CNNI is showing an incredibly biased John King piece on Bush right now
It's nauseating in its platitudes and effusiveness, in obvious defiance of the facts. King uses almost exclusively members of the Bush administration to support whatever purpose he pretends to make in this piece, using the backdrop of 9-11, Bush hugging family members, his struggle to come to terms with having no choice but to bomb Iraq, etc.

I've often thought John King was CIA. I'm convinced of it now. This piece is pure propaganda, and its timing is impecable.

1. Well, it is the middle of the night.
That may keep the audience down a bit.

4. It's 10:54 a.m. in Germany, on a Saturday
I'm sure CNN will find a prime-time spot stateside for this piece of propaganda.

2. On the other hand ,John King has asked some of the nastiest
biting questions that no one else seems to have the nerve to ask during the WH press briefings. I thought he would be the new Helen Thomas.This might be a finacially motivated abberation and you don't know if he actually produced or wrote this.Maybe he only narrated and interviewed!

3. John King is the guy Bush always has on his list for the next scripted
Edited on Sat Sep-04-04 03:53 AM by lebkuchen
question.

Remember when Bush called on King as he fumbled through his list of reporters, and while doing so, admitted the event was all scripted, even down to which reporter was to be called on next? King just giggled and asked his question that Bush had received in advance.

King is a Bush player. I think he's CIA.
