I've been watching Wolf Blitzer on and off all week and while I always knew he was pro-Israeli, I actually got sick to my stomach watching him this Sunday morning. Every single one of his taped reports are so slanted to the plight and suffering of the Israeli people that I began to think that he had to be working as spokesman for the Israeli Government. So I looked up his bio on Wikipedia. You be the judge.
Wolf Blitzer (born March 22, 1948 in Buffalo, New York) is a Jewish American journalist and author. He has been a CNN reporter since 1990, and is known for his straightforward "hard news" reporting style. Blitzer is currently the host of the newscast The Situation Room and the Sunday talk show Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer. Blitzer previously hosted Wolf Blitzer Reports, which was replaced by The Situation Room.
Blitzer, whose first name is his maternal grandfather's name, [1] grew up in Buffalo, New York, the son of Jewish Holocaust refugees from Poland. He graduated from Kenmore West Senior High School. He received a B.A. degree in history from the University at Buffalo in 1970 and an M.A. degree in international relations from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in 1972. While studying at SUNY Buffalo Wolf was a brother of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, as was former CNN coworker Robert Novak.
His career in journalism began in 1972, in the Tel Aviv bureau of the Reuters news agency. He soon moved to Washington, D.C., where he was White House correspondent for The Jerusalem Post after a spell working for AIPAC as a lobbyist. In 1990 he was hired by CNN as a military affairs reporter. His team's coverage of the first Gulf War in Kuwait won a CableACE Award and made him a household name. He became CNN's White House correspondent and later co-anchored the daily show The World Today. His coverage of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing earned him an Emmy Award. In 1997, he began hosting the CNN interview programs Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer, and in 2000 Wolf Blitzer Reports.
Blitzer has regularly been criticized by some observers for what they see as a pro-Israel worldview.[2]
He is the author of two books: Between Washington and Jerusalem: A Reporter's Notebook (Oxford University Press, 1985) and Territory of Lies (Harper and Row, 1989). He has written under the aliases Ze'ev Blitzer and Ze'ev Barak. "Ze'ev" meaning "wolf" and "barak" being "lightning" in Hebrew.
There is no doubt in my mind that Ze'ev Blitzer is not a bona-fide journalist seeking the truth, but a propagandist with an allegiance to a foreign government. How can we ever expect to have an informed dialog in this country regarding war and peace and the lives of our citizens when America's Mainstream Media has so blatantly been infiltrated by a fifth column? What do you think?
