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."
e-mail from WHO? Anyone who would actually be offended isn't watching CNN anyway. They're over at Fox. bwhahahaha!!!
There is a new reality show based on the MSM: Last Cynic Standing. Jack Cafferty hopes to be in the finals.
But no viewers.
The commentator on CNN who looks like Droopy.
Insult potential audience. Not a formula for success. This is the attitude that helped CNN slip, and made Fox possible.
I just LOVE Steve Harrigan...good to know I am not the only one!
I am afraid if I post his e-mail address my computer will blow up! LOL
Seriesly, I don't have it.
Maybe it is www.telljackoff.com??

Stupid is as stupid...talks. Jack.
His remark has the intellectual capital of, "Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah," "Your mother wears combat boots," and "I know you are, but what am I?"
This guy never grew up.
I can imagine the condescending remarks this ass-clown would have for a Fox anchor with such a history.
As is common practice, though, when you're one of the liberalfascist establishment, it is treated as if it never happened.
I would assume that would be most all of them. I don't think I've watched CNN in nearly two years. I think I removed it from my TV.
Cafferty is a drunk; King is embalmed; and Turner wants to be buried in Lenin's Tomb - on top of Lenin!

Wow! I never knew that (if a politician had done this it would have led the newscast every night for two years running!Amazing how reluctant journalists can be about airing their colleagues' dirty laundry) Although I think he was hired originally to fill the "cantankerous contrarian" slot to boost the network's ratings & promote the "appearance of ideological diversity" in the newsroom, he's turned out to be a pretty sad joke.I always suspected that he might have a problem with drinking on the job (he slurs a lot and can often be totally incoherent, even by CNN standards) but I assumed his bosses would make sure someone else would drive him home. I cycle so this would be my worst nightmare... If I have to leave this world, please don't let it be at the hands of some drunken Chicken Noodle Network Hack.(I don't hate everyone at CNN,honestly, Miles O'Brien's actually pretty decent in fact, but John Roberts positively makes my stomach turn, so they've lost me entirely & forever for fear I'll even get the slightest glimpse of him on a promo & lose my lunch.)
bttt
you should send this to Rush!
In reality .. Rush Limbaugh has a higher rating than FOX for people who are seeking "hard news".
Those can't be real!
They MUST be photoshop doctored...
Right?
