Larry King: 'I've Never Seen Bias' on or off Air
Newsmax ^ | 02/13/2014 | Bill Hoffmann

Posted on 02/13/2014 9:46:15 AM PST by Responsibility2nd

Talk-show legend Larry King says that, despite claims the news media have an agenda and slant their coverage, he has never seen bias in reporting in all his years on television and radio.

"I worked at CNN for almost 26 years. I worked in Mutual Radio for 20 years. I've been in the business 57 years. I have never seen a bias off the air or on," King told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.

"I've never seen anyone say, let's go get this person today, let's really ram it into him. I've never seen it. If a Democrat or Republican commits some horrendous story, the story will run, the networks will cover it."

"I have never seen anyone at CNN ever say, boy, here's how we're going to deal with this today to put this guy down and elevate this guy up. I've never seen it," King said Wednesday.

He says this, yet the article goes on to say....

He also took swipes at MSNBC and the Fox News Network.

"MSNBC is liberal, Fox is conservative, they both make no bones about it. I would not call them the place to get great information. You get information, but they're preaching to the choir," he said.

"CNN is in the middle. When a big story breaks, CNN gets viewers, but you don't get a big story every day."

Liberalism is the ability to stand on your head and tell the rest of the world that it is upside down.

The obvious answer is Alzheimers. Or Stage IV senility. This fool is what? 90 years old?

Maybe the real answer to such stupidity is that Larry King is a liberal. And they think they are fair, balanced and objective.

Hoo Boy.

“.......he has never seen bias in reporting in all his years on television and radio.”

“I have never seen a bias off the air or on”

Satan is a liar and the father of all lies.

King has been in communication with Satan far too long.

"...boy, here's how we're going to deal with this today to put this guy down and elevate this guy up..."

It may not have been put exactly that way, but man'o man, that is exactly how the bias happens. King's suspenders are too tight, causing him to be delusional.

He’s either one of the most stupid men alive or he’s a lying sack of sh*t. Or both.

Larry King either doesn’t pay any attention to anything or he’s gone senile if he thinks there’s no bias

“Doublethink is the act of ordinary people simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts.[1] Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy and neutrality. Somewhat related but almost the opposite is cognitive dissonance, where contradictory beliefs cause conflict in one’s mind. Doublethink is notable due to a lack of cognitive dissonance — thus the person is completely unaware of any conflict or contradiction.

George Orwell coined the word doublethink in his dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984); doublethink is part of newspeak.” From Wikipedia

This is the problem with liberal DemocRATS like King. They don’t see any bias because all the Marxist propaganda crap they spew is what they actually believe. If he was a conservative AMERICAN, he’d be able to easily see the bias. You have to be a conservative and an American to see it Larry!

So no bias, eh?

I can think of dozens of fake but accurate scandals that the DNCmedia constantly talked about and promoted when W was around.
I can’t think of a single one they promoted about hussein. Anything he did wrong was always someone elses fault.

So he thinks there is no bias...

I recall King's radio show during the "Fairness Doctrine" era when liberals said that one hour a week of William F. Buckley's Firing Line was all the fairness conservatives needed.

Typical of King was his question to callers who objected to yet another tax increase, "You don't want to pay more taxes? Don't you love you country?"

Of course he doesn't recognized bias -- and never will.
