John King's Magic Has Hit a Wall

Say good-bye to screeds on anti-immigration and hello to the "magic wall." 

CNN anchor and maestro of the magic wall John King is bringing his niche expertise in the field of big screens that you touch to move things around to Lou Dobb's old afternoon time slot. Just imagine what Lou Dobbs could have done if he was given access to a magic grid outlining the locations of all the country's illegal immigrants.

King doesn't just plan to use the technology. He's banking that the veritable oversized iPhone app will actually woo voters (because he's too boring to do so) and "bring people closer." Kind of like how viewers came together last election to mock CNN's beam-me-up Blitzer hologram wholesale.

Anyone with cursory knowledge of Google Maps and its zoom function has experienced the same phenomenon as John King's multi-touch collaboration wall yet CNN treats the technology as if it's discovered the internet.
