I will never watch Wolf Blitzer again. [View all]

Cenk just showed a clip of Wolf Blitzer chastizing Hillary Rosen for her comments on the air on CNN. He began by calling her out for smiling, forcing her to repeat an apology she had already made, scolding her saying that Anne didn't work when she "obviously" does, and after Hillary apologizes AGAIN on cue, makes her repeat it because he didn't hear her say, "I'm sorry." Really degrading and over-the top biased "journalism". I'm not sure I've ever seen anything so condescending and biased on corporate TV before, and I thought I'd seen everything.

If anyone has the clip, please post it. Even if you think Hillary should have apologized, (and I find her tone deafness in the way she made her comments jaw dropping since she's supposedly a professional), I think you'll agree that Wolf Blitzer is obnoxious. He literally treated her like a child.

Edited to add that the clip is below thanks to a kind DUer, so see for yourself.
