Interesting. What do you think about King? I don't watch him very often, but when I have I don't get the impression that slants his questions to support leftist propaganda. Remember Diane Sawyer's interview with the President in the White House? So sickening. Larry doesn't behave that way .... does he?

Or Connie "Shhh, I have a secret" Chung. I can't stand Larry The Lizard King. When he has female guests on, I always anticipate his tongue will fall off its roller.

I haven't watched Larry, or for that matter CNN for several years, since our cable started offering Fox News at least.

I saw this being discussed on another board, and I hunted around for the transcript.

King had Pat Sajak on last year and had the audacity to ask him if Pat was concerned whether his conservative stance might negatively effect his viewership.

King had had Steisand on within the month and the same question never came up.

I don't watch King - his suspenders put me off, but I would agree that he does not seem to have a political axe to grind. My only observation is that regardless of whether he has a Republican or Democrat on, he throws them both softballs and really doesn't follow up on any answers but takes them at face value and moves on. This has always been his modus operandi and it is what has made him what he is today.
His first big break came in radio when he was about the only talk show host who could consistently get Frank Sinatra on the air. Sinatra felt comfortable with King because he never tried to question him about matters that Sinatra felt were personal, ie; the mob, the babes, the tantrums, etc. Through Sinatra, King gained a reputation of being able to land the big interview which led him to CNN and the rest is history. However, to this day, King hasn't changed the interview style that made him successful in the first place.
