Listen to it. It's been days since and nobody has said a word. Jesse Jackson would've already knocked on their door days ago demanding an apology had this been O'Reilly, Limbaugh, or Hannity. The hypocrisy is unreal.

Rush, Hannity, and O'Reiley aren't journalists at all. They're supposedly entertainers.
Blitzer jumped the shark with the first gulf war, and has been whoring for warmongers ever since....it's his gestalt.

Oh OK, got it. We'll make it a point to listen to the journalists who bash the war, advocate gay marriage and excessive public funding from now on. Apparently their the only ones with an opinion that "matters".

I dont see what is wrong with it? Im not a huge fan of Blitzer, but his remarks arent racist. You can break view the phrase "so black" into a few different angles.
If he meant that their skin is "so black" that would be racist IMO
Otherwise, if he was making an overarching statement that most of the stranded people are blacks, then I think that is fine.

If a journalist is giving an opinion, they're not acting as a journalist.
Please cite an example of a journalist bashing the war, advocating for gay marriage, or for excessive public funding.
Becha can't do it.

Moore and O'Reilly are on the same level. The difference is that Moore has a sense of humor and is not trying to tie himself to a 'news network', while O'Reilly claims his filth is 'un spun'...but neither are anywhere close to being journalists.
