  1. With all respect to the legendary News Presenter and humanitarian John King and the CNN Team and the CNN Contributors, I have to give my feedback. You see, when a famous person or global news presenter like Mr King for example, unveils that he hasa tragic illness--and multiple sclerosis is tragic--unwittingly he sends sadness a wave of sadness and pity into millions of homes across his country and the world. It may sound exaggerated but it's not; some people need days to get over hearing bad news like that. That's right, some people hearing that John King has multiple sclerosis will not get over it for a long, long time. Why? Because they like him so much; he's like a virtual friend. He has conciously tried to do a humane thing---but he has not realized that it comes off as something quite different. Anyone on stage or in a television studio or in a movie has to understand that their actions are multiplied by at least ten. It's just my analysis, but I think when people in any level of recognition in the media have bad news about their health, it's best to keep it in the family and one's circle of friends. We all feel bad for John King now, and rightfully so, but when I say we I mean probably millions of people are feeling sorry for him. It's an opinion.
