Wolf Blitzer broke from an interview with Bill Cosby talking about inner city poverty to cover Paris Hilton entering CNN studios for an intervew with none other than Larry King. "CNN ran a full segment catching viewers up with what Hilton had been doing since getting out of jail yesterday (holing up at home; giving an exclusive interview to People for $300,000 (undisclosed terms)...a magazine which also happens to be owned by Time Warner, just like CNN. Oops, they didn't mention that."
The Huffington Post reported this story and said "Wolf Blitzer, looking like he wished he were somewhere else and then said: "how many most trusted name in news' jokes can you make before it makes you sad? Hilton, shot from outside heading into the building, was lobbed from one camera to another as she walked into the building, wearing a feminine lace-edged dress and smelling — get this — a white rose passed to her by her handler. The camera tracked her to the elevator, but if you happened to miss that, well, Costello confirmed it: "You see her going up the elevator to meet with Larry King, to talk to him before the interview." Embarrassing
Wolf Blitzer then says: "Thanks for that" supposedly not breaking his pledge to never utter the words "Paris Hilton" on his newscast. And I say news mockingly.

My favorite coverage of the Paris Hilton "news" is by far the Times' story.
It's fantastic. This country is a joke.
