You mean that you want the name "kingcountyjournal.com" to resolve to
the address of "usnlbc.us.publicus.com", namely 209.225.11.186?

Because "kingcountyjournal.com" is the name of a domain, you can't use
it as the name of an alias (CNAME).

That means you need to create an A record with that actual address:

   kingcountyjournal.com  IN A 209.225.11.186

Though if the line goes exactly where your faulty line was, you can and
should abbreviate that to:

   IN A 209.225.11.186

If the address of "usnlbc.us.publicus.com" ever changes, you will need
to update the kingcountyjournal.com zone.

Regards, K.
