      Way to go, Romer! Don't let these ignorant talking heads get by with cropping quotes and asking snarky questions. Point out there error, and accomplish two goals: educate the public on what's really happening, and show these fools for the partisan hacks they are.

      Mr. King, if you let your writers or producers put you into this spot, I'd have a talk with your agent. It's possible that buried in your contract is a clause that the network can make you look like a fool in furtherance of partisan ideals, but you should check to be sure.

        Well, caught cropping a quote to set up a sound bite to further a false difference of opinion in order to hopefully boost ratings, since that is what really matters in the news ratings game. (truth be dam*ed)

      John King is just another hack! His only talent is making rhetorical questions sound more like legitimate questions.
