Goody! Fox News reporting.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah, they'll just replace him with another lying creep. The left clones them.
About time these DINOSAURS wandered back to the tarpits.
File under "Didn't know it was still around."
I hear that Dan Rather is looking for something to do...
One more thing to be grateful for on Thanksgiving day! Woohoo! :o)
Hasta La Vista Red Ted!
I have no idea if I spelled that correctly.
Maybe they will replace Koppel with the guy who runs Daily Kos. He openly cheered the murder of American contractors in Iraq, shouting "Screw them!". That would make him a perfect ideological fit with the news team on ABC.
I didn't know that "Nightline" was still on the air.
Soon all the has been, B/S-ing hacks will be gone and we can identify and villify those that take their place.
May Walter Cronkite live and suffer until he is 200 years old.
Is that supposed to make any of us around here sad?
A good two-fer would be if Stephanopolus is suddenly zapped by the ratings or decides to flee ahead of the tar & feathers...
Nah, I'm reading too much into it.
Yeah, great news about Koppel. I did watch during the 444 day countdown of the Iraq hostage crisis. I think Nightline was a spin off of those special reports if I'm not mistaken.
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
finally....
Who?
You mean Alfred E. Neuman's long lost brother?
I'll never forget how exasperated he was that John O'Neill of the Swift Boat vets would not take his bait and take the word of Communist backwater villagers over that of our vets. Sweet...
Isn't Ted's daughter at CNN? Andrea Koppel...
'Iran'... mind is on Iraq obviously...
But where will America's youth ever again see a perfectly spherical head? Should he not stay on for the children?
However, his toupee won't leave the show until December 13th.
Will Jimmy Kimmel be coming on earlier now? Girls on trampolines and beer tasting tips?
Or will they keep Nightline going?
Yeah. That was a new low, even for Koppel and Nightline. I almost lost a TV that night just as I did one night when Lawrence O'Donnell crudely attacked O'Neill on a Buchanan hosted airing of Scarborough Country.
Very Good ... That one truly made me laugh ...
I don't even know which number on the remote corresponds to ABC.
How about a replay of that interview outside the Astrodome in Texas after President Bush's NO speech.
Andrea Koppel is a State Department correspondent for CNN. Named to this position in 1998, Koppel joined the network in 1993 and is based in the network's Washington, D.C., bureau.
As the State Department correspondent, Koppel has reported on news events from around the world, including the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks; Secretary of State Colin Powell's trip to Peru; former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's trip to North Korea; the 1999 G-8 summit in Cologne, Germany; former President Bill Clinton's 1998 trip to China; and Albright's 1999 role in the Rambouillet negotiations in France. Koppel also reported on the 1998 Wye River Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, the 1999 Shepherdstown Israeli-Syrian peace talks, the 2000 Camp David II Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, post-Kosovo war peace talks in Helsinki, the ASEAN and APEC regional summits in Singapore, New Zealand, Vietnam and Brunei, and Secretary of State Colin Powell's 2001 and 2002 trips to Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Central and South Asia, which also included a visit to Afghanistan.
Previously, Koppel served as the network's Beijing bureau chief and correspondent where she traveled to more than half of China's 30-plus provinces and autonomous regions, including the Xinjiang region in China's far Northwest, Tibet and the Heilongjiang province that borders Siberia. She reported on numerous events, including the death of China's leader Deng Xiaoping, the 1996 standoff between the United States and China in the Taiwan Strait, the 1994 nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, the first democratic presidential election in Taiwan in 1996 as well as the 1995 U.N. Conference on Women in Beijing. She traveled to and reported extensively on Taiwan's transition to a democracy and also reported regularly from Hong Kong on preparations being made for the 1997 handover of British Hong Kong to China. During the handover ceremonies, she reported live from Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
Before moving to Beijing, Koppel served from 1993-1995 as a Tokyo-based CNN correspondent where she reported on the burst of Japan's economic bubble, Japanese politics and culture as well as breaking news events, including the devastating 1995 earthquake in Kobe and the shocking sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway by the Om Shinrikyo cult.
During her tenure at CNN, Koppel has secured numerous exclusive interviews with world leaders, such as Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in December of 2003 following the announcement that he would dismantle his weapons of mass destruction, China's President Jiang Zemin, before the handover of Hong Kong in 1997, and President Lee Teng-hui, Taiwan's first democratically elected president. In addition, Koppel has interviewed numerous newsmakers, including former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former U.N. Secretary General Boutros Boutros Gali, Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi and Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Before joining CNN, Koppel worked at WPLG-TV in Miami where she reported on news stories that included 1992's Hurricane Andrew. She also reported on assignment from Haiti on the fallout after the overthrow of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, including the exodus of thousands of Haitians to South Florida. Earlier, Koppel worked at WJZ-TV as a reporter in Baltimore.
Koppel has earned numerous awards for her work, including a 1991 local Emmy Award for her news series "Haiti: After the Coup," a first place Women in Radio and Television Award for the 1996 "Daughters of the Revolution," a documentary about women in China, and an Associated Press Radio Award for a documentary on the South Carolina Department of Youth Services.
Fluent in Mandarin Chinese, Koppel earned a bachelor's degree in political science with a concentration in Chinese language and Asian studies from Middlebury College.
Bill Moyers could co-host.
About freakin time!
I do for Monday Night Football only, but ABC loses that too after this year.
Who's Koppel?
That is my first memory of 'after 10:30 PM news'...Nightline....it did grow out of the 444 day countdown and kept going.
It was pretty cool in its day, but has long since worn out its welcome with cable and 24 hour news cycle...not to mention the blatant left slant.
So long, you sanctimonious hypocritical asshat.
Was that the Ted Koppel-ulate show? - I missed that
Finally, good news. They are falling like the Hun before Pattons 3rd army. Hold on Bastogne.
Who's Ted Koppel?
Monday Night Football? I thought that went the way of "Movie of the Week." ;)
Monday Night Football goes to ESPN in 2006. And NBC picks up the Sunday evening NFL game from ESPN.
I think he was some pompous newsreader on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
They should send it to Fox and merge it with "The Best Damn Sports Show." I'd rather hear Tom Arnold & Co. broadcast MNF than some has-been players that like to hear themselves talk.
Fox or ESPN... both just as good. With the game on ESPN we'll get the excellent ESPN pregame show beforehand. Chris Berman's the best.
I've never seen "The Best Damn Sports SHow" even though I've heard it's good. I only watch about 8 hours of TV during the week and 4 hours of that is Special Report with Brit Hume, M-Th.
I thought he was already off of the air! Haven't watched one of the letter channels in years!
I love Jimmy Kimmel (mostly for the video clips they play and mock). It should just replace Nightline.
