I can't help being astonished at The utter irony in which the lessons of CNN'S failure learned being so hopelessly lost on the New York Times. Are they so blind, oblivious to reality as not to see the very design to their own imminent demise as reflected in this article?

"...CNN executives will not say whether they will renew Mr. King’s contract when it ends next year...."

Larry's toast.

Larry King.

Hey Abb add to your ping list

[Recon Dad]

the interview was booked by his higher-rated competitor, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow

Higher rated, LMAO! That's like saying I'm going to Hardee’s instead of Sonic! His mistake was he didn't go to McDonald's (FOX)!

Why watch an old, tired, worn out, slobbering, brain dead, biased, unfair, ineffective, mediocre, outdated, media...or Larry King for that matter

[Nonstatist]

Their only option is to go after MSNBC’s market share. Put out more shows like Crossfire. They can fight for second place.

I wonder how the forums would respond to seeing FOX hire Campbell Brown, and giving her the 7 PM hour?

It would get liberals to tune in...some may stay and get converted. It would also demonstrate ‘fair and balanced’.

NOT!!

[Psalm 144]

So . . .

Basically this is about whether the vultures or the jackals get the lion’s table scraps.

Do I have this right? That what was once called the ‘MSM’ is now on a scavenger ecology, and no longer are predators?

Larry “Stin” King needs to wrap it up.

[4yearlurker]

Gee.....who on earth can CNN hire to fill Larry’s shoulder pads?

[USNBandit]

The other night King had a show about the oil spill. The guests he had on the show to talk about the oil spill?......Bill Nye the Science Guy, the deuchebag captain from “the Deadliest Catch,” and Ted Danson. Not exactly a bunch of heavy hitters.

How depressing, to be beat out by the likes of Maddow. Basically the ratings for any non-Fox News show are dismal. CNN and MSNBC are like post-earthquake dogs in Haiti fighting over fly-ridden scraps.

I really feel CNN’s time is past. Its format was suited to the days when cable news programming was the fresh and (comparatively) unbiased alternative to the networks. Now there are multiple cable news channels and literally dozens of cable talk shows to choose from. Put simply, CNN just isn’t the “one stop” channel it was twenty or even fifteen years ago.

Also, I think CNN has suffered because it is both too biased and not biased enough. That is, it has enough leftward bias to turn off many conservative viewers, but doesn’t have the frothing-at-the-mouth moonbattery that defines the typical MSNBC viewer (and host).

KIng has another problem..members of his core audience keep dying off from old age.
