‘The most trusted name in news.’

Last night on the Letterman Show, host David Letterman noted CNN’s Jack Cafferty voicing his anger on-air recently for having to report on Lindsay Lohan. Watch it:

    Cafferty hasn’t forgotten how to be a journalist.


  2. katy says:

    i love david… recently i’ve been feeling guilty…
    have been neglecting him for some younger men…
    jon and stephen have taken over my usual
    dave time slot… what to do, what to do…

    he will always be the first… always special…

    oh, and keith…

    but i flip back and forth…


  4. upside00 says:

    Guess it is safe to say that Cafferty won’t be getting (or receiving) any big offers from Faux NoNooz any time soon.

    I wish they’d get rid of Breathless Blitzer, and give Cafferty the slot.


  7. upside00 says:

    Zehava – SO TRUE!


  8. Jackie says:

    Jack Cafferty has been one of the few Journalist that just give the facts not what the White House orders others to say. The media CEO’s are following the White House orders and many more Journalist are falling in line for the extra money. Chris Matthews has been on the WH pay role for years and of course O’Reilly is doing it for the money for his harassment bill. I was really surprised at David Gregory as he was once an honest Journalist. Times are hard for Journalist so alot more are caving in to the extra money. The few Journalist who report the truth are being attacked by the White House and their friends.
    Notice how CBS took Bob out and put the WH suck up Katie Couric in his job. I don’t know one person who watches the lies Katie tells.

    Correct — FNC wants to stay far ahead at #1 for a long time.

    RRRIGHT!!! Gotta stay the leader in Bullshit and BushCo paid advertisements disguised as “news”.

    And Brit, might want to get some work done on those eyes, the droopy look doesn’t look any better on you then it does on Joe L. the esteemed Senator from Israel.


  11. Badmoodman says:

    TP’ers could not care less, but her name is spelled Lindsay. Kinda hard to miss that considering how her name is everywhere.


  12. Serenity Now says:

    Poor Jack, he still thinks he works in the journalism business. That kind of work, especially at CNN ended some time ago.

    Time to get out Jack. Your kind are no longer bring in the ratings.


  13. ForTruth says:

    If you’re gonna eat the fast food news, CNN is the best one. They have the Gonzo story headlining right now. Gotta encourage the desireable behaviors.


  14. ann says:

    I heart Jack Cafferty.


  15. JPark says:

    “#9 Correct — FNC wants to stay far ahead at #1 for a long time”

    #1 at what? CNN has a lot more viewers. Fox just has mouthbreathers that never change channels. Do some research, moron.


  16. Tom3 says:

    Didn’t someone at MSNBC do this about Paris Hilton a couple weeks ago?

    Comment by ForTruth — July 26, 2007 @ 8:35 pm

    Yeah but they have spun the headline to make it seem like they can’t agree on whether to use “a” or “an” when using an acronym.

    CNN
    “FBI head, Gonzales differ on hospital showdown”

    MSNBC
    FBI director contradicts Gonzales’ testimony

    Fox News
    FBI Chief Contradicts Gonzales’ Sworn Testimony

    CBS News
    FBI Chief Contradicts Gonzales’ Testimony

    ABC News
    The story is not on the front page

    So, in this case even Fox News is using a better headline than CNN and ABC is just a friggin’ tool for the administration.

    I’m with katy and I feel guilty too. At least we have a conscience. How about you Madame Zehava? Any pangs of guilt?


  19. Kay says:

    Remember folks : it’s all Bread and Circus while Darth Cheney continues his dastardly EVIL deed deciding when to bomb the sh*t out of Iran.

    -or- create another 9/11 here in the U.S.

    got Martial Law?

    Comment by upside00 — July 26, 2007 @ 8:18 pm

    Which?

    katy as a trollop?

    or

    Cafferty should get Blitzer’s spot? :-)


  21. shane says:

    I wish they’d get rid of Breathless Blitzer, and give Cafferty the slot.

    Comment by Zehava

    Amen to that! He could replace Lou “Yawn” Dobbs too.


  22. Sam Souci says:

    Public awareness of Lindsey Lohan skyrocketed after paparazzi snapped a pic of her vagina, maybe Dick Cheney should do the same – it could bolster his flagging popularity.

    No kidding. Every time I think Lou Dobbs has a point, he goes off on some weird-assed tangent.

    Did you koolaid drinkers figure out how to freebase that stuff or something. Cause you guys are more out of touch every day. I bet you think Letterman mentioning him is a bad thing, idiot.


  27. ForTruth says:

    Alright CNN, get better.


  28. Spudge_Boy says:

    All my life I wonder why the German people would become Nazis. Why they would do such horrible things and commit such atrocities against man kind.

    Hey JPark, nice to see you. Not to mention that 70 year old demographic that Fox garners are the lowest advertising dollars out there. Polident, Depends, Geritol, not exactly high end ad campaigns.

    The woman on with Scarborough in the morning and I believe she has her own time slot in addition to that now.

    Your parents have very bad taste in literature. Even if you are a Christian that is pap. Mike Seaver could write better crap.

    Fortunately, they read other books as well, but I was shocked to see a whole shelf of Left Behind books at their house. They’ve really changed in the last few years.


  47. ForTruth says:

    I think people are giving in to the fear these days. Everyone sees the world situation and interprets it differently.


  48. JPark says:

    Ugh, Zeh, Left Behind has no redeeming value whatsoever. It isn’t even good fiction. I hope your parents have some Nietchze next to it.

    Heh. No Nietchze, but Bill O, Ann Coulter, 1,000,000 books about WWII, and oddly enough, Muslim history books.

    I was wondering the other day what is going to happen to Fox News when the Democrats take over the government? I suspect that their advertisers will abandon them pretty quickly. Advertisers tend to go where they think the money is and if the vast majority of this nation is on the side of the Democrats, those advertisers are not going to look favorably on Fox. As someone posted earlier, their demographics are not great and their viewers are dying off.

    When I was up there, the news were awfully annoying. You have all these messages going from right to left at the bottom of the screen, most of them about an attack or something really terrible then some white words over a red background telling you the name of the news at hand and then the subtitle, very likely using the word terror or war.

    You have the face of a guy/girl talking and talking and then at the other half of the screen a guy/girl answering.

    Then you have little frames for other news at the corners or wherever they fit. And this is all day and all night. Truly annoying. No wonder why some people still believe Saddam had WMDs.

    Oh, another thing. As I walked the airport on my way out, there were these printed ads at the wall. The subjects were two:

    a) A patriotic display (Army, Navy, Marine, etc.)
    b) A product to be sold.

    The federal funding [Taxpayers] of such things isn’t. Coal or otherwise. The power/utility company needs to foot the bill if they are gonna reap the profits.

    Federal funds approved to buy land in Washoe Susan Voyles … coal-fired power plant that would sit between those hills and the Granites. …

    It would be a newer cleaner burning coal type unit it would seem. I would think Nevada, with the amount of sunlight, could build a draft type power generation.
