Stephen King Condemns CNN for Exploiting Families of Missing Malaysian Airliner

Horror novelist Stephen King ripped into CNN for turning the families of the missing Malaysian airliner into “supporting players in a CNN ratings quest.”  Using Twitter, King fired off three tweets at the left-wing network that has faced a lot of criticism for its obsessive and at times unseemly coverage:

—

This constant rehashing of the tragedy shows no respect to the families; it turns them into supporting players in CNN’s ratings quest.

The coverage reminds me of Alfred Austin’s awful couplet: “Across the wires the message came/He is no better, he is much the same.”

Somebody please make CNN stop with the plane coverage. It’s time to move on.
