You would think reporters like Larry King would learn how to pronounce it.

He's nothing more than a talk show host, a glorified Ellen DeGeneras. Okay, so maybe not THAT extreme but he isn't really much more than that.

Reporters do actual work, calling contacts, going on-site every day, digging for news. The real work behind Larry King's show is done by the people behind the scenes, not by Larry King. King has the gift of being an excellent conversationalist, which is why he is the one asking the questions and not the person that, most of the time, actually thought of them. "Someone who talks a lot on television" is an extremely wide and diverse range of people.
