Video: Wolf Blitzer gushes over Huma Abedin with Newt

CNN's Wolf Blitzer, during an interview with Newt Gingrich, gushed over Hillary Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin, saying that he knows her and that she's a "wonderful, wonderful person". Blitzer then almost seemed like he was going out of his way to convince himself, saying "she is not part of a Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy".

**UPDATE** Here is a longer clip of the exchange between Blitzer and Gingrich. It's definitely worth the watch. More commentary at Shoebat:

Video: CNN Covers Fast and Furious after Eight Months

When I received an email from Issa's office yesterday, though it contained several video links, the one that caught my eye featured Oversight Committee chairman Issa on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, talking about the Fast and Furious scandal. That was surprising in and of itself but then after watching it, I was doubly surprised because it was actually quite fair. This scandal is not going away; it has been taking root for several months. In fact, it's getting bigger by the day. Scandals come and go all the time and as much as the left wing media has tried to further that cause on Fast and Furious, it has failed to this point. We're now seeing the media being dragged to the scandal instead of being instrumental in disposing of it.

People are going to start taking note, if for no other reason, than because it's been going on so long that it will start generating even more curiosity. Nonetheless, nothing earth-shattering in this exchange between Blitzer and Issa if you've been following the scandal via other venues but it's absolutely noteworthy that CNN has decided to put its toe in the water on Fast and Furious.

VIDEO: CNN COVERS FOX COVERAGE OF OBAMA

Not sure what the bigger story is here. The Obama administration singling out Fox News in true Alinsky Rule #8 style (keep the pressure on) or CNN actually discussing how great Fox News Channel's ratings are.

What's more amazing than all of that is the fact that CNN and others are making absolutely NO EFFORT to follow the winning formula Fox News has discovered. Instead, they apparently want to do play by play and color analysis of the battle between FNC and Obama. Perhaps they should stop fact-checking Saturday Night Live skits directed at Barack Obama as a start.

Interesting to watch, though. The overwhelming sentiment seems to be that going after FNC publicly is a bad move by the Obama White House. Obviously, their biggest beef is with Beck, Hannity, and O'Reilly (probably in that order). However, instead of answering the questions posed by those hosts (Beck in particular), they stonewall and cry foul.

Pretty pathetic........and pretty telling.

Beck and company must be onto something.

VIDEO: United Airlines A Little Upset

The "United Breaks Guitars" video is causing more YouTube fallout. On Tuesda, July 9th, CNN reported on the story and the video. They reported that United reached out to Dave Carroll after only 50,000 views! Guess what? As of July 14th, his video is at 2.8 Million views.

United's official statement was that they were going to use it as an internal training exercise (translation: they were going to try to make chicken salad out of chicken you know what).

If you want to view the actual CNN report, here it is.



And of course, to watch the video that started it all...
