How Larry King Mocks Liberals by using a They Say Strategy

Larry King knows to support his point well he has to tell what the liberals say, so what better way to show liberals thoughts than to put a conversation with one in your article. Each time the liberal said something, Larry King would counter argue his "they say" with a better argument that disproved the liberal's "they say." Walter Cronkite said that liberal and open minded were the same. Then, through Larry King's article he goes against Walter's "they say" and makes Walter look like a fool for using the words interchangeably. King uses a survey to disprove his "they say" which showed conservatives were more open minded than liberals. When liberals described conservatives, they criticized the conservatives sharply and never supported their arguments. The liberals used a tone that wasn't open minded which allowed Larry King to mock them and rip the argument liberals were open minded to shreds.
