Larry King went on SNL and did his show as a joke, and one of his mock commentaries to the camera was "Does anyone actually care that Pakistan has the Bomb?"
There was not-great stuff then too. Wolf Blitzer, for example, seemed to rise quickly and get a lot of air time mostly because he happened to be the one doing the remote reports from Baghdad in Desert Storm.
Awkwardly worded and delivered, but it seems his observation was that Black residents were disproportionately negatively affected by Katrina. A perfectly valid point.
I am by no means a defender of Blitzer--his interviews and his framing of issues show him to be a banal thinker--but I feel he received a lot of undeserved criticism for this utterance. Which seemed at the time to mostly come from bad-faith actors like Rush Limbaugh, taking a cheap shot.
