Wolf Blitzer Sneakily Screened Student Questions for Hillary in 2000
As the Democrats prepare for their latest CNN debate tonight, Wolf Blitzer
has denied the Drudge Report's bulletin that he was pressured by the Clinton
campaign to avoid orchestrating a Hillary Clinton beat-down. But with all
the controversy this week over the Clinton campaign planting college-age
questioners in its events, our new book Whitewash explains that in a 2000
CNN town meeting, Blitzer and CNN carefully screened questions for Hillary -
and there were no scandal questions uttered - but Blitzer never told the
audience:
On April 24, CNN held a town meeting for Hillary in prime time, at 10 p.m.
Eastern at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and Wolf Blitzer
claimed, "The format is open-ended." But it was not. Buffalo News Washington
bureau chief Douglas Turner reported that university officials submitted to
CNN all the names of students attending, and that "questions from university
students have been screened by CNN staff members." University administrators
gave CNN students' phone numbers.
Turner called CNN's behavior "slippery," especially CNN's calls for student
questions on Tuesday afternoon for a Wednesday night broadcast. Although no
one found evidence that Hillary received questions in advance, Turner
suggested, "That's an embarrassingly long period of time for mischief to
occur." Even if, CNN claimed, Mrs. Clinton had no control over the questions
asked or which students were admitted into the audience, it seems odd that
there were zero questions from students about any Clinton scandal. No
student at the State University of New York at Buffalo was at all interested
in scandals, so many of them so salacious, swirling around the Clintons?
In comments before, during, and after the event, Blitzer never explained
that the questions and questioners were screened in advance. CNN's Frank
Buckley ended a story the morning after the town hall meeting with a very
vague reference that Giuliani's campaign, "in a statement issued earlier,
described Mrs. Clinton's event as carefully scripted, totally contrived, and
utterly fake." Surely it was that, but since Blitzer hadn't mentioned the
screening, CNN viewers didn't have the information to fairly judge Giuliani's
contention.

CNN did more stage management still, excluding all reporters, with the
exception of an Associated Press reporter and photographer, from the
auditorium. Even the SUNY-Buffalo student newspaper was barred. In all of
the overnight dispatches filed, the AP reporter, Marc Humbert, never
mentioned the screened questions or the exclusion of his colleagues.
Humbert did find space for a man who disliked Clinton to praise Hillary:
"She's hot." Here's what Blitzer told CNN viewers before the debate:
The format is open ended. I'll start off with a few questions of my own,
some hopefully news-worthy kinds of questions, then we're opening it up.
There will be about 300, almost 400 people here and they'll ask whatever is
on their mind, whether it's issues involving New York state, national
issues, or international issues. Remember, a Senator from New York - every
Senator deals with all these kinds of issues, and so I'm sure there will be
a wide range of questions, and if necessary I will follow up and make sure
that the necessary follow up is there as well.
But no troublesome scandal questions ever surfaced. Our original report from
that time is here.
Hitllery wasn't taking any chances at this last debate. Not only did
she get questions from screened individuals she also had planted
persons in the audience to boo and jeer the other candidates
so it would seem that everyone wanted hitlery.
George W. Bush is the real Hitler. George W. Bush stole election and
frequently lied to the public in the presidential debate.
MUAHAHAHAHA.
That bitch leaves nothing to chance. Wonder how many illegals
and dead people will vote the dim ticket this time. Guess georgie
boy soros will foot the bill for what it takes in payouts to get the
illegals to vote for hitlery.
