Ted Koppel tells Sean Hannity he is bad for America
MSN.com ^ | 3/26/17 | David Morgan

In a report that aired on CBS’ “Sunday Morning” about the polarization of politics and the media in the Age of Trump, “Sunday Morning” special contributor Ted Koppel charged Fox News host Sean Hannity with contributing to the increased antipathy toward opposing viewpoints that is prevalent in America.

Hannity made no qualms about presenting his own conservative agenda, but objected to Koppel characterizing his viewers as not being able to discriminate editorial content from news.

“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.

Koppel wants to talk about while pointing at Hannity? How about Ted should aim that kind of criticism at of his own folks FIRST-- like; the ones who dependably demonize anything to the right of Rachel Maddow?

Start there, Teddy. Then come tell us about Hannity.

Hannity is far more fair to the progressive Left than vice-versa.

Koppel is not happy that people still think differently from the Acceptable PC. I guess the schools have not been effective enough.

How you view Koppel and Hannity depends on whether you’re a communist or an American.

Very well said, FlingWingFlyer!

A noise from the bottom of the barrel. Ted should stay dead.

“while pointing at Hannity? How about Ted should aim that kind of criticism at of his own folks FIRST— like; the ones who dependably demonize anything to the right of Rachel Maddow?”

Exactly.

Koppel has selective vision.

I don’t think he’s right, but if that’s his view he ought to hold it for more than just Hannity.

But it’s always a one way street with these establishment tools.

I’m still waiting to hear Ted read off the names of the 2000+ US military personel who died in Afghanistan during Obuttholes 8 years at the helm

Hannity’s view is editorialized as such. Why can't those ideas be heard?

Liberals always try to silence any opposite views. If this doesn’t work, Ted will try to destroy Sean. That’s the fringe lunatic liberal way.

Ted Koppell is to journalism as Bernie Koppell is to medicine.

Am I right, Capt. Steubing? Up high!
