How does John King still have a job?

[ForgoTheConsequence]

What a fucking idiot.

[CalFresh]

1. +1

[quinnox]

2. he is a lovable doofus

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

3. He wasn't smart enough to get the weathergirl job.

[Supersedeas]

26. Ouch

[panAmerican]

4. I don't care what the race of the perpetrator turns out to be

But don't f'ing report ANYone's apparent skin tone unless you've seen the person being arrested yourself. All races have shades of dark and light, and to say "dark-skinned" is meaningless. Further, Wolfie's question about whether the person had an accent... UGH

[Myrina]

5. How do his editors still have a job? How is CNN still on the air?

Because there's pretty much no such thing as 'journalistic integrity' anymore.

[Lex]

6. Didn't he start out as a talking head at CourtTV?

Not very sharp.

[AlinPA]

7. Same goes for that jerk Anderson Cooper. There are two others on CNN now, Cuomo and a woman

I never saw before.

[calimary]

13. And don't forget Wolf Blit (breath) tzer.

ABSOLUTE WORST BREATH CONTROL AND PACING - IN THE INDUSTRY.

Makes me nuts. Almost as much as his sycophantry during the bush/cheney years. Pathetic.

[BainsBane]

21. I like Anderson

but not Blitzer.

[atreides1]

8. Industrial strength kneepads!

Just like the ones that Leslie Blitzer has...only not as used!!!

[Erose999]

9. My guess is that he took compromising photos of everyone at the last CNN X-mas party and threatened

to go public with them if they fired him. A photo of Wolf Blitzer passed out on top of a pile of pizza boxes with a cock and balls drawn on his forehead wouldn't be good for the network's image.

[Rex]

10. Well looks at his peers.

Need I say more?

[ForgoTheConsequence]

11. CNN is terrible.

They just showed him looking ashamed checking his iphone for the last 20 minutes.


Why do I do this to myself?

[amuse bouche]

12. CNN

Morons acting moronic

[SummerSnow]

14. He got over being an idiot cause of his wife DanaBash.

He got over being an idiot cause of his wife DanaBash.
She has clout on CNN and a Washington insider.But they are seperated now.Suppose she also got tired of his doofusness

[ForgoTheConsequence]

17. Didn't realize they were a couple.

She sucks too.

[Erose999]

15. I'll put it out there that CNN is responsible for Glenn Beck and Nancy Grace among others. They

don't just go to the bottom of the barrel when they hire on-air talent, they get the rat droppings underneath the barrel.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

16. The FBI just addressed this.

Contrary to widespread reporting, no arrest has been made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack. Over the past day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been inaccurate. Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before reporting.

18. He's just been fired

[ForgoTheConsequence]

20. Hahaha.

A+

[just1voice]

19. Seriously? He's a paid-off 1%er tool who lies for a living

Anyone who still believes anything the corporate media says needs to learn about propaganda and how prevalent it is today.

[snooper2]

22. He's the only one bright enough to run that big election screen every 4 years

[Bluenorthwest]

23. Our entire culture rewards mediocrity and punishes excellence

If it was just CNN we'd be in great shape.

[TheKentuckian]

24. He wipes and dangles for the corporations, he is friendly to Reich Wingers, and he seems dim

why in the world do you think his job would be at risk? I imagine he is set until he is less photogenic, at least.

What do you think the corporate propaganda outlets are news or supposed to provide accurate reporting?

[City Lights]

25. Maybe their ratings will plummet because of their shitstain reporting.

It's not just King. He didn't decide on his own to run with his "facts." The whole network sucks.

[Blue Owl]

27. King John -- as in King Toilet

n/t

[mopinko]

28. i'll go to my grave thinking ted turner was given an offer he couldn't refuse.

he loved that station, and i have yet to hear him utter a word about what has happened to it. and you know they bought it to gut it and turn it into what it is today.
