CNN Breaks Larry King Story: 'Here's Larry's Tweet'

Last night CNN host Larry King announced that he would be leaving his show this Fall. In an unusual move for such a big piece of news, the news was broken via Twitter, with King making the announcement directly to his followers, and linking back to a blog post on CNN.com.

What made it even stranger is that CNN’s flagship television network broke in to its Elena Kagan coverage a few minutes later to break the news about King’s departure… and it cited Twitter.
