24. Blitzer disgusts me more than McMorris

The far right are some kind of cult. Its not that I forgive them of their bigotry and mean-spiritedness but especially the Christofascist fundies are so programed and in fear of giving the Other side a leg up or they believe it will be the end of the world as we know it that they are willing to lie without even thinking.

But Blitzer is such a complete joke. He's been in the news business for what?..decades? And he's just as ignorant as he was when he started. Why should Earl have to give the retort that Wolf SHOULD have given?
Wolf works simply as a facilitator, he just gives them a platform to mislead the American public. A platform that, despite the ratings, is regarded generally as a long established credible news network. So viewers, especially those who are not as informed and get their news mainly from TV, are left with a notion that "hmmmm...I guess the GOP has the same position as the Dems on this...who knew?..."
