More Hilton Interview write-ups…

The Detroit News’ Mekeisha Madden Toby writes about all the dodging and weaving by Hilton in the interview and the question(s) Larry King didn’t ask…

When King inquired why she’d decided to do the interview, her first televised talk out of the pokey, Hilton said she wanted to share her experience and correct some misinformation. One such rumor is that she lost a lot of weight but Hilton said she only “lost like 2 pounds.”

“I just want people to know what I went through,” Hilton said. “God makes everything happen for a reason.”

For all the questions that King skipped, the biggest disappointment was that he didn’t ask Hilton about her controversial use of the “N” word exposed in a YouTube video.

Mulitchannel News’ Steve Donohue pans the interview…

King seemed to have done more homework than he usually does for his much-hyped interview last night with Paris Hilton. But he failed to ask her tough questions, or even reasonable questions, such as, “What do you do for a living, anyway?”

When Katie Couric interviewed King on CNN recently to mark his 50th year in broadcasting, he said one of the reasons he doesn’t prepare for interviews is because he wants to be able to see the interview subject through the eyes of a viewer – the regular guy or gal at home. But King left thousands of his fans wanting much more Wednesday night.

  2. chris, the columnist “Mekeisha” is most likely part of that group, and it sounds as if her ONLY reason for watching was to see whether LK would bring up that occurence.
