Is Larry King f'ing clueless or what?
Every other news outlet is covering the Clarke book.
King has on the Scott Petersen case. Is there anyone who is watching CNN for its Petersen coverage? Can we slip King something to give him his final heart attack so that we can have real news coverage?

1. So many people in the Empire are clueless these days
Can we really single out Larry King?

3. Larry King's not so bad
I'm sure there is a market for that Peterson coverage.

2. his coverage of serious issues usually suck also
remember larry king moderating the primary debates ? i don't think the guy cares or is into serious issues. he would rather report on liza minelli's marriages, or the scott peterson care as you mention and other crap.

4. well look at Cnn's homepage
today the ONLY references to clarke were in headlines like...bush denies clarke accusations, Rice pounces on Clarke, WH defends clarke allegations

5. King has been relegated to do
the mindless current affairs issues. When the Peterson case was new, that was ALL he had on for weeks and weeks. BORING!

6. LK misses a lot - what is it with him and this Petersen case?
Like, who cares?

I guess we'll have to wait till Aaron Brown talks about it.

7. Swear To God, My 1st Thought On Seeing A Big Screen TV For The First Time
was how scary Larry King's face would be THAT BIG!

8. I like Larry King....

but his show often focuses on scandal and shock
issues that have no relevance to most people. Maybe
tomorrow he will do an update on Michael Jackson....

boooring!

I just switch channels.

11. Ease up.
The old bag is tired and needs to put on his Walter Wenschell act for old times' sake. Besides, he has really horrible gas and the set needs to be sprayed with Lysol several times during the taping (yes, taping) of the show.

He probably has the same Peterson case people on because they have some olfactory dysfunction and cannot smell his farts.

12. Takes time to book these people
Clarke's been everywhere today -- probably didn't have time to go on LK. Plus, I'm sure King had the Petersen show booked days, if not weeks, ago.

Give ol' Larry a break!

16. I've spent the whole day wondering what's up with the Scott Peterson case.
Thanks Larry, you dimwit. How can a person that appears to be so stupid have so much money? This is the great paradox of capitalism.

17. Larry King is good at two things
1. Distraction news (examples: Scott Peterson, Martha Stewart, Chandra Levy, shark attacks, Elizabeth Smart, and OJ back in the day)

2. Salutes to old, dead showbiz people

He is nothing when it comes to hard news.

19. I don't care if God herself appeared on Larry King.I wouldn't watch.
After that "debate,"...Kucinich a socialist, not letting DK answer the questions everyone else got to answer...He's nothing but...don't believe anyone is worthless, but he comes pretty durn close.

20. Larry should stick to...
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 11:45 PM by fujiyama
worthless crap, because when he tried doing substantive he often does a really shitty job. So he'll continue with Michael Jackson, Lacy Peterson, Kobe Bryant, and whatever other celebrity trial.
