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.'"
Bush is still waiting for his.
So when are all the pundits who were so sure the bombers were right wing Republican Tea Party members going to apologize?
(CRICKETS)
Wrong? Embarrassing?
What the “media” did was attempt to one-up each other, pitching the narrative the bombings were the work of white, pickup-driving, tax-hating, Tea Party supporting men with NRA T-shirts. They pushed it hard in the opening hours, throwing the long ball hoping against hope it was true. One can only imagine how crestfallen they all were when the perps were ID’d as Chechens.
And they’re going to pull this EVERY time some kind of attack like this occurs.
No apology for covering up the Gosnell trial, though. CNN is quite comfortable with mass destruction of small children and its Nazi-based agent, Planned Parenthood
And waddyaknow? It's the one thing they haven't done.
