How is it possible that a top notch, prize winning journalist can be so ignorant of information that most reasonably educated people are expected to know?

I'd say profound ignorance is a positive asset in the current media climate.

He's apparently no more than a newsreader. Pretty sad--but then again, I've never liked him. Rather, Cronkite and Brokaw woulda whupped his arse.

I would bet on Tim Russert to walk away with all the money on Jeopardy against the whole field of his former colleagues.

May he R.I.P.

did you see the conan where they filmed the warm up round of jeopardy?

wolf was at -800 for a while, and got to final jeopardy at either zero, or close to it (forget). by comparison, richter had over 12k. he won of the three.

great segment/clip.

Impossible. No one needs to watch more Fox News. He needs to crack a book. Or play second banana to Conan O'Brien.

Doesn't Wolf work for CNN? That would explain his lack of knowledge.

Leave the guy alone.

I mean really, the man's given name is Wolf Blitzer - he's already exceeded expectations simply by virtue of not being a porn star.

Heh...I got to watch this one on TV that day, and had to make sure I wasn't playing SNL off the DVR. Absolutely ridiculous.
