At 80, ex-CNNer Larry King takes just a little longer to figure things out. Though the news broke Wednesday that NYT Executive Editor Jill Abramson was fired, it SHOCKED Larry’s world just before 4 p.m. today.
We’ll give Larry this: announcing this tomorrow would’ve been worse.
Shocking news in newspaperland: Jill Abramson executive editor @nytimes was just fired! Seems like she was just hired.
