Did anyone witness Wolf Blitzer interviewing NASCAR man Waltrip this afternoon? When Waltrip praised Bush and criticized Kerry Wolf was really angry and blurted out something like, " At least Kerry went to Vietnam while Bush escaped by joining the National Guard."

These news-weenies expose themselves in small ways and big ways.

That was a pretty good-sized admission on Wolf Blitzer's part - maybe the largest I've seen, so far. But, he's never been good at hiding his distaste for conservatives - especially this President.

just another pathetically blatant example of liberal media bias...Wolf just can't seem to help himself...most would have at least managed to obscure their bias, but still make their point, in the wording of the followup question.

The MSM support of Kerry/ attacks on President Bush is worth about 15% of the vote --- the mindless or uneducated who still believe what the news reporters say and don't realize they are brainwashed.

This means that Kerry's support is actually up to 15 points less.

I wonder what would happen if the United States actually had an unbias news media?

I'm not a CNN person, but I happened to catch the exchange between Waltrip and Blitzer....and Blitzer's biased annoyance was a bit over the edge even for him.

Reminded me a bit of a race. Waltrip started out strong with "I know the politics/issues, but the man I want in the White House is a man I can trust", "a man who looks you in the eye when he shakes your hand". Blitzer tried to pass on the inside with the the standard "Kerry volunteered for combat, Bush just served in the National Guard". Waltrip went high, reminding Blitzer that those serving in the National Guard probably wouldn't take too kindly to those remarks. Blitzer came out of the turn a nose ahead with "the National Guard bears the brunt of the Iraq war" (neglecting of course that even so...they still favor Bush 3 to 1). Waltrip then just accelerated by him to take the lead and the win by forcefully expressing his overwhelming trust in George Bush the man. It was simple and profound. Blitzer looked a bit surprised at the outcome.

(Also, it appeared that Waltrip was thoughtfully twirling a pocket knife during the exchange...maybe it was a pen...still I think Blitzer should be glad that the interview was via satellite.) And I think I'd like to hear more from Waltrip on TV...he came across very well.

Did he say 'some have said that at least...' or just 'at least...' The difference matters because he is blatantly giving his opinion. We could efffectively raise holy h*** on the biased comment during a Presidential election. Must break their ethical code or whatever you call it, or they'd be that blunt all the time. Emails, anyone???
I've met Wolf Blitzer - he's a short little weasel.
