Larry King Dead at 87

[OregonDucks]

News wouldn’t call it COVID this morning. Just rolled my eyes. Ten headlines about him on CNN “COVID” not in one of them.

I actually noticed this too. Everywhere it's listed as his death, major news outlets, even social media "trending topics" COVID isn't mentioned in the headlines or even the first few sentences. If this happened January 18th, 2021 the headlines of a COVID death would be everywhere.

He was also a chainsmoker for decades. How in the hell did this guy make it to nearly 90 yrs old?

I think his body was/is full of stents and scarred lungs.

Easy money says look out for Carter.

Maybe cause of death hasn't been officially announced,

It's this.

Not reporting on a cause of death until it's disclosed is not only standard procedure but you could get in some hot water if you speculate and get it wrong. CNN (and yes they and others did say he was hospitalized with it) or someone else says Covid and it's something else you gotta deal with a retraction and claims of pushing a narrative and other bad PR.

Let's see what happens if/when the family lets it be made public.

Larry certainly had some gems though.

Larry King fumbled the ball on this one.

I never was a fan of Larry king.

The guy was married 7 times and had 8 kids.

And people have the audacity to say “So sad!” when this 87 year old winner of life passes.

I say AWESOME JOB at life. Should be celebrated.

I figured he was older than that. He looked 90 when I was a kid
