What is up with Larry King and the "Witnessing" lately?
The last few times I have watched (and I have to admit, I don't watch much, so it may be a coincidence) the guests have been authors, actors or musicians who have "come to God".

They spend the entire interview testifying.

Is he recently born-again? Was he always?

I thought he ran more of a 'news' interview show.

6. I know he married a Mormon.
I don't know if they're divorced yet or not.

I expect he's just trying to opportunistically cash in on what he thinks is the latest fad in our society.

3. I can't watch him anymore...
Not that I watched him that much but geeze....he is really annoying!! He jumps on whatever bandwagon is rolling at the time. Right now the "Saved" group is the bandwagon. Whenever that dies down it will be something else.

4. Must be part of CNN's recent efforts to court conservative Fox viewers
I was surprised when he had Christiane Amanpour and other journalists on recently talking about how dangerous conditions were in Iraq, since his show has been increasingly conservative playing it safe avoiding anything controversial or that would put Bush or the Repubs in a bad light.

5. I think it's his wife and her family. But, no doubt, BushInc controls CNN
CNN serves its masters, the House of Saud (major stockholders) and House of Bush.

It serves their fascist agenda to sell war as a Holy War - keeps both their populations ENTRENCHED asnd fearful.
