ON YAHOO! Blitzer is rated as GOP Hypocrite of the Week (re Gannon)

[BigBearJohn]

CHICAGO, Feb. 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following commentary was released today by BuzzFlash.com:


Let's see: last week's BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week, Howard Kurtz, was connected to the prior week's Hypocrite, Jeff Gannon/Guckert, and this week's honoree is connected to both of them.


Now, we're not implying that the sartorial CNN star, Wolf Blitzer, had a military studs' romp with Gannon/Guckert while on a "date" to view the moonlit Iwo Jima War Memorial. But boy, Blitzer sure joined Kurtz in going out of their way to make Gannon/Guckert appear to be a victim of an overzealous mob of Internet bloggers and websites like, well, BuzzFlash.


Blitzer, ever the polite one when dealing with a sensitive issue that might blow up in the face of the White House, had Gannon/Guckert on his CNN program. What was Wolf's first question? How about, "Should I call you Jim or Jeff?" And from there the questions got even more soft ball for the GOP shill by day, gay military hooker by night.

5. press releases don't officially get rated

They still have the ratings thingie on the bottom, but they don't tally the votes.

4. gave it a 5.

We should send it to blitzer. He's number 1!

6. CNN in damage control. They trot Kurtz out today to defend bloggers on

Judy Woodruff's "Inside Politics". Of course they had another guy "debating" Howie and getting in the anti blog talking points they agree upon before the segment.

Howie comes off as a champion of the blogger community a week after he tries to discredit them for their story on Gannon.

Another CNN dog 'n pony show for public consumption.

7. It's a press release and it seems you can't rate them even

though they have the ratings link there. No matter how many people rate it is will show each one being the first.

Yahoo needs to fix that, imo, either allow rating or take the rating link out.
