Well, it's finally on in the Pacific time zone.
Ted is despicable, even worse, than I expected in the way he portrays the Viet Cong as credible and is not even allowing O'Neill to make his points.
Ted's story is being ripped a new hole big enough to drive a Mack truck through!
WOW!
O'Neill handled Ted.
Talk about a sham of a "investigative report" ---
this one was laughable.
Why not dig up the buried weapons?
LOL!
Ted wasn't interested. That's clear. Ted was the one repeating himself. Ted was the one who didn't want to talk one on one. Ted was the one adopting the Communist government of Vietnam as his client in an adversarial proceeding with a professional - arbitrator - in John O'Neill.
He was cross-examining a witness, trying to get the witness to say or admit what he required. That's not 'journalism', whatever that word still means. His wasn't the attempt to get the story, but to debunk John O'Neill, as a personality. The problem was, his complaint was with Kerry. O'Neill kept pointing out - this is all from Kerry's book. Brinkley. Kerry. And Kranish, et al. And the Swifties on both sides. None of them saw anything like what Ted was told by a Communist government that reveres John Kerry as a hero of the revolution.
The one question O'Neill never managed to get out, and maybe should have:
I'm wondering if Ted truly understands just how insulting he was during last nights interview??
I'm still in shock .. of all people to counter the SBV, ABC doesn't go to Kerry's Band of Brothers .. but instead takes the word of the Vietcong
