CNN Host Wolf Blitzer Ridiculed Over His TV Set Up

Wolf Blitzer is a CNN Host and has been a passionate Buffalo Bills fan for a lifetime. Naturally, he watched the game on Sunday versus the Denver Broncos and celebrated the Bills win on Social Media.

Blitzer posted a short message after the game on X, which simply reads, "I'm very happy. #GoBills." We can see CNN Anchor proudly modeling his Buffalo Bills sports cap and pointing at the 31-7 score on the screen.

But this is the internet, and many users on X were more interested in Blitzer's particularly old-school setup. Blitzer proudly shows off a small flat-screen TV, DVD Player, VHS Cassette Recorder, and four remotes neatly arranged on the top shelf. We're unsure what the box is next to the remotes, but it has an illuminated power button, so it might be the newest device in the setup.

The CNN Host's Set Up Gets Thoroughly Roasted

Wolf Blitzer's posts typically get plenty of views and engagement, but the picture of his home entertainment setup has gone viral. At the time of writing, Blitzer's humble TV combo has been viewed over 5 million times. It has also received over 12,000 likes and over 600 comments.

While a few replies are just mean for the sake of it, several diamonds in the rough are worth sharing.

Among the higher-rated comments, @GeniusKhaan exclaims, "Man, I bought that same entertainment center from Target in 2002."  

@MaruiceCooley says, "I'm happy for you and your Bills, Wolf. But please, retire the VHS player and upgrade your TV. Funnily enough, @cborkowski replied to this message, pointing out that some are willing to pay top dollar for a good working VHS machine nowadays.

Another comment by @realKingpin_MMA reads, "Wolf said, "I'm not buying a new set until the Bills go back to the Super Bowl."

Perhaps the funniest part is the AI-suggested topics under the post. The top suggestion is "What VCR model does Blitzer use?" while another wild one asks the poignant question, "How does tech nostalgia affect culture?"

I would share the answer, but it's the most drivel-filled AI response I've ever read! If you're a fan of Wolf's retro setup, you're not the only one. Several users posted to say they liked the arrangement. One user, @stackthelife, even said, "Is this from the 90s? That setup is sick!"
