“Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg appeared on CNN today to explain his decision to travel to Israel in protest of the FAA ban on travel from all U.S. carriers (now on day two). But Bloomberg took great offense at a question Wolf Blitzer posed about whether a State Department travel advisory was made for political purposes, and actually scolded the CNN anchor for the suggestion on-air.
Both Bloomberg and Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat dismissed concerns over Israel’s security and spoke out against the FAA ban. Blitzer brought up the State Department travel advisory and Bloomberg said, “If you don’t feel safe here, then I don’t know where you’d feel safe.”
Blitzer asked Bloomberg if the decision was made for political reasons, and received a stern finger-wagging from the ex-mayor.”* The Young Turks hosts Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola (TYT University) break it down.

omg? the Wolf asked a journalistic question.. what is happening here?
This is one time when I completely disagree with TYT and especially Ana. The attempt by Blitzkrieg was to denigrate the attempts the government, especially the white House, is using to deal with this situation. Don’t report the news, Guys, just try to guide it to your own agenda. This makes my respect for you all go down a few notches.
Blitzkreig? You are going to insult Wolf Blitzer, a Jew, with a type of warfare used by the Germans to eliminate the Jews? You have just lost respect. TYT is known to put their opinion into stories. Because you disagree with their opinion, you lost respect for them. This is what target news is. It only shows you news you agree with. I like hearing their opinions. I don’t always agree with the opinion they have on a lot of subjects, but I respect the fact that they put their opinion out to the world. My only regret is that they have to listen to senseless comments.
I am not even sure what your rattling about.. Bloomburger is a boob… and his idiocy needs to be surrounded and exterminated with extreme prejudice before it causes more damage to the rest of humanity
