    More on that Trump interview with RT, via Brian Stetler's newsletter. Italics mine just to offset it

    Larry King interviews Trump... on a Russian-owned network
    On Wednesday Donald Trump gave an interview to Russia Today. On Thursday night it was released -- and the campaign said it had no idea the interview would end up on Russia Today.

    Backstory: Trump and Larry King go way back -- they've known each other for decades. King has been lobbying Trump for an interview for many months. Trump finally said yes. King taped the phone call for his show "Politicking," which is carried by RT America, the U.S. arm of Russia Today. In the interview, CNN's Theodore Schleifer reports, Trump said Russia was "probably" not meddling in the presidential race.

    After the interview was shown on RT America and shared on YouTube, Trump spoxJason Miller told Schleifer that "the interview was recorded as a podcast and was a favor to King, adding, 'Mr. Trump was never told it would be shared anywhere else.'"

    While Trump was only on the phone for the interview, King was on camera in his usual studio. (You can see it here.) Strangely, at the ten-minute mark, King asked about Mexican immigrants and Trump went silent. Did the phone line get disconnected? King said it didn't... But it's unclear what happened...

    -- Mediaite's Josh Feldman weighs in: "I dunno what's funnier: doing an interview w Russia-backed outlet or doing it by accident..."


    Geraldo says sorry; Trump on Russia Today; what Larry King asked him; fallout from Matt Lauer's forum; what will the debate moderators do?

    Without looking this up, guess who wrote this:

    "Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany.

    "That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

    This story is as true as the one with the gay boy crying on the steps of his building.
