O'NEIL WON & KOPPEL LOST
Nightline

Posted on 10/15/2004 7:51:40 AM PDT by capebuffalo

No matter how hard Koppel tried to discredit O'Neil and the Swifties. O'Neil was able to back up the Swifties assertions citing Kerry's own words.

Koppel showed his true colors throughout the whole interview. He wondered why 22 Vietnamese would tell a different story than the Swiftvets. O'Neil wondered why Koppel would go to Vietnam to interview 22 villagers and not interview any swiftvets for this program. O'Neil's also showed Koppel the picture of Kerry that hangs in the Vietnam War Heros Museum honoring Kerry for his support. Koppel dismissed the question and assertion with some lame excuse and continued hammering at O' Neil. Koppel got so frustrated with O'Neil citing pictues, chapter and verse that we cheered,because John had Ted on the ropes and wouldn't back off. O'Neil was too much for Koppel to handle. Good for O'Neil!

O'Neil Won, Koppel Lost!

If you're not adding any new information, put "vanity" in the title.

Perhaps CapeBuffalo should salute and say "yes sir."

"It's up to Kerry to defend himself, of course. But as one of the few news organizations with the skill and strength to help voters evaluate what the candidates are saying to serve the public interest. Now is the time for all of us to step up and do that right."

-- Mark Halperin, ABC News Political Director, 10/8/04

Interesting, that a media opportunist like Koppel, who got his job because of American Hostages in Iran, has the nerve to question SBVT's veracity.

I was delighted to hear that Koppel lost last night. But, please remember, Koppel lost when he launched his very first "Nightline" and has lost with every single show after that. Koppel is synonymous with loser. It's an insult to call a person, a "koppel".

Why? because you can't tell a "vanity" unless one puts it in the title??? Or are you the "post police"?

Good job, thanks.

O'Neil is a credit to Viet Nam vets!

Thanks for the review, since we didn't watch the show last night. I'm glad O'Neill let him have it both barrels!
