Wolf Blitzer's Situation Room -- and Tabloid TV -- Gleefully Mocked by Saturday Night Live
I missed this when it came out during a recent rush of newshole fodder about Anna Nicole Smith. It is predictable yet slightly amusing for the first minute and a half, but be sure to watch past that point -- I'm still recovering from my coughing fit.

Wolf needs to GOOGLE 'Lucy Killea," who was denied communion by Bishop Mahur in San Diego because she was running for the state Senate as a pro-choice Democrat. Also check the record of Congressman from Mass who was a priest and voted as a pro-choice dem.
The "conservative talk-show host" was awful---why do you have these people on? He linked Abortion+dems+SHIP=bad. He's a propagandist only.
I'm not sure I understand what this comment has to do with this blog entry.
Shame on you Wolf Blitzer and all your anchors on CNN! Why? Because it's the media who keep negative things going. We assumed that after Obama's disavowal of Rev. Wright, that would be the end of it. But no--you and all your cohorts immediately put the matter back into the public's mind by speculating how long Rev, Wright would keep silent, or what he might say in reply to Obama's comments about him. You are baiting Rev Wright to speak out so that you will have more news to fill out your four hours in the Situation Room. All of you are pitiful--you, Anderson Cooper, Rick Sanchez, Campbell Brown and the rest of you! This certainly is NOT good journalism. We can do without your speculation on the campaign and on other matters. There was a time when journalists simply reported the news; but now, everyone has to bolster his ego by making people miserable and by keeping negativity going.
I repeat, you're all pitiful!

Shame on you Wolf Blitzer and your entire CNN team! All of you went out of your way to keep Rev. Wwright in the news, when for all intents and purposes he should have been dismissed after Obama's disavowal. All of you are pitiful!
