Wolf Blitzer's Interviews

Speaking with Representative Lee (D) California,
Wolf Blitzer asked a question pertaining to the
war in Afghanistan. He asked if she was disappointed
in President Obama's decision to send thirty thousand
more troops in addition to the sixty eight. She said
that most people agree, as I do, that there is no
true "military" solution to Afghanistan. She then
said she would like to see, subsequently, more attention
paid to troop redeployment and pursuing diplomatic
avenues. Did Wolf Blitzer, like a classical American
journalist, interject and counter point that the argument
is made that diplomacy needs teeth, and that, in fact,
sending thirty thousand more troops SIGNALS that America
is ready for a realistic peace? No he did not. He
jumped to healthcare, leaving me to wonder if CNN
was fair and balanced. How much balance is needed
to stay center?
