Koppel: Conservatives Are What Is Wrong With The World!

Koppel & Hannity

Koppel leveled a charge against opinion news shows like the one Hannity hosts in prime time, to which Hannity responded, “We have to give some credit to the American people that they’re somewhat intelligent and that they know the difference between an opinion show and a news show,” Hannity said. “You’re cynical.”

“I am cynical,” said Koppel.

“Do you think we’re bad for America? You think I’m bad for America?”

“Yeah.”

“You do? Really?”

“In the long haul I think you and all these opinion shows—”

“That’s sad, Ted. That’s sad.”

“No, you know why? Because you’re very good at what you do, and because you have attracted a significantly more influential—”

“You are selling the American people short.”

“No, let me finish the sentence before you do that.”

“I’m listening. With all due respect. Take the floor.”

“You have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts.”

Ted Koppel complains about ideology?

I've not heard of Koppel, but it's obvious that Hannity and O'Reilly and Limbaugh have done immeasurable damage to people in the U.S. and to it's international image.

I could be wrong, but Koppel was pointing to Ideology as opposed to facts being the problem. I see the same issue on the side of the left. the facts aren't being viewed. Just ideologies. It creates problems and corruption.

Sean Hannity said on his show today that Koppel interviewed him for nearly an hour, the interview was cut down to that brief exchange, and they cut out Hannity's rebuttal. Hannity also pointed out Koppel's hypocrisy, using ideology to attack ideology.

Good thing nobody knows who you are or the damage done to New Zealand would make them look like nothing. Keep up with your self righteous moral preening and I'll keep exposing you and your psychopathic fantasies.

People like Koppel have frequently edited their opponents interviews, to make themselves look better, all the time. And the media keeps wondering why nobody trust a word they say (well beyond brainwashed idiots like Jimmy, Tazzy Wazzy, and psychopath that is).

As Hannity tells the story, first question from Koppel was about Hannity's role in the media, and Hannity gave what he believes was an honest, substantive answer. As soon as he finished, Koppel shook his head and said, "No, no, that will never make the cut." Hannity said, "Then why am I here, Ted!" Throughout the rest of the interview, Hannity taunted Koppel saying things like, "That answer was pretty good, wasn't it? I bet you're going to cut it," or, "That point makes my side looks good. It probably won't make the cut, either," and so on. He says that's why CBS will never release the full, unedited interview. He said he actually enjoyed the interview and thought there was some very good give-and-take throughout, but of course CBS's agenda was to make him look like an unreasoned militant being put in his place.
