Wolf is getting it....Jack is getting it....we KNEW this was going to

[NRaleighLiberal]

be a catastrophe! Cafferty is bring up the fact that most people there are black and poor!!!!

Finally...who is listening? Who is going to finally get it???

[kerry-is-my-prez]

1. Even Wolfie??!!

n/t

[Qibing Zero]

13. Yes, he said a nice little bit about how we did know this could happen.

He said it to jack before jack mentioned the race and class question. He mentioned how there was a ton of scientific writing laid out beforehand that predicted exactly what could happen.

[LordBinkyTheBuffoon]

2. Wolfie

Seemed to agree.

[Armstead]

3. Anyone get a video of Cafferty rant?

[Rhiannon12866]

21. I'm looking for that, too. Just missed it, arrghh!

I'm hoping that Olbermann will carry it. Unfortunately, both "The Daily Show" and Al Franken are in repeats this week, of all times! But I'm sure somebody will find it and post it on DU. Meanwhile, Wolf just announced he's going to have more with Cafferty.

I'm e-mailing CNN, praising Cafferty's remarks! We need to stand up for this guy who is finally speaking out!

25. Hope so.

I missed it also.

[spuddonna]

4. Really?

Dammit it's about time! Do you know if there's a transcript yet?

[mshasta]

5. wolf the freaking ass????

wow ...but for how long???

[stop the bleeding]

6. I know it's unbelievable,

I keep waiting to see pigs flying in a frozen over Hell because it happened on CNN today.

[Don Claybrook]

7. is wolf really getting it?

I don't have cable, but I've already written this Cafferty guy just to add my name to the list. Is Wolf Blitzer actually starting to understand?

[stop the bleeding]

12. somewhat.

[whistle]

8. Finally, the race issue regarding which victims get government ...

...help is exposed by some MSM!

[Senator Lamb]

10. Wolf: "so poor, so black"

[Bouncy Ball]

9. Wolf just said

"they're so poor, and they're so black and this is just unbelievable."

No what's unbelievable is that Wolf just said that.

That's a direct quote, word for word, I just heard it.

[smbolisnch]

11. Wolf just said "These people are so poor, and so black."

Seems like a strange way to put it, but at least they are getting it. They are not kissing *'s feet anymore.

[faithnotgreed]

24. that is my response - weird way to put it but at least its said

by wolf of all people

[Just Me]

14. What role is race and class playing in the Gulf tragedy?

:wow:

[whistle]

18. The role of who has received help quickly and who hasn't...

[onecent]

15. I just wrote jack at [e-mail] and told him how great

I think he is!!!!

[Bouncy Ball]

16. I didn't use the word great,

but I wrote him and told him I really appreciate what he's saying.

[AX10]

17. Finnally the media gets it.

[notadmblnd]

19. now all they need to do is bring up the fact that funding was cut

for improving the levee system of NO and diverted to the middle east.

[Neverarepublican]

20. How long before they will be told to shut up?

[Vinca]

22. I've been watching MSNBC most of the day and the anchors

have been near tears. This is a major turning point as far as MSM goes. All of a sudden they're getting it.

[faithnotgreed]

26. i hope so - maybe because tragedy is up close and happening right before

all our eyes
that even they cant turn away

except maybe paula zahn but what matters is that people get help
what will matter is that people with any power - media - are outraged and screaming for help for fellow humans

[fooj]

23. It is time to get angry! They know it!

Peace.

[mikeytherat]

27. It cannot be denied

Unlike excursions to the "all is well" Green Zone in Iraq, these journalists on the ground in N.O. are seeing the ugly truth close-up and personal. And no amount of spin from the blow-dried bots (who are safe, warm, hydrated and far removed from danger) can "cut" the reality of what they are seeing.

I'd love to see some of the edited exchanges between those reporters on the ground and the drones back in the studio!

28. Cafferty "I'll probably be audited by the IRS for the next several years..

...but I don't care."

He'll be lucky if that's all that happens to him. He probably won't even have a job or wages to tax...
