    Ummm, there's a difference between an attitude of impartiality (I said attitude, not reality) and the kind of insipid, myopic, opinion poll-obsessed, non-analytical, 24-Hour news-cycle-mongering crap that CNN pedals. Of which John King is, well, the King.

    That, my friends, is why CNN is unwatchable these days. They can't take a stand or offer in-depth analysis of any kind whatsoever. If Satan himself crawled out of a flaming pit of brimstone in the middle of Times Square, they'd get a panel of pundits on to discuss how it might affect Obama's approval numbers, how this is going to affect the healthcare debate, and whether the Devil was upset because Michelle Obama showed too much of her arms. #cnn

    John King may be a little more mild-mannered and less outspoken than Lou Dobbs, but he's no less of a raging conservative internally. He was absolutely incredulous during the campaign when it seemed like nothing McCain was doing was gaining any traction; he couldn't believe it. And he outright refused to believe CNN's own polls about who won the debates; he flat-out said not to pay any attention to those polls because they clearly did not reflect his own point of view of what had happened. (The polls turned out to be right, btw, and were supported by other polls taken by other organizations... not to mention the election itself.)

    He obviously tries to temper his conservatism for what he sees as his duty as a journalist, and that's nice I guess, but on the other hand I'd rather have what I'm dealing with out in the open. There's nothing worse than bias that's not obvious enough for most people to catch, but that nevertheless can affect the public's perceptions of things. Until now, John King was not in a position to have much of an effect, but he will be now. #cnn

    @badasscat: I agree with all you said. But I'm not worried about him having an "effect" - he's thick as a brick for one thing. Too much of a company man to rock any boat. As odd as it sounds, if you're going to be spreading bile like Beck or Dobbs, you need to know what dangerous game you're playing. King is not bright enough, he has no originality or ideas of his own. CNN wants to position itself as "centrist"- which of course means, heavily Republican with one dirty hippie thrown in as a punching bag. King won't be much different from the rest of the Beltway crowd. #cnn

    Odd. This is the second Gawker post within a week that betrays a fundamental confusion about the meaning and presentation of gambling odds. Let's do a trade-off: I'll explain odds to you if you can explain baseball to me. #loudobbs

    If he's a racist, he masks it very well in reality. I met him during a round of golf in NJ (the second meeting) this past summer and he seemed to be very pleasant. He even came back to the clubhouse and had a drink/bite with us. Two things stood out...........I am half Brazilian, half British and my posse was made up entirely of brown people....... his playing partners were all Latino........and he introduced them as members of his family. I was a bit surprised since he often comes across as being very offensive when it comes to matters of immigration on air. Then again, he was drinking liquor mixed with tap water from the armpit of the United States... so that could account for his behavior. #loudobbs

    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: true.....however, when he initially saw me, I was just walking along the bushes looking for my balls (golf) so he could have gone with the illegal Mexican course maintenance worker assumption. I forgot to mention.......he does indeed have a yellowish tint to his skin tone, even in the shadows of trees but I still think that is most likely from the NJ tap. #loudobbs

    He's going to put his money where he mouth is and go to work slaughtering beef in Nebraska, just to prove they're not taking jobs Americans don't want and won't do. It's a step down, but no hardship for this man of principles and integrity. #loudobbs

    Ken Auletta's profile of Dobbs had some good nuggets, iirc:

    He's not just a racist, xenophobic populist demagogue... he's also a rage-filled egomaniac and pompous, hypocritical snob. #loudobbs

    I wonder if he's going to take his trusted sidekick, Kato (Kitty Pilgrim) with him........no doubt he chose her because her last name philosophically matches his immigration policies....as he interprets it. Andale! #loudobbs
