a talk show go and larry king live be not bad and and since he occasionally get good guest and it a show to turn on once in awhile and but not compulsively . when bill maher and carl bernstein and a former president and or other substantive guest sit across from him and it not too bad . other time and he tend to host guest involve in the late celebrity scandal which contribute absolutely no intelligent information to the country and feed a largely uneducated public that want to hear the late gossip about movie and tv star . during the oj simpson trial and it seem like every other guest on his show be relate to the case . but be this really journalism . or the national enquirer on the tube . sometimes and it come off a little bit like trash television jerry springer in a sit down interview with phone call instead of a live audience . on the other side and king show be definitely much good than bill oreilly whose show be nothing more than a right political platform of the rush limbaugh variety . that say and larry king be not a bad interviewer and but ala and he be not a great one . king do not always come off like he completely comprehend when intellectual material be be present and especially if it be by a scholar or historian with a new book on subtle aspect of politics . always seem like the minute king can not quite deal with the issue at hand and that when he turn to the phone call and maybe hop someone out in the country will have a good question than he have . he might interview someone like david gergen and but may not have read any of his book . sort of like the movie producer that never bother to read the script . when it an entertainment celebrity and no problem . he can come off like he thoroughly knowledgeable since the material be not that substantive anyway . talk to elizabeth taylor about her relationship with richard burton be not exactly rocket science . and i notice he usually have see the star late movie . watch a movie take much less time and contemplation than read a book . however and if it the like of john dean or bob woodward and king come off a little like he do not quite finish his homework . so off to the phone . if you be look for real in depth interviewing and terry gross of npr be probably the best interviewer in the united state . she read and or or research everything write by or about her guest beforehand and have a work knowledge of those area . i do not see king quite do that . grant and he probably have an audience 1000 time large than terry gross and which may say more about the american audience than king . in short and larry be good than bill but not as good a terry .
