Paula Zahn embarrassed herself, CNN and all Journalists tonight
If you saw her show and the interview with an Iraqi about Chalabi you would have fainted in horror or at least run screaming into the street.

Her questions were unbelievably stupid. So stupid even the guest gave her a look of WHAT THE FUCK DID U JUST SAY LADY?

Her attempts to play hardball sank. Her attempts to play gotcha wouldn't lour flies to shit. Her attempt to play the I'm smarter than you brown man made her look like an IDIOT.

The interview - was with a guy who was discussing the Chalibi break in. She had the NERVE to ask him...
Well would Chalabi rather have Saddam in power? The guy said you just played a clip where he said that Iraqis owe President Bush gratitude for getting rid of Saddam.

Then the guy said that this should be decided in a court you just don't go in breaking down doors and breaking furniture.
Paula's reply: Well are you saying that his aids are Iranian Intelligence?

Next, Paula asked the guest why Chalabi was thinking that he himself was the target. The guy replied: Well when they come into your bedroom with pistols and put them into your head you're going to think it is personal.

Those are just the ones I can remember. I swear I was ROTFLMAO in between the times where I was S@TV (screaming @ the TV)

Paula Zahn is such A LOSER. At first she could barely keep her spit in her mouth when she talked. Now she can barely ask a question that makes sense.

WTF is going on with the EFFIN media. Are they all Crack Smokin wingnut ass-kissing 'MORANS'?

2. Now she's interviewing a woman attacked by a mountain lion
I wonder if this will be the new "shark" story for this summer. Mountain lions. Anything for a few ratings points, eh Paula?

7. Well let's see we have troops being killled, killing themselves,
jack booted thugs are breaking in doors and taking stuff in a country where we are supposed to bring democracy, they are bombing weddings,
torturing prisoners, raping women,

and she's interviewing a lady that got attacked by a mountain lion.

I'm not saying it isn't news, but how about Saturday morning or Saturday afternoon.

14. I'll go ahead and say it
It's not news on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. At least not national news.

3. I don't know why "journalists" like Paula Zahn are given hard
news to do. When she was an anchor on my local station, if she did any reporting at all it was fluff pieces or entertainment gossip.

4. did you mean to imply that Paula Zahn is a "journalist...?"
Or that CNN is in the business of practicing journalism? I've REALLY been meaning to ask some folks from our journalism faculty what they think about cable news "journalism."

11. Point well taken... It was so funny to see that guys reaction to
her dumb questions. It seems that the response to her stupidity is a universal language.

6. She must have read the compliments about Deborah Norville
She will never be a Deborah Norville. Paula is a nitwit and neocon apologist.

8. Hah, that's a brilliant mantra-must be in the playbook
Opps sorry, yes we -fill in horrible outrage here-
but Would you rather have Saddam in power?

You can't win with that answer, no matter what you say. There must be a word for it in debate lingo-I'd call it bullshit.

13. Paula Zahn + Journalist = Oxymoron
Although, I must admit that her interview tonight with regard to Chalabi was entertaining...even more so was the segment in which she was discussing the serial rapist who had been released to the "quiet little cul-de-sac" in the suburbs.

No, true journalists (an endangered species these days) generally do not take on such shrill tones with interviewees. I expected her to start jumping up and down or stomping her feet while pulling her own hair at any moment. :eyes:
