Politicking with Larry King is an American weekly political talk show hosted by Larry King which premiered on June 13, 2013. The guests of the show include various political figures and world leaders. The series is available on Ora TV, Hulu and RT. The show is distributed worldwide by RT and Ora TV; the latter also produces another show hosted by King, Larry King Now, which focuses on interviews with celebrity guests.
"I have always been passionate about government and issues that impact the public, and I’m thrilled at the opportunity to talk politics with some of the most influential people in Washington and around the country," said King about hosting the show.
The show has received criticism due to the fact that it airs on the RT network, which has frequently been described as "pro-Russian", with allegations that it has been used as a "Kremlin's propaganda tool". King addressed such claims by saying: "I don't work for RT. It's a deal made between the companies. They just license our shows," and also adding that "to [his] knowledge" the network has never altered any interviews that he has done.
