CNN chief national correspondent John King could be ousted from the network in favour of new Chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper, MailOnline can reveal.

King, 49, has already moved out of his office to make way for Tapper, 43, who was poached by new CNN boss Jeff Zucker from ABC.

There’s only one reason Jake Tapper is so popular- he’s the only reporter whose questions for Obama don’t start with, “Master, may I tongue-wash your feet?”

Bingo!! Tapper is still a liberal Democrat, but he’s not as much of an Obama ass kisser.

We are watching the ‘re-assembly’ of players for the resurrection of the “C”linton “N”ews “N”etwork as preparation for Slick Hillary’s prezidential campaign adventure . . .

Nothing new to see here folks . . .

Please just keep moving along . . .

It’s just the media reorganizing for control of your mind . . .

lol

He’s one of the very few journalists I have any respect for.

Hope he doesn’t lose his mojo.

More than that — hope a few others drop the footwashing routine and emulate his example!

If we had just a dozen *real* hardball journalists with access, we might begin to turn this thing around.

CNN is clearly eliminating the ex-Clinton people, and I expect they will be replaced with people from Obummer’s first administration.
