Did anyone else see Blitzer defend Howard Dean comments about CNN

[KoKo]

playing the "yeaaaaagh" speech 600 and something times! I wish I'd been at my keyboard because I'm in a state of shock!

They were promoing Wolf's interview with Dean. And the snarky CNN reporter said: "Wow, we were talking here in the studio and we thought Dean's answer to you was angry, did YOU feel he was angry?"

Wolf then went on at length saying "No, I didn't feel his answer was angry at all, Dean is very blunt spoken and we even joked about all the coverage the speech got later." He then said Dean has mentioned before that the speech got a lot of coverage and he has a right to his opinion." He said more about Dean not being angry, but I can't remember the sentences.....

I had to paraphrase, but it was Wonderful! Really!

And his later interview with Howard and Judy was also so interesting. It seems Judy is ready now to be a "First Lady." She's saying she realizes what a "full time job it is," but Wolf "kindly" threw her a line saying, "but I understand that you might want to have patients in the White House." Dean then smiled his gracious wonderful "light up your face smile" and said well yes her patients have thought about hiring a bus to go to the WH and Judy Dean...acknowledged that she's had requests from her patients asking if they could hire the bus to have her treat them.

2. Dean supporters have cited Wolf, Tweety, and MSNBC helping Dean

tonight? Do they have the best intentions for the Democratic Party in mind? Ask yourself. Be honest.

4. they have to at least appear to present both sides of the

issue because their ratings are probably slipping from the dean scream fiasco - and its ratings that top opinion.

5. They're just moving into position for the next shot.

They didn't manage to take him the first time. Too many people realized the "Scream Speech" bullshit was manufactured and it was becoming too apparent that the media had overplayed its hand.

Now's the time to play nice until they're in position to hit him again. Just wait, its coming.....

6. Oh, please...want me to cite Gore and Molly Ivins and Ann Richards, etc?

Tonite (surprise!) he was interviewed by more right-leaning media and did well. Well, enough, in fact, that the interviewers had only good things to say.

Turning this into a right vs. left issue would be petty.

3. It is nice to hear but their only

immediate objective is to keep things interesting for tomorrow's news. I don't take any words of encouragement from any of these corporate shills literally.
