Larry King and Newsweek turn down Kitty Kelly ......(On Imus)

[cthrumatrix]

Saying she is "unreliable". Coming from a magazine that stacks a

repugs over dems in their latest poll....it's no suprrise.


Can Kerry come back from ? EXCUSE ME.... they are tied. The network

whores have the marchings orders: dumbdown the "cola abuse".

[incapsulated]

1. Larry King refuses Kitty?!

I don't believe it.

[vetwife]

4. I do ..He is a light weight !

[incapsulated]

6. Exactly

Which is why she is one of his favorite guests.

If he doesn't have her on, it's pure Bush bias.

[hlthe2b]

22. King is best buds with Bush I... When Kelley was on not long ago

discussing the Royals, she tried to bring up her upcoming book on the Bushies* and King absolutely cut her off. I knew he wouldn't have her on...

[mbali]

16. No - screaming tabloid harpies like Nancy Grace are SO much more reliable

[slojim240]

28. They didn't refuse the Swift boaters. Let's start a write-in campaign.

If there is anything in the book that is not true, don't you think the Bush's will sue?

[okieinpain]

46. I damn sure don't believe it. you've got to be kidding.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. How many of these clowns

drummed up the Swift Liar's accusations? Couldn't we throw this back in their faces as an example of media bias? Oh, I forgot-they won't show anything that implies they aren't the "liberal media".

[clydefrand]

3. Did Larry King say she is unreliable?

If so, why in hell has he had her on show so many times telling about the royals? Sounds like he's taking sides with the bushco.

[cthrumatrix]

5. bigtime..... larry is "under orders"

[DeepModem Mom]

9. Exactly -- if King doesn't have her on, it's a story --

although for something to be a story, it has to come through the same controlled media.

[Algorem]

7. She probably told him she was friends with Sinatra or something.

[mbali]

19. How did she suddenly become unreliable in the last six months?

King seemed to think she was quite reliable as recently as last March 10 when she appeared on his show to discuss Princess Diana.

And January 7, 2004
And 4 times in 2003
And 8 times in 2002
And dozens of other times before that . . .

If Kitty Kelley is so unreliable, what does it say about Larry King that he has so frequently featured her on his program?

Or, let me guess. She was perfectly reliable UNTIL she dished the dirt on King George.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Good catch on those appearance dates. You nailed it. . . . . nt

[slojim240]

31. Send this to Larry and ask him the question. Great catch!!!

You know, the people here at DU make some damned good detectives and analysts. The Fed should hire us.

[progressivebydesign]

41. Thanks for finding that! I knew she'd been on there!! ha!! n/t

[OKNancy]

8. Larry King - who has cultist psychics

and other nutballs on all the time.

[TomClash]

14. "Larry King - who has cultist psychics"

. . . and who has aired every fart who has ever written about the Royal Family.

[mbali]

30. Not to mention that he's the show of record for Laci, Kobe & every other

tabloid story that comes down the pike.

[Dookus]

17. exactly, OKNancy

he LOVES Sylvia Brown and John Edward. But Kitty Kelley is "unreliable"?

[OKNancy]

20. LOL

You know, I think we are of one mind on this subject.

[KharmaTrain]

23. Nancy...Don't Forget The Fundies...

He brings on Dobson and Shueller like they're elected national leaders, instead of selfish, greedy hypocrites. Then there's Tony Robbins & Dr. Phil and the unloved Dr. Laura.

Sadly, in the 70's, I idolized Larry...even had the chance to meet him and pick his brains over coffee one day. He pioneered a lot of good talk radio...based in DC and wasn't afraid to say he was both a Democrat and a liberal. He was the first person I remember hearing use the word "right wing wacko".

Looks like things have changed since he went "Hollywood". His shows now deal with a lot of death & dying. We joke here that an appearance on Larry King Dead must be an omen. He no longer has any edge on his interviews and does a lot of pandering for his corporate masters.

No doubt, CNNservative is out to protect Time Warner's media monopoly interests and they see maintaining this regime as imperative. There are still outstanding dereg bills that could enable this media monster to gobble up TV stations and cable systems...and they almost rammed it through last year. Another 4 years of this regime...especially one that has shut down the Democrats and that big money pile is within reach.

I'm carefully watching how the Time machine is working right now...Time/Gallup/CNNservative...as they appear to be manufacaturing news as opposed to reporting it. One day, I suspect, journalism students will study this time like they did McCarthyism in the 50's as to the abuse of media by politicians.

[LTR]

24. Hey! Don't knock Tony Robbins!

I like his stuff.

[KharmaTrain]

29. The Guy's Smile Gives Me The Creeps...LOL

Call me a pessimist, but this guy's too damn cheery for me. And those teeth!!! Otherwise, I'm sure he's truly inspirational. LOL.

Cheers!

[LTR]

35. Yeah, I could see him scaring a few people

I actually met the him. Did you know he's 6'7"? The guy's a skyscraper with teeth!

Very nice guy, though.

[ellie]

47. He has banana hands!

11. Complain to CNN here!

[DeepModem Mom]

12. We need to barrage CNN re. King/Kelley, even if it does no good --

Larry's had her on before. It's outrageous! And this control of the media is getting truly frightening --

13. the network of wolf and candy is now in total "spin mode"

[PA Democrat]

15. Then why did Larry the Whore King have Kitty on as a guest in the past?

Larry had Kitty Kelley on his show to discuss Prince William on June 21, 2000.

http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0006/21/lkl.00.html

Hmmm....

[mbali]

32. He's had her on dozens of times.

Most recently, just six months ago.

[AmerDem]

18. not surprised...King is in good with Poppy Shrub

Larry King is a no talent goof.

[Clinton Crusader]

25. hang on, hang on....

Larry King said she was unreliable?

bwa ha ha ha ha! He has loony bin psychics on that get not one fucking thing right until they ask 4 million questions, hey *I* could do that! He's had anyone and everyone on who's ever written a freakin' book on ANYTHING. Sweet Moses how far this this media whorehouse go?
:kick:

[Alpharetta]

26. I view it as failures of her agent, publicist, and publisher

She also needed an alliance with a magazine to serialize her book.

(20/20 hindsight here)

[mbali]

33. How is that a failure of her people if the magazines refuse to use it?

[Alpharetta]

37. media works in conglomerates

my understanding is book deals can come with commitments for things like interviews on shows and features in magazines

[mbali]

38. Only if the magazines agree in advance. Not up to the publisher.

[Darby]

27. Call CNN [phone] or e-mail at [e-mail]

[no_hypocrisy]

34. Kitty Kelley unreliable? Compared to whom: Lucianne Goldberg?!

This book is too important for Kelley NOT to have at least 2-3 sources to crossreference every sentence.

[cthrumatrix]

36. her legal teams have reviewed the book a number of times

just like they did to Michael Moore...shoot the messenger.

Don't dare look at facts and see if they are correct as presented

[2bfree]

39. I bet if this book sells enough the media will be forced to report on it.

That is what I keep telling myself!

[graywarrior]

40. Disney refused 911. Look what happened.

[loudsue]

42. This issue requires MAXIMUM DU Activism!!!

Let's out these guys for what they're doing!! Don't rest until they give up and give in!!

:kick::kick::kick:

[RoyalWickedness]

43. Don't expect Larry to step up to the plate, now...

He wouldn't have Michael Moore on, either, even though Fahrenheit 911 was one of the hottest (pardon the pun) movies of the summer.

[Tomee450]

44. I'm not surprised.

The last time King interviewed Kelly, he was quite unfriendly to her. I was surprised at his attitude since in previous interviews with her he had been quite the opposite. Larry King has changed somewhat during the past few years.

[David Zephyr]

45. And A Proven Liar and Watergate Hit Man, John O'Neill Isn't "Unreliable"?

There's a pattern here. A real pattern.

Three weeks of non-stop flirting with a known liar and his completely discredited charges by the media is what? Reliable journalism?

CBS censors a benign story on the Reagans.

Disney, yielding to White House pressure to censor, refuses to distribute 9/11 costing their stockholders the most profitable venture of the year.

Journalists and newspaper reporters who dared criticize George W. Bush have been systematically fired from their jobs since the earliest days of this administration.

The author of "Fortunate Son" which was the first truly researched book exposing George W. Bush is suicided in a motel.

The fact that Kitty Kelly, one of the world's top grossing biographers, is blacklisted (that's what it is) from top television talk shows that regularly pander to nuts who "communicate with the dead" to strippers because she is not "reliable" is just bullshit.

It's not because she is not "reliable", but because the subject is the Bush family.

If it were Kerry, Clinton or any prominent Democrat, they'd be booking her for weeks on end.

Unreliable, my ass!

Just another episode in a pattern of double standards by the corporate media in their mission to re-elect George Bush.

Keep an eye out for the adjectives of choice that Bush ass-licker, Wolf Blitzer, will sprinkle his speech with when referring to Kitty Kelly. It will be hillarious.

[arwalden]

48. Yet He Continues To Have Sylvia Browne As A Guest. OMG...

he's now citing "reliability" as a criteria for being invited on to the Larry King Show and he still has "psychic" Sylvia Browne as a frequent guest... and she's even LESS reliable.
