WASHINGTON -- CNN's John King says he is embarrassed after wrongly reporting last week that a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings was arrested, calling the mistake a "double kick in the head" because he's a Boston native.

"When you do something like this, it's embarrassing," King, the network's chief national correspondent, told WTOP on Tuesday. "The one thing you have to do is look straight in the camera and say, 'We were wrong.'"

Say it about 1 million more times and then I will accept your apology.

That makes him a thousand times the man that Dan Rather is.
(to my knowledge Mr. What’s The Frequency has NEVER apologized nor backed down from the Bush Air Force Reserve letter written in Microsoft Word in 1973.)

I won’t be holding my breath for any apologies over trying to pin the thing on conservatives. They’re still at it.

This false self inspection by the media, when it happens, means absolutely nothing as they just go back and do the same things over and over. Look at all the hand wringing after Giffords was shot and how they went right back to their knee-jerk reaction of blaming conservatives for any violent act. This crap is just for the low info voters who don’t have enough brain cells to know the difference.

It was interesting watching him reporting after that “mistake”....Ol’Blitzer had his hands full trying to shore him up...you could see the wind went out of his sail bigtime!

I do believe this shook him up just by the things Walt said....he wasn’t standing sure of himself at all.

Somehow I doubt these leftist fake journalists are embarrassed when their service to the little barry bastard mooselimb is exposed. I suspect they feel proud that they get away with so many treacherous acts.

Hey john King, how about apologizing as well for teh idiot lady who insisted in the 6 PM hour on CNN that all the victims were “muslims, innocent muslims” based off of absolutely nothing?
If I could have saved audio of it to further embarrass you with, I would have!

I think it was on the DUFU this morning -

they were saying that even though they were wrong about who it actually was,

they were absolutely right about who it could have been,
according to the evidence.

It’s not just that they were wrong, they openly showed their bias and how they wanted it to be and how they wanted it to play out.

Not only has he not apologized, Rather still insists the story was accurate and no one has proved the document was inaccurate. Proving once again that liberalism is a mental disorder.

I want to hear them admit which falsehoods were given to them by the White House/DNC to get their digs in before any facts were released.

Proving once again that Stalinists lie. Always.

George Orwell knew their lot. He was a Socialist who spoke out against their deception. And it wasn't just Stalinists in the USSR. It was Red Dupes in America and the UK who carried his water and denied any wrongdoing.

When have you ever been right about anything, Communist News Network? C’mon, the entire leftist media was praying to their god (satan) that the attack was perpetrated by a crazed white Christian Patriot group!!

Don’t worry about it John; there are so many idiots in the MSM that no one really had time to notice you on any kind of personal level. You’re just one little microbe in a big mass of idiot sludge.
