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.

Really? Again: Internet, take a look at who the "power brokers" are in terms of news-dissemination and information.. Google News, Wikipedia, and Yahoo News. The difference is, that the internet is one of these situations where the big boys have a LOT of smaller boys reminding them they're putting out crap and doing so successfully. You could throw Breitbart in as one of the larger conservative sites (But I'll be honest, I don't think they even appear on Alexa's rankings that high...)

Google (it lumps it altogether, so probably not fair) : 1
Wikipedia: 5
Yahoo: 6

Is there someone in the conservative side toward the top of these news feeds?
Brietbart: 225

Hell DrudgeReport is down in the 700s

Radio: This one I will give you, but that's because the model has been adapted, where conservative talk radio wins out.

Cable TV: Dominated by the right wing? There's only one real cable conservative network, and it's almost the opposite of the Internet situation. There are a lot of little boys, but they're not doing too good of responding to FOX's statements.

Matters not who the power brokers of the internet are because of the right-wing website network. One story will get posted on so many conservative websites in a matter of moments that any search yields all of their results drowning out any credible sourcing of the material.

Then it will get picked up for Fox cable and you suddenly have a multiple sourced propaganda story for them to use.

I'll give Koppel some credit that he actually said it to his face and not through a tweet.

I loved it!

Yup. So, they had a one hour interview and only showed the 70 seconds where Koppel editorialized. What was the point of having doing the interview? Fake news strikes again. lol....Koppel does EXACTLY what he claims Hannity does. Journalism is dead.

Google and Yahoo very heavily favor news from the MSM-ABC/NBC/CBS/NYT/WaPo.

Yea, this is pretty amusing really. Koppel lecturing others about the genre he practically invented. Is this for real?

proves Hannity's point.....'most people are smart enough to filter through news and op-ed'

abc news was never on in my house growing up.....and when the others were on, it was too easy to leave the room and go outside....

Koppel is still alive?

Who knew?

Who cared? I don't like him and never have. Just listening to his voice is agonizing enough. Up there with Wah Wah.
