John King, Major League Asshole
He is blaming Obama for Joe Wilson's outburst. What a fucking asshole.

Fuck you John King, and fuck CNN.

1. He'd probably blame the rape victim for being raped too.
John King is one of the biggest assholes on television -- aside form all the Fox pundits, or maybe along with all the Fox pundits.

3. I was going to start a similar thread. What he did was claim OBAMA called SARAH PALIN a liar by
saying in his speech that the claim there is a provision in the bill that would set up panels to decide whether or not people should live is a lie. (poorly paraphrased) And then he asked Robert Gibbs something like, "Wasn't he talking about Sarah Palin? And if he called "death panels" a "lie," didn't he call Sarah Palin a "liar"? So how's that different from Joe Wilson calling HIM a liar?" :eyes:

7. Robert Gibbs-and that was a good answer. For John King to accuse Obama of calling Palin a liar on
the House floor is ridiculous. And he kept saying it all morning long-not only to Gibbs but to all the other people he was talking to.

19. Because, unlike Obama,
Sarah Palin is actually a liar.

More accurately, her ghostwriter is.

5. John King is a Republican piece of shit, and it shows!
Edited on Sun Sep-13-09 11:45 AM by FrenchieCat
Love the way he used an August 24th poll to quote on September 13th how 61% of Indies don't approve of Obama's Health Care reforms...when he was talking to Senators Feinstein, Collins, and Shaheen.
Of course, the date was on the chart he quickly showed, and Feinstein and Collins being in the studio, of course they went along with acting like this poll was recent and true.

I hate the media, cause they lie, omit, misinform, and just plain slant their take to affect public opinion. That is not their jobs of course, but you'd never know it watching these assholes. :mad:

9. Yeah-I couldn't believe he used the August poll to show Independents disapproving of Obama's
plan. Funny how he didn't use CNN's own post-speech polling which showed how much approval went up! I HATE him and nearly everyone else in the media.

16. cnn is a bigger tool than faux because everyone knows fauxsn00ze

11. I had it on in the background and noticed he had his wife on too
The sound was turned down so I don't know if his wife, Dana Bash, was going along with him.

21. Since May 25, 2008
"CNN's John King & Dana Bash were married on May 25, 2008 at the Wequassett Inn in Cape Cod. We came across this beautiful video from the special day."

23. I'm sorry to say I don't like either of them.
But not as much as I dislike that John Roberts in the mornings. Talk about smug - he's snide, too. I wish I had an alternative in the morning, but the Scab is out of the question.

17. Always.
I also love how nearly every piece of footage he runs of an "average American" representing what most Americans think is a white male spouting right wing talking points who either owns, works in, or hangs around in a neighborhood restaurant. Usually they live in a small town in middle America. Today he lived in a small city in Maine.

The feigned look of concern on King's face for their concern is always an added treat.

I really think John needs to get some updated resources on what an "average American" is. Perhaps he can quit using the one David Duke lent to him.

24. A big amen to that...he's a true moran
ALSO is Sarah Palin relevant to the US government in some way? Perhaps Miss Runner-up for POTUS? Was she lying, I mean, tweeting from the Halls of Congress?

King not only has a blatant GOP bias, but he absolutely never comprehends the factual (actual) situation. He'd be a huge asset on Faux News along with Beck & Stossel & co. I think I'll email that suggestion in.

I also didn't know he was married to Bash. Good grief.
