Larry King is retired from CNN, so I guess he's no longer a 'journalist'.
With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." -Alex Kurtagic
On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

I think his nose grew at least 8 inches during the interview.
CNN and Ted Turner - No Agenda ... ya gotta be shittin me.
Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehoods school. And the one man who dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool.

Does Larry King consider himself a "journalist"? Has someone appointed him to decide and define who is and is not worthy of being called a "journalist"?
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
Oh well then. Guess I will have to be like that guy on Oh Brother, Where Art Thou who thought the sireeeeens had turned his buddy into a toad. And when he finally got back up with him he told him that they never did turn him into a toad and he said, well, that was my mistake. ahaha.

In the first 1.5 minutes, he talks about interviewing the President of Apple who was hired by Steve Jobs and had fired Steve Jobs. Says he regrets not questioning him about that and didn't know it at the time. Mitt Romney fired the man who had hired him and, afaik, was likewise not questioned about that when Larry King interviewed him. No mention of it in this interview. King goes on to push the concept that our Military should be used to disarm other nations. What kind of journalism does he call that? Op-Ed page? I think so. He has a political program at RT but claims not to know about a whistleblower crackdown. As reported at veteransnewsnow.com: "Seven out of the total 10 prosecutions against whistleblowers 70 percent have occurred under the Obama administrations." Ironically, Larry King had a cameo role in the 1998 film about the NSA, Enemy of the State, and his monolgue (towards the end of it) is quite a contrast when compared with his critical comments about Snowden and Greenwald in the above interview:
How do we draw the line - draw the line between protection of national security, obviously the government's need to obtain intelligence data, and the protection of civil liberties, particularly the sanctity of my home? You've got no right to come into my home!
No endorsement of Greenwald or Snowden is required to wonder how much they paid Larry King to say that. Apparently, he now seems to have forgotten those lines.
Edited sentence 2.
