I've decided that Paula Zahn is the most
denigrating, sneering, hypocritical interviewer on cable or broadcast. She had this poor asshole on who was making political donors' names available on the Internet. Whatever your position on this, the lesson is that it deserves some reasonable consideration as to its merit. A discussion would be nice, you know, an intellectual exercise - something is lost however....

Instead, Zahn was so nasty, so rotten to this kid, using phrases like, "this is your 15 minutes of fame" and just generally sneering at him as though she's some great thinker and jurist of what should be occurring within and without the society. Her tone, her body language, her all-around nastiness was just so nauseating that I actually found myself feeling oh-so-sorry for this guy, whom I could care less about under other circumstances, just another profiteering techno-dweeb, it almost ruined my night. And then, and THEN, she THANKS him for coming on the show.

I can imagine her on a date: the poor guy can't get it up because she's so imperious and obnoxious, and then she gratuitously thanks him for a great night. "Thank you SO MUCH for taking me out tonight and showing me such a good time. Now a word from our sponsor, and then up next, Larry King doing his impersonation of The Mummy pitching softballs."

All these CNN creeps, so little time.

1. I do like CNN
But I agree with you about Paula Zahn. She regularly has that as you say 'sneering denigrating' attitude towards some guest. I dont like that.

2. How did she treat William Hung?
Like the greatest thing since "Joni's Butterfly", I'll bet, right?

She's no "Journalist", she's a "Celebrity Teleprompter Jockey"...

3. They took Aaron Brown off
and put her on. Brown has a 3 digit IQ and you could square Zahn's IQ and still have a 2 digit number.

4. Begala gave her a good swat upside the head on Friday.

Last Friday evening she was interviewing Begala and Tucker "Bow Tie" Carlson on her show over the Richard Clarke and Condi controversies and Begala mentioned that Condi was a liar. Paula almost fell onto her ass in shock (should've seen the look on her face) and Begala had to remind her about Condi's "misspeaking" about no one knowing hijacked planes could be used as weapons and he repeated the accusations of the FBI translator Sibel Edmonds that Condi was lying about what she knew about upcoming terrorist attacks.

Here's the best part. Tucker told her that if it was proven the White House had advanced knowledge of 9/11 he would vote for Kucinich. LOL The Dumbass apparently doesn't remember how he recently had to eat his shoes for making a rash promise on air.
