One particular moment that stood out was when an Iowa voter candidly shared with him that neither he nor his family places trust in the content churned out by CNN, describing it as an attempt to peddle biased information rather than deliver unbiased news.

From BizPacReview:
CNN recently aired a captivating segment featuring host John King—a true eye-opener for the network's audience. During his visit to Iowa, a crucial early-voting state, King encountered a striking array of responses from hardworking individuals. One particular moment that stood out was when an Iowa voter candidly shared with him that neither he nor his family places trust in the content churned out by CNN, describing it as an attempt to peddle biased information rather than deliver unbiased news. This unexpected revelation left King visibly surprised, shedding light on the perception of the channel as something akin to a propaganda outlet.
The company’s CEO, Chris Mudd explained that while he does give President Joe Biden some credit, he is still a Trump supporter who longs for a return to sanity in next year’s election and would have preferred if the money for the green energy tax credits was instead spent on a wall at the nation’s porous southern border.
“Do I think that Donald Trump’s perfect? No,” he told King. “Personally, I’m not a big fan of who he is and what he does and how he lives but I think the decisions and the things that he did for our country were good.”
“Why are they attacking him so hard?” Mudd said of the latest indictment of Trump by the Biden regime’s legal assassin Jack Smith. “Why are they going after this guy so hard? Does everybody really believe that everything that happened is exactly the way that the government’s laying it out today? I don’t.”
King then spoke to members of the Mudd family who were sitting at a long conference table whom he acknowledged, “don’t watch and don’t trust CNN.”
“I think he thinks he stole it from him,” Mudd’s elderly father Jim Sr. said regarding Trump’s insistence that the 2020 election was rigged. “And I and a lot of people agree with him.”
On the prosecutions against Trump, the senior citizen noted, “Nothing about that deal is the American way,” having lived in a time when it was a much different country than it is today under Biden’s banana republic style of governance. “I don’t think.”
But King was completely flummoxed when asking for a show of hands of how many Mudd family members believed that the United States should be “supporting Ukraine in the fight against Putin,” and nobody raised theirs.
Another family member’s remarks on Biden and Ukraine stunned King into a brief moment of silence.
“You don’t have to be that smart to put…connect the dots right? Is the war to cover up sins committed so you can cover your tracks?” he asked, adding “There’s too much money that’s been thrown over there.”
Naturally, King later dismissed these voters' allegations against the network and the Biden administration as mere conspiracy theories, as he shared with his fellow CNN hosts.
While they might find amusement in such dismissals, it's essential to recognize that the public is well-aware of the shortcomings in our media landscape. People are astute and perceptive, far more so than some of the liberal elites might acknowledge.
