1. Well Stephen...

Aren't you a busy little boy. Better throw this into the mix -

"But the most surprising part of the segment came when CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer repeated a claim by Russia’s United Nations Amb. Vitaly Churkin that Nazi sympathizers have taken power in Western Ukraine, for the sake of clarifying that there has, in fact, been inflammatory rhetoric coming from Russia. Amanpour pounced on this comment and admonished Blitzer for repeating that charge.

“You’ve got to be really careful putting that across as a fact,” Amanpour said. “Are you saying that the entire pro-European Ukrainians are anti-Semites? That’s what the Russians are saying and that’s what Professor Cohen is saying.” Blitzer did not seem pleased with the lecture."

2. 'Busy little boy?'

Blitzer in the mix? WHO if anyone is actually saying 'the entire pro-European Ukrainians are anti-Semites?'
