Oh, Wolf! Bless your precious heart.
As Twitchy reported, protests in Turkey are ramping up in Istanbul’s Taksim Square. Riot police are reportedly using water cannons and tear gas. Earlier this month, CNN-Turk chose to run a show about penguins rather than the protests. And now? Wolf Blitzer’s gas mask obsession. While the situation on the ground is dangerous, viewers couldn’t help but notice the incessant chatter about gas masks.
@BreaKBeatJunkee lol i know, i keep an eye on you, Breakz <3. Did you enjoy Blitzer's constant gas mask commentary?

Heh.
Insightful analysis? Well, if you mean obsession.

Wolf Blitzer seems really concerned with this correspondent's gas mask.

Wolf Blitzer is so nice. He just explained the CNN reporter on the ground in Istanbul how to tighten the straps on the gas mask.

I think @wolfblitzer is more concerned about gas masks than the #protest itself! #turkey

Wolf Blitzer is giving instructions on putting on a gas mask to CNN reporters on the ground…"you've got to really secure those straps"

Someone tell @wolfblitzer the story isn't about reporters wearing gas masks, it's about the protestors without them. #TaksimSquare #Turkey

You mean it’s not all about the media? Who’d have thunk it?
@wolfblitzer must dream of anchoring a show where all the correspondents/reporters wear gas masks all the time. #SafeyFirst
