The News ... The Matrix

POSTED: Tuesday, November 2, 2010, 9:54 PM

How far the touch screen has come. Now it's ... The Matrix!

Keanu Reeves is nowhere to be seen, but CNN's John King demonstrates once again how much more weight comments from an objective journalist carry than the expected gas that emanates from the pundits.

Wielding his instant graphic machine like a matador, he highlighted specific race after specific race when CNN declared the House of Representatives majority would definitely go to the Republicans.

"The breadth and depth of this is important," King said. "It is certainly a repudiation of the president’s agenda. ... It matters not just because of the math. It matters because these Republican candidates say they want to go to Washington to fight the president."
