Does this have a significant impact on RT's credibility?

Larry King will host a new TV show on Russian network RT: [Video @ Link]

The RT press release reads:

Award-winning interviewer Larry King will host a mold-breaking political talk show on RT from next month, speaking to both leading establishment figures, and those who are not afraid to go against the grain.

“I have always been passionate about government and issues that impact the public, and I’m thrilled at the opportunity to talk politics with some of the most influential people in Washington and around the country,” says King.

King’s career has spanned 56 years and more than 50,000 interviews, but he says the show will break new ground. The veteran broadcaster will not shy away from causing controversy, or using his authority to give a chance to hear voices other media ignore.

“I have interviewed every US president since Nixon, and lest people forget, I helped usher Ross Perot into the national conversation during the 1992 presidential contest. I appreciate the importance of providing a platform to those with real alternative visions for our country’s future,” said the host.

King also moderated the third-party presidential debate, broadcast live on RT in October last year.
 
RT credibility just went down! Kudlow is a complete shill who was a former department head under Reagan. Not to be trusted.
 
I always felt Larry King was fair to people like Ron Paul and Jesse Ventura. And he has massive media exposure. I'd say RT's credibility just went up.
 
Larry King hosted the 3rd party presidential debates last year, I thought Larry King did well and his opening speech was really good.
