CNN’s King Apologizes for C-Word
CNN got caught in the crosshairs when a guest on John King USA dropped the c-word in a discussion about the candidates in the Chicago mayoral race.
“Before we go to break, I want to make a quick point. We were having a discussion about the Chicago mayoral race just a moment ago. My friend Andy Shaw used the term ‘in the crosshairs’ in talking about the candidates. We’re trying, we’re trying to get away from that language. Andy is a good friend, he’s covered politics for a long time, but we’re trying to get away from that kind of language. We won’t always be perfect. So hold us accountable when we don’t meet your standards.”
Oops! Looks like someone at CNN forgot to tell Andy Shaw that he was about to enter a politically correct zone and that any usage of a gun related word when referring to a candidate is now verboten even if you aren’t targeting one.
I bet CNN is glad they canceled Crossfire several years ago.

I would like media to know I would like them to stop the PC mularky. That offends me as well as the lowering of standards of polite language with all the four letter words which have no “intelligent” meaning.
I have an idea. How about in this P.C. world of the PRO-Left Progressive
Liberal media,,,,we put ONE HOUR of TV on late ,,similar to Fox’s ‘Red Eye’
but on the PC media channels,,,say 2am,,,& let everyone use what ever words they want ,no matter HOW offensive they may be (it’s still protected)
& LET IT ALL HANG OUT. yes?? no???
Maybe be we should call John King ‘John Queen’,,,or ‘John Princess’..WHY?
I believe he has had “Them” removed,,,as many of the other “Men” on the PRO-Left Stations ,,who also seem to have been “Gelded” somewhere along the line. WHAT A BUNCH OF WIMPS !!!!! If you are AFRAID of words,,then you are in the WRONG business,,,GET IT???
A great man once said “,,as long as words do not break my bones,,or pick my pockets,,how can they hurt me??”" (I am paraphrasing)
My Opinion Only.
Funny considering that CNN’s parent company, Time Warner, has a channel with violent connotations: TNT. This is the same TNT that has News Corp employees (mostly in sports) Pam Oliver, Dick Stockton, Larry McReynolds, Adam Alexander, Kyle Petty, Matt Yocum, and Ralph Sheheen. Anybody wonder if CNN’s Dr. Gupta has done any conditioning (read “mind control”) to them?
We’ve become a finicky nation!
PC wordage will eliminate this Nation.
We, the USA Electorate, simply need to say what we feel, as we can.
If it is Incorrect IAW with the LEFTIST rules, so be it.

Why do I have to keep looking at that bastard George Soros as your profile picture??? Pls change it or unsubscribe me from further communications.
