STOP IT! McCain going on Larry King is NOT CNN giving him free ad time

[scheming daemons]

It's no different than when Obama went on Larry King.


You make Democrats look like idiots if you call to complain about McCain being on Larry King.

1. Is that what that sudden flare up was all about??

[eshfemme]

6. Oh yeah, I was wondering WTF people were talking about with teh free hour of air time

Jesus Fucking Christ, people! That's a ridiculous thing to get pissed about.

[Peacetrain]

11. I was posting on another thread..

came up and saw more than on about McCain getting free air time.. whoa.. glad to find out it was only Larry King.. I thought for a second that CNN was giving free time to counter the paid Obama commerical.
You can tell we are getting close to the end. People are on pin and needles.. :hi:

[eshfemme]

14. Yeah but c'mon, it's Larry King! WTF are people going ballistic over?

I can understand the anticipation of election day but this kind of BS is ridiculous. Then people bringing up the antiquated fairness doctrine and all that shit.

But yeah, I kinda wish that other thread didn't make it seem like McCain got a free infomercial out of CNN instead of just a normal interview. It's just asking to start drama that would end with DUers looking idiotic with egg on their faces.

So yeah, hopefully the cooler heads will prevail in the end.

Thank you.
I never saw such a bunch of people who love to set their hair on fire. It gets tiring....

3. Thats what people are complaining about? Thats not free air time

4. Yummy ! More nails for the coffin

17. That's the way I look at it too

He'll bury himself... and besides, who watches Larry King anyway? hahaha... and if/when he makes a gaffe or two, it will be all over the internets in two seconds!

:P

7. If that's all it is, then that's right

From the way the story was described here, I thought CNN was going to give McCain a block of free and unfettered air time, with no reporters and no questions (i.e. not news story coverage) akin to the block of time Obama is paying for.

8. Based on McCain's awful Meet The Press appearance on Sunday, wouldn't we WANT him to go on these

talk shows and further screw things up?

[Uzybone]

9. The hard and fast pitches of Larry King

not.

Larry King; for a veteran softball questioner, actually asks follow up questions. He will be a tougher interview than Brian Williams.

[progressoid]

10. But, but, but, what will I do with all of this bravado and furor??

:shrug:

12. Calamity Howlers

Thom Hartmann played a tape of a speech by FDR. FDR used this phrase. It is very appropriate

[WeDidIt]

13. Yuppers, I jumped teh gun on this one.

Larry King is very careful to offer equal time.

[insanity]

15. This a Rovian Trap

It had to be said.

I agree, this is nonesense. Hell, lets keep McCain talking.

[David__77]

16. I know. Everyone calm down. Work hard. Be diligent and disciplined.

One week to go. There's plenty of new traps awaiting McCain in the next week.

18. HAHAHAHA! McCain "punished" CNN by cancelling his

interview with Larry King over Campbell Brown's daring to ask Tucker Bounds a real question about Gov. Palin's experience. Now it looks as though he is begging Larry King for an interview because he needs the air time. I wonder if Larry King will bring up that cancellation and the reason for it.
