Meet Your Liberal Media: King of Crap Edition

Larry King asked for an interview with Michael Moore, but then never followed through. This article "asks" whether King was pressured by the Bush administration to keep Moore off, but doesn't quote anyone, even Moore, who suggests that is the case. But that's not the point here.

The article illustrates what CNN considers news these days:

Recent hour-long guests on "Larry King Live" have included Gene Hackman, the parents of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and psychic Char Margolis.

Yes, Larry King is the biggest freak show on cable "news." Last week he interviewed some former Playboy model who lost custody of her kids, conceieved during an affair with a married man, to their biological father. That's important. Last night, an actress who was stabbed a stalker (in the 1980s, I believe). And then there's the biggest freak in the sideshow, Nancy Grace.

No wonder The Daily Show is the main source of television news for many. It actually mentions the news.
