O'Neil was truly masterful. I suspect the producer of this segment will be canned. Ted looked humiliated and angry.
Anyone who calls this thing as anything but a complete victory for O'Neil is crazy. Even before O'Neil's segment. The story was flimsy. The notion that there was more than one B-40 wielding rocket guy in the area on that day never occured to ABC.
Their whole piece was a mess. O'Neil made Ted look like a hack. This was bad. Dan Rather is a major stinker, but Dan hasn't really had to face what he did publically.
In the aftermath of Rathergate, Dan was able to go on tv and
spin and control the segments. Teddy Boy made a huge mistake having someone who knew the issues cold debating him on live tv. This might be Ted's worst broadcast in history.
Make no mistake, the inner sanctum of the MSM is buzzing over this--they aren't happy.
I pray you are right. I am sorry I had to work and miss it. Thanks to everyone for their comments. John is a great guy.
