Besides, Blitzer is
just a talking head, he doesn't decide which stories to do.

Oh I forgot the CNN news tooth fairy selects the stories.


no, the Executive Producer decides what stories they do, moron.

Announcers are just talking heads. They just read teleprompters.

I didn't "jump".
You jumped.

----So, anybody who refutes a mindless claim "jumps"?

Any claim unless made by a liberal is mindless to you.
You immediately questioned why he was being called a
liberal,
----Indeed, so do I....I've never seen any bias either way from
Blitzer...have you?

That is cause you are blind.

---Examples, Dim?

and then felt compelled to post your baseless claim about
liberals being "smarter" - which displays a great deal of insecurity
on your part.

I simply asked Bill why he thought Blitzer was a liberal.
Because you are insecure and defensive.

I watch CNN regularly and never heard him make one single
comment to indicate he leaned either way.
Do you really think you'd be able to spot it if he did? And would you
admit it here?
---Waiting for examples of Blitzer's liberal bias....

SNL skit.

----Wasn't Blitzer's story Dim.....he read the report as written....
unless you can show me where he's credited as a writer or producer...
Any more, Dim?

And when he has guests and
panels he always allows all sides to have their say.
So do the hosts on FOX News, and yet they clearly lean to the right.
----Fox news deliberately edits their video and practices obfuscation
and half truths....they are nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Repub
party...

Just as CNN clearly leans to the left.
----Examples? Especially of deliberately altering video clips?

During the Bush presidency CNN regularly and frequently had former
officials from the Clinton adminstration on.

----Did they crop the video to change what the viewers would see?

They were the critics just as
Fox is today.


----There's a difference....Fox crops video and lies like the propaganda
machine they are...CNN had right wing cheerleaders on as well...and CNN
has nowhere near the pro admin slant that Fox News practiced in the
'00"s....

And then CNN put that idiot from the NYT on that insisted Bush was going
to bomb Iran and gave him a lot of time and credibility.


----What "idiot", Dim? No name? Might it be that "idiot" is way more
qualified than you to offer an opinion? Many strategists at the time
believed so, and the Cheny/Bush admin's history vis a vis the ME made the
scenerio entirely plausible...

Obama should bomb Iran right now with a surgical strike; but does not
have the balls.

----And if he did, the rightwingnuts would be wailing about how Obama's
warlike policies jacked the price of oil sky high....

Allowing people to have their
say does not automatically denote lack of bias.
---It does when you selectively edit what they say....

Or selectively pick who appears.

----Nah, Dim, CNN lets plenty of right wing nutjobs have their say....Orly
Taitz, teabag 'tards, you name it....

Gee they must not be a " legitimate news source" then. But then we all
know that only Repub guests lie. Well according to you anyway.

---It's well researched, Dim, on video as well....would you like some
examples?

Besides, Blitzer is just a talking head, he doesn't decide which
stories to do.
You don't think a leading news anchor has input into what stories they
do?

----Did they credit him for writing, producing, or directing?

Who exactly do you think the star of " The Situation Room" is?


---The star of a news show doesn't choose his subject material, Dim...did
you think that Katie Couric writes the Evening News?

Did Fox hire
Beck or the executive producer of his show?

----Beck is not news, Dim, it's entertainment....like the Gong Show was...

You mean like Obama does. He reads the teleprompter
and George Soros tells him what to say.
----Suuure he does, Dim....Soros was whispering to him through an
earpiece during all those debates....oooops, sorry, that was Bush
listening to Cheney...
