John King, WORSE than Lou Dobbs. . . I just browsed past
his "State of the Nation" show to see a long segment on that "subservient, shameful" bow.. THEN they segway into a Wasilla based puff piece on Sarah.

He pretends to be a newsman. . and I see him as typical of the insulated, fully-coopted beltway view of the world. CNN is no better than fox.

1. I have to agree...
Whenever I watch STATE OF THE UNION I see King bashing dems with folow-up after follow-up question but then to repubs he throws softball questions at them so that they can bash Obama...he does this all the time. He belongs on FOX News!

2. John King has always been an infotainer, and not a journalist
so yeah, no big surprise there.

3. Every quality King possesses as a journalist
was on full display when he "interviewed" Cheney. it was truly one of the worst examples of corporate propaganda ever. It was worse by far than anything I have seen on FAUX. He is a known quantity, and we should not be surprised by how well he will serve his masters.;(

7. i thought i'd give him another chance this morning but i have not
changed my mind about his lack of bias. he IS right-leaning or at the very least not willing to follow up when confronted with rw talking points.

he couldn't find anyone in alaska to counterpoint the sarah fans he was interviewing? nope, i still will not watch cnn . . . at least not until it goes in the crapper and ted buys it back.
