The oldest of old media farts
Cory Bergman November 15th, 2006
Is CNN’s Larry King, who admitted on the air that he’s never (as in NEVER) used the internet. “What do you punch little buttons and things?” he asked guest Roseanne Barr.

And here I thought the Internet was a series of tubes…..

How do you NOT get left behind in this (or almost any) business without ever using the internet? I’ll bet his “staff” uses the internet now & then…

Larry King doesn’t need the stinkin’ Internet! He’s Larry King!

Photog, I thought the same thing; how could King have never watched his staff or wife surf the net? Was he never at least curious?
It was quite comical to have Rosanne Barr explain the profound impact of the internet to ‘ol Larry. He should stay away from interviewing members of the young hip Hollywood crowd like Barr and stick to Liz Taylor and people he can relate to.

How can Larry be relevant in today’s world if, as he says, he’s never used the Internet, and apparently has little concept of what a computer actually is or does? What happens if he tries to interview someone like Sergey Brin or Mark Cuban? Even if his staff prepared his questions, he’d get totally lost in their responses.

I knew it! I knew it! Larry King is the media advisor to Ted Stevens, right?

Is she Roseanne Barr now? Didn’t know she went back to it.
