I can't buy that one. I can't think of any other Television interviewer who truly listens to the answers he gets from his guests. Most interviewers only think about their next question while the guest is speaking and King is genuinely interested in hearing what they have to say.
I may not care for his personal politics but he is fair to both sides of the aisle and has always treated those he disagrees with with the utmost respect and that includes our current President. And that is precisely why both George Bush's and their wives have been on King's show many times. The man is fair and respectful.
Go watch the interview. Didn't look like he was thinking at all. And he read so many prepared questions he was asking a few that had already been answered. It was obvious he wasn't putting any thought into it. If I had been the doctor or Landis I would have said, "Well Larry, like I just said before"..."Larry, like I just said five minutes ago". He was terrible. Saying he is better than other TV interviewers isn't saying much.
Best interviewer is Rush, maybe I'm spoiled.
