From Heather over at Crooks and Liars:

On CNN’s State of the Union, John King is shocked, shocked I tell you that liberal groups would want to take out ads against “centrist” Democrats for taking money from the health care industry and not supporting true health care reform.

In his chat with Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, King whines about a so-called “divided government,” saying that groups like DFA shouldn’t be pressuring Democratic Senators on issues like health care.

Brazile pushes back:

Well, first of all, the Republican party is trying to figure out who is leading them and what their charge is. I think there’s a very vigorous and healthy debate taking place inside the Democratic party…

I agree with Heather:

“If John King were doing his job, he’d be pointing out the conflicts of interest to the public rather than acting shocked that someone else is.”
