  1. Whether the couple was hurt or not,$50,000 is nothing to the Kings and they know it. Should the couple go for his "deep pockets?" Probably not, but that's the price of fame and a really high salary. I also noticed his wife said "Their driver," like they can't drive themselves????

  2. If the rumors are true that Larry King could retire,
    let's hope Conor Knighton gets a shot. No way
    should they hire Ryan Seacreast.Knighton is about
    to blow up in a major why. Infomania is getting
    a whole lot of buzz these days. In fact if Time
    Warner is looking to acquire other networks.
    Current should be # 1 on the list.

  3. Rumors of Larry King retiring have been circulating for the past few years.

    But if King did retire- John Roberts would do well at that type of anchor role.

    Another person who would do well with that format- Anderson Cooper

  4. Current is something CNN should be.
    A real news and information network. A
    place were storytelling and modern forms
    of journalism thrive.I always thought John
    Roberts should anchor an evening newscast
    on CNN. CNN needs to move away from too
    much talk and opinion and do some news
    and interesting stories that is out there and
    tell me something I do not know. Anderson
    needs to keep doing 360. He is the journalist
    who a lot of young people like.CNN also
    needs so fresh faces and forward thinking
    leadership.It is so easy in this day and time
    and not very costly. You pretty much edit
    your own stuff and upload it to YouTube
    and others. There is Skype and every
    computer has a built in camera.I am not
    sure if the suits realize that CNN needs to
    re-invent itself. Let FNC & MSNBC be the
    kids and CNN be the place where you might
    actually learn something from the stories
    airing on the network. Current is light years
    ahead of CNN.

  5. I have to agree that Vanguard docs are way
    better than the ones on CNN.
