Howard Dean calls Al Jazeera America 'The Fox of the Muslim world'

63. Wolf Blitzer actually started out as one of Pat Robertson's 700 Club reporters.

It’s scary to hear someone carry-on like Pat. But it’s sort of strange to realize that Pat and Wolf Blitzer go way back together. Yep! Wolf used to work for Pat Robertson's CBN way back when Pat was setting up his news bureau and Wolf was the 700 Club’s reporter from the Middle East. He was a lot younger in those days, but in those beginning days Pat exposed Wolf Blitzer to a viewing audience that topped the Nielsen ratings at 28.7 million monthly viewers! That’s a great way to launch one’s career. But Wolf Blitzer likes to keep that part of his career kind of quiet. He doesn’t list the 700 Club’s news bureau in his biography. He doesn’t tell CNN’s audience that Pat was like an angel to him when he was just an independent reporter starting out. But those of us who watched Pat’s show could never forget Wolf Blitzer’s reports. He was presented to us as such an expert—we were just so proud of him! And look how high he’s gone. You’d think he’d give Pat a little credit. No doubt he says “Thanks” by inviting him on CNN!

He also has written under an alias:

In writing for several Israeli newspapers in Washington, Blitzer has used the names Zev Blitzer and Zev Barak.[11] Zev (זאב is the Hebrew word for "wolf" and Barak (ברק is the Hebrew word for "lightning" (which in German/Yiddish is Blitz).

I thought Wolf was "in the rear with the gear" back in Kuwait when the shit hit the fan in Baghdad. It was Peter Arnett and Bernard Shaw who were crapping their drawers in that hotel room in Baghdad....ah, memories! I watched that unfold on CNN International via satellite!
