CNN political correspondent John King admits that some of the criticism of the media’s coverage of the election is valid, Editor & Publisher reports. “We did invest our thinking too much at the beginning in the Clinton juggernaut,” King said in an interview with South Carolina ETV. “Of course, Sen. Clinton was going to win—the Clinton name is the gold standard in Democratic politics.” During the interview, King also admitted he believes some of his colleagues are indeed “out of touch” and that Gov. Sarah Palin has been treated differently by the media.
