One thing I noticed last night is that CNN had no clue on where and what the remaining vote was, while MSNBC was able to tell you the detail....John King kept on saying stuff like we need to wait to see where the vote is or The Democrats may not be able to catch up.....where as Kornacki could pinpoint by precinct and knew what was going to happen

(15,729 posts)I was most excited when I got on the hunt figuring out things with numbers.
I remember Kornacki explains to Rachel back in the Primary, that if this happens in this county and this happens in this county and this happens while writing the numbers on the screen and the total changed to what Kornacki figured as everyone watched.
He is the number guy.

(34,661 posts)CNN put John King on a live commentary,they were just throwing shit against the wall looking for something to stick. Talk about out of the loop.
King is great at filling air time with spittle.

(4,167 posts)I would be watching MSNBC talk about how there was 171,000 votes in Delkab and the Dems will get 80% of that, and then I would turn to CNN and all John King would say is that the Dems are down and there isnt much remaining vote

(34,661 posts)do remember King working as a Beat Reporter running around doing real Reporting in the Midwest. Once he got the big paycheck,he lost his Mojo and has been living off his Reputation ever since.
