John King To Replace Lou Dobbs On CNN At 7PM

<snip>
King will anchor a nightly political program in addition to his Sunday show, "State of the Union," beginning early next year, the network said.

"The program will reflect what CNN is all about: straight facts from our anchors and the widest range of opinions from across the political spectrum," CNN/US President Jon Klein said in a statement. "John has enthralled CNN viewers with his vast political knowledge, and he has spent the past year reporting from beyond the Beltway on pressing policy issues and the real people they impact. Every night, he'll share his passion and his insights about what is really going on in Washington and across America."

19. True

John King is more than ready to parrot right wing talking points and champion them as "conventional wisdom" and poo-poo anything Democratic.

12. CNN should have given the slot to Jack Cafferty.

King sucks.

Just more of the same, IMO. :puke:

They are really good journalists.

18. I would like to see Shepard Smith defect from Faux to

CNN. He is the only person on Faux with any sanity. I bet he knows a lot of dirt on them too.
