Former CNN host Larry King criticized his network of 25 years on Thursday for being “not [a] news network” and chided his former colleague Jim Acosta for his conduct at a White House press briefing.
In an interview with Law and Crime Network, King said the question of whether the White House should have revoked Acosta’s hard pass was an “interesting” one. “I’m a big supporter of free speech, but on the other hand, there are 50 press passes at CNN to the White House,” he pointed out.
Ultimately though, he said he supported CNN’s lawsuit: “Of course I’ll stand with Acosta and CNN and Fox – even Fox is in on it.”
But when it came to the actual conduct at the press conference that sparked the whole controversy, King said Acosta “was a little out of line” in refusing to yield the microphone to a White House intern.
“I wouldn’t have gone that far. [Trump] answered one or two questions. Then he didn’t want to answer anymore. You got a room full of people, all of whom have the right to ask questions. Jim might have gone a little far,” he continued. “To me, you know what this was? Eighth grade. It was the playground, ‘That’s my ball and I wanna play today on the team.’ It was childish.” more
Even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while.
Fake news with outrage for affect.
I see stupid people and evil people.
Where was the outrage when Berry kicked reporters out? And remember when he locked them in a room, at the golf course was it?
BTW Joan Rivers was right about that thing he married.
BREAKING: LARRY KING APPARENTLY STILL ALIVE.
I’m pretty sure CNN has no Constitutional right to be in that room, and if so, just go to another room, –invite only.
….or doesn’t Trump have the right to hold a private press conference?
What’s a million lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start.
But of course I’ll stick with Acosta even though he’s really a stupid little prick, but I hate President Trump. So there!
I keep thinking that Larry King died sometime in the 90’s. It always surprise me to find out he is alive.
“To me, you know what this was? Eighth grade. It was the playground,…”
If it had been 8th grade, Acosta would have been beaten up by the girl attempting to retrieve the microphone and all the guys would be pointing fingers at acosta, laughing.
“Of course I’ll stand with Acosta and CNN and Fox – even Fox is in on it.”
Oh, Fox is in on it? Welp, give that man back his hard pass. Case closed. I’m going to a cocktail party tonight!
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and let me tell
you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
Now i’m very happy I found this during my search for something regarding this.
