Famed former CNN host Larry King said he has never heard of Juanita Broaddrick Thursday in an interview with Steve Malzberg on Newsmax TV.
Broadrrick, a former Arkansas nursing home worker, accused President Clinton of raping her during the late 1970s in a 1998 Dateline interview.
Malzberg was describing a double standard of media coverage during the 2012 conventions, noting left wing pundits dubbed the GOP convention a “convention of rapists” while remaining silent on President Clinton’s keynote address despite sexual assault allegations directed against the former president.
King interjected “Hold up, hold up. Stop! Bill Clinton was accused of rape?” Malzberg reacted incredulously, telling King his obliviousness was revealing considering King’s prior work in the mainstream media.
The former CNN host doubled down and asked Malzberg to start “spreading the name Juanita Broaddrick around and see how many correct answers you get as to who is Juanita Broaddrick.”

A senior moment...
seriously it’s larry king, i am hardly surprised by this admission.
I think there are a lot of things Larry has never heard of.
Him forgetting things he ought to have remembered, I can understand.
He probably forgets to wear his diapers as well.
Couldn’t remember if he had married her?
Is Larry King still breathing?
of course, the Left always wears blinders about other members of the political left. And they do nothing but (mostly falsly) smear those on the political right. Basically, an echo chamber where the only thing that matters is the sound of their own voices. And some of them call themselves “truth seekers”. They are anything but.
Honesty, integrity, professionalism, respectfulness, decency, fairness,trustworthiness, do I need to go on?
No senior moment; agenda driven media. It is not rape unless the media deems it to be rape.
I had to listen to reports in 1991 on the international short wave broadcast bands, because the media would not cover the Clinton's crimes. These were reports by credible witnesses, i.e. Arkansas State Troupers, etc. No excuse, just propaganda from the media, just like our current President. We don't even know who Barack Obama really is.
Let’s be fair here, Larry has been dead for 20 years.
It’s just that no one has bothered to tell him.
so now that he knows……………………so what?
He’ll be interviewing the loving couple and laughing with the slickmeister all the time.
Larry who?
Larry “I like pie” King.
(One of the things he mentioned in his USA Today column years ago.)
Since he’s on his 8th wife, I guess we could throw faithfulness in their too.
He’s been having senior moments since the Carter administration.
That is because he has had his head so far up his ass for so long that he needs a window to see out of.
There were maybe two stories on NBC about Juanita Broaddrick. I’m pretty sure most of the other networks blacked it out at the time. Maybe a couple segments on Hannity & Colmes also. That would be about it. I don’t think her name was ever uttered on CNN.
Larry King has always prided himself on his ignorance and lack of research on any of his guests. He says he likes to know as little as his audience does about his guests, so he would ask the same questions they do.
i think he’s still on cnn b/c cnn has nothing else to run if they cancel him.
when he dies i think they will have a real problem on their hands.
larry is the posterboy for the banal observation.
