Quoting the Miami Herald’s profile of CNN’s Larry King:
| “King is no fan of the current generation of talk-show hosts, who use their guests as props or punching bags. He calls them ‘I’ hosts, because they are more interested in lecturing their guests than listening to them. ‘I hope I never do that,’ he says. ‘I’m not saying it’s bad. If you watch Bill O’Reilly, that is Bill O’Reilly. It’s not my cup of tea, I don’t care for it, but I can understand why a lot of viewers do… ‘Nancy Grace, I don’t think she has an ‘interviewing style.’ She’s a prosecutor. It’s a prosecutorial style. Very accusatory, harpoonish. I don’t think it’s fair to the judicial system. I believe in the presumption of innocence. When I do a show, I make sure both sides are represented.'” |
