If you wondered how low the corporate-media would grovel before the financial-elitist

republicon party, you saw it in John King. Poor John King was set up for sacrifice on the alter of “the corporate media is liberal and nasty".

We have all recognized the softballs the corporate-media offers up to the corporatist republicons. Like “Mr. Cheney, doesn’t widespread and capricious torture make our children safer, sir? Mr. Cheney sir.” But this is a new technique. To offer up a faux outrage that allows The Newt the freedom to claim victimization. The crowd loved it. Had The Newt asked, I am sure the crowd would have lynched poor John King. And everyone wins. The network wins, The Newt wins, hatred wins. Well maybe the tool John King doesnt win.
