Larry King AGAIN pre-empted! What gives?

Over the years, in Europe, I have watched Larry King's interviews on CNN, scheduled from 1100-1200 noon, as, time and time again, and mostly for the most innocuous happenings, his program has been interrupted for so-called "Breaking News"

Today's interruption simply was too much.

Larry's guest was Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.

At least for 20 minutes, I was treated to one pure gem of an interview.

To hear the Justice's thoughts, expressed in words so sensible and clear, was a breath of fresh air; pure gold!

And then! Interrupted! Breaking News!

Just as Justice Breyer started to talk about the Court's decision re. the Bush-Gore election deadlock!!!!

For the coverage of the Pope's visit to England!

I watched for 15 minutes as the Pope's airplane sat on the ground at the airport, then was towed in,

then the stairs pulled up, then the soldiers marched on, then Prince Philip...etc..etc..etc ad nauseum.

Your opinions please!

    One can only assume that the Catholic Church is a major shareholder in CNN.

    What was so earth shattering? It is not as if he flew in on the wings of an angel for goodness sake!

    Maybe Larry was having a colonoscopy.
