Politicking with Larry King was a political talk show hosted by the iconic broadcaster Larry King. The show ran from 2012 to 2020 and was aired on Ora TV. In this show, Larry King invited on political experts, journalists, and personalities from both sides of the political spectrum to discuss the week's top political issues and events. Larry King was famous for his ability to ask insightful and tough questions, and he brought this same energy to Politicking. Guests on the show included politicians such as Senator Bernie Sanders, former Secretary of State John Kerry, and former CIA Director David Petraeus. King also frequently invited on prominent journalists like Glenn Greenwald, Diane Sawyer, and Anderson Cooper. One of the unique features of Politicking with Larry King was its commitment to featuring guests who represented a diverse range of political viewpoints. King often invited on guests who represented the more far-reaching political beliefs, including guests who identified as socialists, as well as guests who held conservative views. This commitment to diversity allowed viewers to hear a wider range of perspectives on important political issues. Another unique feature of the show was King's willingness to discuss world events and politics beyond the United States. In addition to interviews with prominent American politicians and public figures, King also interviewed world leaders, including Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Throughout the show, King stayed focused on the specific issues and events at hand. Guests were often asked to offer their thoughts and analysis on current events, such as domestic policy issues like healthcare and immigration, as well as foreign policy issues like Syria and North Korea. Politicking with Larry King was also known for being a show that prioritized substantive policy discussions over political drama and sensationalism. King's years of experience as a journalist and broadcaster allowed him to steer conversations away from melodrama and towards thoughtful discussions of policy issues. Despite the show's focus on substantive policy discussion, Politicking with Larry King was not without its controversies. A 2019 interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov received criticism from some viewers for not sufficiently challenging Lavrov on issues like election interference and the annexation of Crimea. Some viewers also accused King of being too deferential to politicians who appeared on the show. Despite these criticisms, Politicking with Larry King remained a popular show throughout its eight-year run. King's reputation for fair and insightful interviews, combined with the show's commitment to a wide range of political views, made it a trusted source of political analysis for viewers on both sides of the aisle. In conclusion, Politicking with Larry King was a political talk show that ran from 2012 until 2020 on Ora TV. The show featured interviews with a wide range of political experts, journalists, and politicians. Larry King's commitment to substantive policy discussions and diverse viewpoints made Politicking a trusted source of political analysis for viewers of all political backgrounds.

In this show, Larry King invited on political experts, journalists, and personalities from both sides of the political spectrum to discuss the week's top political issues and events.

Larry King was famous for his ability to ask insightful and tough questions, and he brought this same energy to Politicking. Guests on the show included politicians such as Senator Bernie Sanders, former Secretary of State John Kerry, and former CIA Director David Petraeus. King also frequently invited on prominent journalists like Glenn Greenwald, Diane Sawyer, and Anderson Cooper.

One of the unique features of Politicking with Larry King was its commitment to featuring guests who represented a diverse range of political viewpoints. King often invited on guests who represented the more far-reaching political beliefs, including guests who identified as socialists, as well as guests who held conservative views. This commitment to diversity allowed viewers to hear a wider range of perspectives on important political issues.

Another unique feature of the show was King's willingness to discuss world events and politics beyond the United States. In addition to interviews with prominent American politicians and public figures, King also interviewed world leaders, including Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

Throughout the show, King stayed focused on the specific issues and events at hand. Guests were often asked to offer their thoughts and analysis on current events, such as domestic policy issues like healthcare and immigration, as well as foreign policy issues like Syria and North Korea.

A 2019 interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov received criticism from some viewers for not sufficiently challenging Lavrov on issues like election interference and the annexation of Crimea.

Despite these criticisms, Politicking with Larry King remained a popular show throughout its eight-year run.
