Answer 1

I think that the people suffer the most when politicians refuse to do interviews because they are scared that the people interviewing them might ask them tough questions. I thought Campbell Brown's questions were justified based on what the McCain campaign has been touting as their main argument for why they should lead this country.  

Answer 2

I think one old man in the nursing home down the street will be disappointed.

Answer 3

larry king

Answer 4

This is a trick question, right?

No one suffers from not watching Larry King, regardless of who his guest is. Does the guy ever ask any questions that have any meaning, or significance?

Answer 5

I don't blame him. Larry King.............no. Bill O'Reilly......now that's a challenging interview he should do for me. LOL! Gotta love Bill.

Answer 6

Larry King's ratings for that night...

Answer 7

McCain is a big media draw. He is today a nationally known figure, and in certain regards, internationally known, so CNN loses out, financially of course, since advertisers know McCain is a big draw, thus ads would have been seen by many more people than your typical Larry King show.
