Interesting exchange. I think Koppel for being 77 or so holds his own pretty well.

Koppel explained in the video: “You know why (Hannity is bad for America)? Because you’re very good at what you did and because you have attracted … people who have determined that ideology is more important than facts.”

One of them is fake news.

Sean's just a walking talking points board.

Yep and its the hyper-partisan Ted Koppel.

I quit watching him when he attacked those Arkansas state troopers who were supporting the rape claim against Bill Clinton. He became just an absurd apologist for Bill Clinton. And he kept on Iran/Contra with HW and on and on and on and on. He had next to nothing and it was obvious that even if he did, NOBODY but Ted Koppel cared.

And Nightline was horrible for political discourse in America. It just became a couple of people yelling at each other. There was no discussion. It got ratings and most everyone turned to that model.

Hannity is the best. The failing NYT and very fake news CNN is what is bad for America.

Are you still ignorant of who I am. I post everyday. Don't know where your mass confusion derives. You're obviously literate. So what's the problem.

Who you gonna call my boy tomorrow. Go ahead and spit out your nonsense now.

Hannity is a vapid talking head. You get any substance from watching him, cool. I hear nothing but rehearsed recital from him. No substance.

As to your post, eh, don't even know what you're referring to. But if it sooths your aching butt to be an ass, by all means, sooth away.

Just typing "YES" would have been perfectly fine.

The sad part is watching fake news ideologue call somebody else one when both are.

Manipulating the news is bad for America.

**** off would have been more appropriate. Your john impersonations (see, you're like Sean, unoriginal) of making chit up and ascribing them to me is old. Like Sean's act.

My Mom is 76 and looks 20 years younger than that old a s s hat. Guessing Ted is just another NYC bubble we are smarter than everyone else prog.

Exactly. Hannity admits he is a commentator and not a news man. Koppel claims to be an unbiased source of facts when he is not. Is he as one sided as Hannity? No. Does he slant the "truth" as much by what he reports as by what he doesn't report--absolutely. Hannity and Koppell are the same--they only differ by degree and in the fact that one is properly labeled while the other prefers to masquerade as something he is not.

He looks his age, no question about that. I was talking more about having his faculties about and being able to speak coherently still. I didn't see it but Tom Brokaw was on Meet the Press today too and he's roughly the same age (77) but someone was saying he looked and sounded awful.

Ted Koppel is the evil twin brother of Alfred E Neuman.

And Hannity is Lumpy's son from Leave it to Beaver:


True story!

Of course Koppel thinks so. The left no longer has a monopoly on media production in this country, and they can't stand it. They still control most of it with TERRIBLE ratings...

They "control" non-cable TV media and that's about it.

The rest of media; internet, radio and cable TV are dominated by the right wing.

The best part about this is that they only showed a small portion of the Hannity interview where Koppel smacks him down. Sort of like when Sean has a guest on and shouts him down with the help of his biased panel.

I loved it!
