Good catch from NewsBusters: CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Katrina’s Victims: “They Are So Black.”

The NewsBusters website reveals the hypocrisy and hideous simplicity of the liberals’ cable news channel, CNN, and how they see things.  What’s really astonishing is not that these liberal elitists in the media see things in such base race and color and economic class terms, for we’re used to that, but that nobody will bat an eyelash about it because it’s on CNN instead of Fox News Channel. Well actually I guess we’re used to that, too.

From CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, Thursday, September 1, 2005, covering the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: (audiotape on file, emphasis mine)

BLITZER: “You simply get chills every time you see these poor individuals, as Jack Cafferty just pointed out, so tragically, so many of these people, almost all of them that we see, are so poor and they are so black, and this is going to raise lots of questions for people who are watching this story unfold.”

“And they are so black”?? What is that supposed to mean? Can you imagine if Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity had said this? There would be cries of “outrage” and breathless demands for an apology.
