I might be in the minority but I appreciate Wolf Blitzer

he has been so heartbroken the last week as he views the changes in the capitol (militarization). Yes he can be a bit repetitive but he gives me security. In a strange way I guess I’ve grown up with him.

I know folks don't like his uber down the middle approach. I get that, as it does add credibility to crazy & lying.
But, at least since the pandemic, he has taken a position as a CITIZEN and is less willing to let crazy stand.
I've noticed they're much more selective, increasingly over time, of who they let on from the crazy brigade.
He's closing in on retirement and I think he wants to be remembered as a true journalist.

commentator. I don't think he intentionally skews the news for anyone.

More people died in that adventure than were killed in the Capitol.

I change the channel when they have Rick Santorum speaking as part of their politics panel.
