Hillary on LARRY KING LIVE for full hour on eve of make or break Pennsylvania primary

[flpoljunkie]

I now understand why some call CNN the "Clinton News Network." A full hour of prime time on the eve of the Pennsylvania primary--worth tens of millions of dollars in free advertising--cause we all know how tough an interviewer Larry King is.

This is really quite extraordinary. And, don't bring up Obama being on The Daily Show on Monday night. I think Stewart got a lot of flack when he had Hillary on the night before the crucial March 4 primaries, and this is apparently an effort to achieve some balance.

[cliffordu]

1. I'm taking bets she'll cry.

[Petey Wheatie]

21. Nah, that'll be you Tues night. :-) n/t

[cali]

23. and you

when hilly drops out. that'll be a blast to watch, hillbot.

[Eurobabe]

35. another RushBOT for the ignore list.

C'ya, you know the drill...

[AtomicKitten]

2. Obama trumps that with his appearance on The Daily Show Monday night.

old school vs. new school

:thumbsup:

[YDogg]

6. yeah, but TDS is on after a bunch of old Hillary supporters go to bed

[Auntie Bush]

30. Have you always hated old ladies? You dog you!

well I'm an ole lady and I'm not going to be in bed. If anyone is going to be in "bed" it's all those Young college kids. lol

[YDogg]

42. lol

:hi:

[meow mix]

3. cause she needs free advertising. a gift from the "unbiased" news

[Nitrogenica]

4. maybe they can talk about their shared love of Garlique and Welch's Grape Juice.

[Skink]

5. I mistaked Larry King for Milton Berle in Mr. Warmth.

[Yael]

7. Cue the tears in 5...4...3...

She will probably also use her 'soft bedtime story' voice.

Just more Clintonian drama.

[slinkerwink]

8. Obama's going to be on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart

[flpoljunkie]

14. Stewart had Hillary on the night before the March 4 primaries. This is to balance that, I suspect.

[ErinBerin84]

9. good for her.

I was starting to get creeped out by her choosing Fox over Anderson Cooper and Larry King live.

[NC_Nurse]

10. Meh. Larry King Live is boring as hell. I bet within 5 minutes people who

aren't already pulling for Hillary will have changed the channel. If
they turn it on in the first place.

[blm]

11. House of Saud has major shares in AOL/TimeWarner/CNN. Saudi royals trust Bushes and Clintons

to look out for their interests.

Who do you think they prefer in the WH?

[tishaLA]

12. Maybe a white woman will go missing

Or Lohan will forget to wear her panties again. That will cut the interview down to 8 minutes

[shayes51]

41. Not funny.

Anyone's "going missing" is sad and not a subject for any kind of humor. I have a relative with bipolar disorder and this relative has been missing several times during manic episodes. It is hell on earth for those who love the missing person, black, white, male, or female. I hope you never have this experience.
Someone's forgetting to wear panties, now that is funny (or pitiful, depending on how you look at it!).

[pkz]

13. Timing is everything!

and she has consistently turned him down, til now

[still_one]

15. Well, you know king will ask touch questions, NOT

Frankly I doubt the common folk in Pennsylvania aren't going to be watching Larry King

They are concerned why there is no steel industry in their state, why their jobs have been off-shored, why their homes are being forclosed, why they are paying almost 4 bucks a gallon for gas, and food is at record highs

There was a bankrupcy bill that was passed a few years ago, many of those people are hurting because of that

I think in the last several weeks people realize who helped push NAFTA and trade agreements at the expense of our citizens. Who pushed bills that give corporations tax breaks to off-shore jobs

Clinton may win the Pensylvania primary, but it will be by single digits, and that is nothing for the Clinton camp to brag about

[GoesTo11]

16. What questions do you think King will ask?

LK: Hillary, you have been so strong. How do you do it?

(Oops, this was already asked by someone in New Hampshire)

[flpoljunkie]

17. I can just see King playing the tape--cutting it off before she turns and sticks the knife in Obama-

just like the rest of the main stream media did at the time. Here's the whole "emotional" episode if, by chance, you have not seen it. It is quite extraordinary. Shame on the media for covering for Hillary!

[GoesTo11]

18. Oh, barf.

"Some of us know what we'll do on day one and some of us really haven't thought that through enough"

I had forgotten she used that line as a follow up to the tears.

[flpoljunkie]

22. If the media had ever shown it, Hillary would've lost in New Hampshire, but, of course, they didn't

[KT2000]

19. Wouldn't count on it

Maybe she will get part of the hour but Larry King is on the trail of the Texas story. If there is any news from there, it will cut into HRC's time.

[FrenchieCat]

20. Thanks for letting me know.......to make sure I don't watch it.

CNN is oftentime used, in particular Larry King, to attempt to change the strajectory of elections. It was used in 2004 on Wes Clark, when Dole appeared on the program with him and disparaged his rank as an officer. Wes Clark's response was the only thing that was aired, and it made him appeared to sound pompous and fluxomed.

Wonder what Hillary will accuse Obama of on air. Guess she'll reaffirm her great respect for McCain and then go on and disparage Sen. Obama with unthruths and exaggerations once again.

Guess when one has no money, free info commercial an hour long serves a purpose. Sigh....

[GoldieAZ49]

24. Good job booking that hour of free time, good for PA and the upcoming states!

try not to be bitter about it, Obama has spent $10 million in tv and radio ads.

and don't forget the news coverage, his 'message' is out there, to all those bible thumping gun toting bigots, loud and clear!

It will still be within 10 points.

[peoli]

25. Larry King SUCKS ASS

[SoCalDem]

26. No doubt she'll cry and her lip will tremble and she'll remind us all how much

loves us all and how mean that bitter black man has been to her..:puke:..
or
Maybe larry can draw a unibrow on her and have her give us all a tour..in a creepy little stepford voice..

[Skip Intro]

27. Both are on cable shows they each assume will help them reach their base.

[emilyg]

28. Thanks. I'll watch.

[shayes51]

40. Me, too!

:party:

[defendandprotect]

29. WHY wouldn't the time be split between both of them?

Absolutely weird ---

[flpoljunkie]

32. They don't call it the "Clinton News Network" for nuthin'!

[goldcanyonaz]

31. She chose her hour wisely, Obama was on for an hour a few weeks ago.

[Major Hogwash]

33. Larry King's audience is over 60 years old. It won't sway any new voters.

Larry has one of the oldest audiences on cable teevee.
People that would vote for Obama wouldn't watch him anyway.

[underpants]

34. *ahem* establishment media and their candidate

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=5566767

[AllexxisF1]

36. This is a chance for Larry ...

This is a once in a lifetime chance for Larry to make his 80+ years in broadcasting worth a damn. Larry should surprise the shit out of the entire public and throw some seriously tough questions Hillary's way.

I'm talking 1970's 60 Minutes questions. Questions that make her sweat her ass off on camera.

[AlinPA]

37. While Obama will be at U. Pittsburgh Peterson Event Center (Pitt's basketball

arena in the Oakland section of the city) firin' 'em up.

[MyNameGoesHere]

38. We have CNN you have MSNBC. So?

Not one of the networks are being unbiased this election cycle. Because a candidate does a interview favorable to them this means what? Just more bitching, whining, and moaning from the victim<s> candidate.

[powergirl]

39. Obama will be on the Daily Show tonight

That will be WAY more fun to watch! :bounce:

[Vinca]

43. Larry King must have the most boring program on television.

He's definitely past his prime. I'm glad Barack is on John Stewart tonight.

[jillan]

44. Obama was on Larry King already - you do know that, don't you?

King is giving all of the candidates a turn.

Quit your whining :cry:

[TexasObserver]

45. Larry King is still alive?! I thought he died at age 90 ten years ago!

She's trying to motivate her voters, the over 70 crowd.

Honestly, who knew Larry King was still alive?

Only on the Clinton News Network.
