Ted Koppel slams Fox News for being as partisan and biased as MSNBC in an opinion piece in today’s Washington Post. Koppel then stretches reality even farther—beyond the breaking point—by elevating MSNBC to being an enterprise that is as successful financially and ratings-wise as Fox News! Koppel’s opinion piece makes one thing clear, all right, above all else: He is either crazy, delusional or spreading leftist propaganda (maybe all three). For Koppel to even bring down Fox News by alleging it is as hatefully partisan as MSBNC, and then bring MSNBC up to Fox News’ level by crediting it with good ratings, is close to blasphemy. Koppel would have been correct if he had limited his comments solely to MSNBC as the epitome of partisanship in the news because aside from Hannity and Beck, where are the partisan shows on Fox?! There aren’t any! MSNBC, on the other hand, features not only hardcore partisanship during primetime, but also during its so-called "news" programs during the day.

Perhaps Mr. Koppel wrote this piece as the closing homework assignment at a refresher course from the Dan Rather School of Objective and Truthful Journalism. If so, I’ll bet he got a good final grade.
Ted Koppel? I haven’t heard that name in years...
If true Mr. Ted. Look at the ratings. You are in deep trouble.
They are going to try to represent CNN as the centrist reasonable independent voice.
Ted Koppel isn’t one to talk about others being biased!
Is Koppel on George Soros’s payroll too? Or just another Leftist who misses the “good old days” when Democrats controlled all the networks?
Sure they are. With a spiteful bitch who calls herself a conservative pundit teaming up with Client #9 whoremongerer, disgraced ex-governor. Gee, that pretty well defines role models for Americans to look to for objectivity, now doesn’t it?
Somebody ought to let Ted know the ship has already left the port for the ticket he has in his hand.
Was ted koppel wearing a bib when he penned the piece? You would think the senile liberal old coot would be in restraints by7 now. What a TOOL!
Sometimes they show left bias on Fox and sometimes it`s just incompetence. Just yesterday on the Fox News watch they slammed Sarah Palin, allowed untrue statements to go un challenged.
One Democrat said every time she speaks her favorabilities go down, nobody corrected the record that Ras and AP both had polls in recent days showing her favorability on the rise with 46 and 49, supposedly the highest in over a year.
Martha McCallum(sp), Shep Smith are both partisan Democrats and full time daily Anchors, more than any of the other big 3 networks,cable news outfits combined regarding Republicans/Conservatives.
MSNBC almost never has a genuine Republican on as a guest! They have ZERO Republican Anchors!
What Teddy says is Alice in Wonderland
Ted Koppel? I haven’t heard that name in years...
“Good evening Mr and Mrs America, and all the ships at sea...”
Bet it has been a good deal longer since you have heard that on the radio?
Koppel expanding his narrow view of the universe by writing what used to be written for him, or does he still employ writers suffering from BDS?
What is it about faux news that brings out the Bush derangement syndrome in those with the Cuban view of government of the people, by the people, for the people.
I’ve never trusted anybody with a comb over trying to trick me.. and Ted has a rug thats in the form of a comb over.. Hes doubly rididulous..
Martha McCallum(sp), Shep Smith are both partisan Democrats and full time daily Anchors, more than any of the other big 3 networks,cable news outfits combined regarding Republicans/Conservatives.
...and Jerry Rivers, though not a full time daily anchor, sure does add a left side view of things.
I remember when Ted got himself embedded in Iraq in ‘03 that being close to the troops in combat might change his outlook. Instead, when I saw his reports he had the look and demeanor of somebody who realized he made the biggest mistake of his life and wanted to anywhere than there.

Pompous, self righteous elitist! He believes we should only get the news that has been cleaned & screened by superior beings.
It turns out Ted is doing midday commentary on good old unbiased NPR these days going by what one finds on the internet about him. This must be another right down the middle commentary for him.
