1. Why? He's another walking RW talking point |
|
CNN blew their chance to show they were interested in real fair news. They should have given this to Rick Sanchez

2. I think of John King as pretty neutral actually |
|
When both sides complain about the anchor then that anchor is usually being fair IMO.

4. We are talking about the same John King, right? |
|
The guy that gave Dick Cheney a blowjob on live tv. That guy?

8. Well, he's not and when you have a quote like that to defend your |
|
position then it's time for me to say there's always exceptions to that time worn cliche.

23. Not neccesarily...... |
|
sometimes when someone sucks, they just suck. That's the case with pompadour coiffed John King, missing shorter brother of NBC's David Gregory.

i still remember way back when this guy was a journalist, asking somewhat tough questions of dubya. but then, they moved him into the newsroom, and he went as flat as a 3-day-old open can of soda.
sad.

28. In the Pres. Debates he said: "The viewers are wrong to say Obama won those debates." |
|
I mean seriously...this is objective journalism....since when is he trying to make up the public's mind on who won the debates...if polls say the public feels Obama won the debates why is King going around trying to brainwash the viewers into thinking otherwise.
He is definitely a RW but i do admit he also tries to "seem" balanced but it does clearly come through he is a repub.

31. Yes. You didn't think this was about change, did you? |
|
They'll trade their embarrassing wingnut for a less blatantly embarrassing wingnut, and tell us it's news.

I'll pass. My question is when is Dobbs new slot on POX Entertainment, Distraction, and Propaganda or is he going to be running for something?

7. Fuck! They replace a disgusting right wing pig with another right wing pig. |
|
at least Lou Dobbs was completely out in the open about his lunacy. King tries to mask it all in a facade of objectivity, but he has always been a Repuke tool.

10. Because we don't have enough white men with their own shows on cable television |
|
What does a brother or sister have to do to get a show on one of these networks?
Jeez!

BUT even he is better than the racist. I won't tune in to him because of his propensity to spout right wing talking points, soft-ball interviews with repubs.

Dullness seems to be a prime goal at CNN.

19. Well that should continue the nosedive in ratings that CNN seems to be enjoying |
|
They need to hire some new people. Their current cast of characters seem to be there to collect a paycheck and talk about the GOP faxblast of the day.

20. King's not a real journalist |
|
He's not a RW tool, IMO, just a media tool looking for the "big scoop". He's afraid to push Cheney cause the RW attack machine will go after him and accuse him of being 'liberal media'. I used to like him, but he's turned out to be a big disappointment. Miles better than wingnut steaming-load-of Dobbs, though. And eye candy at least.

He's the only one on CNN that I like.

I read on my Kindle. CNN wants to be seen as a hard news network, without a right or left lean (like Fox and msnbc).
