Where Has CNN’s John King Been?

A tipster recently asked us about CNN’s John King. Indeed, the cable channel’s national correspondent had been missing from the airwaves for almost a month, and from Twitter just as long.

Well, as it turns out King has been on an extended vacation with his family, a post-election break if you will. He returned to CNN’s air this morning, and is expected to return to help lead the network’s coverage of President Obama’s second Inauguration later this month.

He also contributed to the network’s reporting in the wake of the Newtown tragedy.
