John Macarther Is an evangelical Christian pastor who was featured on Larry King Live. He is a person of faith quoting the bible. And he gives his opinion on the afterlife. Larry King contributed to a debate between others on what happens to us when we died. Throughout the episode Larry King didn’t speak as much as he let his diversity of guests speak. He maintained a calm exterior while he let the somewhat heated debate unfold around him. Although he would ask questions to prod the conversation along he did not give too much of a biased opinion on the afterlife.

Nancy Grace is arguing with her Guest, Mr. Frank Taaffe: a good friend of George Zimmerman, about whether the wounds inflicted by Trayvon Martin were life threatening. In my opinion Nancy Grace is more exciting to watch because, she is readily voicing her opinion against his claims that she believes to be inaccurate. Nancy is not afraid to point out her guest’s unbelievably invalid story. Then she brings in an attorney for Trayvon’s family. The attorney debunks Taaffe’s claims saying that he is the first to say that Trayvon went back into his house and then came back out to “whoop dat ass”. Nancy began very calm and then when her biased guest began to attack her questioning she became equally irate. Although she did not maintain the calm exterior that Larry seemed to keep, she was far more entertaining.  Nancy went as far as calling her guest a “fairly intelligent” human being, and Taaffe was rude to her, going around her questions, and cutting her off.

Although, Nancy was more entertaining to me I think that Larry King would be a more resourceful foundation for information because he had a large diversity of guests and insightful conversation. Nancy however was more chaotic and had only bias guests taking the side of one.
