hot to kill him). Why is it the BBC is the only agency to run more than a "Page 12" story on this??? Why didn't your "investigative journalists" uncover that Saddam's Iraq was the ONLY Middle Eastern country to ever import (from the USSR) or produce VX gas???

Then wonder why the only reason you get ratings is due to CNN playing in airports, gyms, and other areas where people are not allowed to change the channel.

He doesn't know: If you aren't sheep, this guy doesn't even know you exist.

Jack is SO intimidated and frustrated by FNC. The idiot.

[nypokerface]

The irony about this statement was that he worked for the local Fox station here in NY a couple of times.

"Jack who? "

Same here. Never heard of the guy, I guess that makes me "dumb" lol.

Isn't Cafferty that drunk who committed a hit and run in New York? Yes, after having dragged the biker several blocks,this drunk tells the judge he was unaware he had hit anyone.

I didn't know that...must be why, when I emailed him a few months back that he was coming across as a sleazy bar room drunk, I got a one word reply: "Classy".

Funny...it popped up in my inbox within 2 minutes of sending it - the phocker was still on the air!

Cafferty: "The dumb ones watch Fox."

Nice way to rationalize your unpopularity. Most people must be dumb!

[exit82]

If the dumb watch Fox, then only the brain-dead watch CNN.

Turn Jack off.

[RDTF]

How can he keep getting away with this?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Ha! Silly me, i thought cnn went off the air years ago.

[RDTF]
