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.

That's the guy with the weird hair....right? ;-)
Yep, just like rope.
Is he out of his mind? MSNBC is always behind by 2 or 3 million viewers for anything against FNC.
When old newsters like Koppel start regaling us on the good old days of non-biased journalism, I begine to gag. There never was unbiased journalism. In the pre-FOX days the lefty pressters were experts in the half-truth. They didn’t lie all the time, but most of time they only told half the story which is about as bad. In short, the good old days of non-biased media is a crock.
That says it all. The media were the gatekeepers. They only let out so much info. Koppel can't stand it that lib Big Media doesn't have a lock on the news disseminated today. Tough toenails Ted.
The Bloom County comic said it best.
“Ted Koppel is a waffle!”
You nailed it.
what? me worry?
