CNN's Wolf Blitzer to Sit Down with Obama

Yes, you read that right. The same network, CNN, that Michael S. Malone recently wrote "...CNN, a network I'd already learned to approach with skepticism." (Link: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Story?id=6099188&page=2) So, Mr Malone writes that he'd "...learned to approach [CNN] with skepticism."

But, CNN is going to sit down with Obama on Friday! Here's that link: http://michellemalkin.com/2008/10/29/send-wolf-blitzer-your-questions-for-obama/

You'll notice Ms Malkin's title for the article: "Send Wolf Blitzer your questions for Obama." I happen to agree with that.

Why?

There are a few reasons. First, I think we're all aware by now that Linda Bloodworth-Thomason has said that MSNBC was "completely out of control." She was speaking about the blatant bias in MSNBC's election propagandizing (er...coverage.) But as recently as a few days ago, Mr Malone was writing that he'd learned to approach CNN "...with skepticism."

A few other polls and reports have placed CNN firmly "...in the mid 70's..." on the scale of 1 (far far right wing) to 100 (far far left wing.) 50 is neutral. CNN was "...in the mid 70's..." overall.

But Ms Malkin isn't alone in asking that you write CNN's Mr Blitzer to include questions to ask. If we don't, given that this is CNN, we'll probably get these types of questions:

"Mr Obama, we know that you've measured for the curtains in the Oval Office. But have you given any thought of pastels as a colour?"

"Mr Obama, we know that your daughter likes to watch the Disney Channel as well as Nickelodeon. Will she have a TV in her room?"

"Getting back to pastels, they'd look wonderful on a new dress for your wife."

IF and I do mean IF Mr Blitzer dared to ask a hard question, he'd probably spin it thusly:

"There are those that say that your policies amount to Socialism. How do you respond to these outrageous and completely unfactual, and - dare I say - racist, statements?"

I'm now quoting from Ms Malkin's article:

"Viewers can submit questions for Obama online at www.iReport.com/Obama.

Or contact Blitzer here.

Will he dare to ask about the Khalidi Jew-bash? Ohio’s raid on Joe The Plumber’s records? The Obama campaign’s credit card fraud racket?"

Unless you demand that Mr Blitzer will, he won't. And even then, he might spin it.

I did write Mr Blitzer and signed my name. If CNN is competent in the least, it'll lead them right back here. And my writing hasn't been very friendly towards the press or Mr Obama.

I wonder how long it'll be before somebody pulls my records?

3...2...1...
