Is Wolf Blitzer A Paid Shill For The White House?

MEDIA MATTERS observes:

CNN's Wolf Blitzer and two Washington Post articles downplayed and even mischaracterized the loud, sustained chorus of boos that greeted Vice President Dick Cheney as he emerged from the dugout for the ceremonial first pitch at the Washington Nationals' home opener against the New York Mets and continued until he left the field.

In covering Vice President Dick Cheney's ceremonial first pitch at the Washington Nationals' home opener against the New York Mets on April 11, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer and two Washington Post articles downplayed and even mischaracterized the loud, sustained chorus of boos that greeted Cheney as he emerged from the dugout and continued until he left the field. The Post attributed the boos to Cheney's pitch, which bounced in the dirt, despite the fact that the crowd began booing Cheney before he threw the ball. Blitzer attributed the boos to Democratic partisanship, ignoring the fact that Cheney has markedly low favorability ratings in national polls.
