28. The last time I watched any of was last summer

I remember ISIS & Ebola there was a lot of reporting of Ferguson protests which the media which focused on how long they have been continuously occurring, still out there at 3am but very little as to why. At first references to a shooting but no reporting during the brief times I did catch coverage as to what the specific details are.

MSNBC during the mid to late 2000s era, had CNN style reported all day before the Keith Olbermann or the Hardball which I never watched. I recall reporting that I only vaguely recall the details which mentioned (which I view a lot of inside knowledge reporting with skepticism) jealously on the part of Chris Matthews regarding MSNBC primarily interested in Donahue's show, I don't know if he played a part in getting him fired but they canned him simply because he was anti-war voice, he also had the highest rated show so that reeks of un-trustworthiness.

Out of the 3, CNN I view as more trustworthy, they need to can Don Lemon if they haven't already. He was the worst guy in CNN to send to do field reporting in Fergeuson. Or following the grand jury decision he opened up with some "tough love" which included pulling up your pants like blaming the victim for the discrimination.

I will say, Larry King in the first time I ever seen him interviewed who I value if he says something as likely to be true when he had nothing bad to say about CNN, said no if he ever noticed a direction in bias, said no. Mentioned, very favorably of Turner calling him the "greatest guy I ever worked with" said no one ever told him to "lets go get this guy" or "back off" on this one. Larry King alone improved CNN's stock in my eyes a great deal in that one interview.

Pay no attention to the title of the video that isn't close to what he really said. The interview mentioned the opinion style journalists which she considers herself to be one -- Larry King simply said that isn't the way he operated mentioning he never "brought his opinion" to the air. He didn't say they aren't journalists or Greenwald isn't one though he was the example to highlight the discussion. He just mentions he came from a different era but he says he doesn't knock it, that he "loves the business", it is what it is, & that there are so many choices out there. But my favorite quote during the whole interview is "I never learned anything when I said something". In another rare Larry King being interviewed on the same network he referenced when people used to guess if Conkrite was a liberal or conservative because you really couldn't tell which was the era of journalism he came from.
