Wolf Blitzer is a big fat pussy

And so are all the other so called "journalist" on the idiot box. Seriously, what is up with these people? This evening I heard an excerpt of Wolfie's so-called interview with Dick Cheney on NPR. The last statement that Mr. VP made was that the world is much safer since the US ousted Sadaam Hussien. Care to guess Mr. Blitzer’s response. It went something like this “uuhhh….” How difficult is it to say something like, “That’s a pretty bold statement Mr. Vice President. Would you care to point to one single piece of empirical evidence that supports that statement? Can you provide us with one single, solitary objective measure that you used to quantify that claim? How exactly did you measure the “safeness” of the world prior to March 2003? What data have you gathered that shows that this “safeness” index has increased? Come on, I’m not asking for much. Just one. One stinking measly minute spec of evidence to support that.” I’m sure if someone actually had enough gumption to actually ask him questions like that, he would simply say “Well, common sense would tell you …” or “It’s just obvious …” bullshit, Bullshit, BULLSHIT! When he was the CEO of a corporation, he had to supply his investors with commonly accepted measures of the performance of his company every quarter. If the measures met or beat expectations, he got his bonus. If they didn’t, he still got a bonus. But it was a little smaller. If he went to his board or his stockholders and said, “This year was much better than last year.” They would say, “Prove it”. Why do we settle for anything less? Why do “journalists” settle for anything less. How can that be an answer to a question? Nebulous statements like “We are winning in Iraq” and “The media only focuses on the negative” and “Real progress is being made” are the reason we are stuck in Iraq with no good way out. No one challenged these statements. In fact, no one in the administration has ever compiled a list of all the “positive” things that have occurred in Iraq since the “liberation”. If they could, any and every media outlet would publicize it – especially FOX News. When have you ever seen any type of show that had cameras and reporters walking around in ANY town in Iraq and showing all the new schools, hospitals, dams, bridges, electrical generation and water purification plants? If anyone did that, don’t you think it would be on every single newscast on every station? Point is, we want you to show us the proof of all the great things that have been happening and all the signs that “the world is a safer place” instead of floating these unsupportable air biscuits to placate the media bone heads that are supposed to be informing us.
