I found thi item posted at 1:00 PM EST. My first reaction was " Koppel? Is he still on?" My second eaction was " Koppel? Is he still on?"

Koppel was the Iraq embed that most looked like he wanted to by anywhere else but there.

LMAO - Kopple might improve the ratings of ABC's Sunday News Show? LMAO

Ted Koppel. Ted Kennedy. Ted Turner. The TED AXIS OF EVIL.

I'll believe it when I don't see it in the schedule. Koppel's demise has been a prime rumor for as long as the show has been on. Somehow, he manages to stay on the air.

He was OK when that program started, YEARS ago..during the hostage crisis. He lost his professinalism with the years. Or maybe he never had it...it was all an illusion!

[ohiobushman]

I hope that abc also loses its peter(jennings)!

[cookcounty]

This man acts like he has a severe case of iron-poor blood. I once liked him, but then he got lazy, taking 18 vacations a year, and getting sloppier and sloppier in his questioning, especially of liberals. My impression is that he slid to his left because he was just to tired too paddle against the flow of "respectable" journalism.

Ted Koppel. Ted Kennedy. Ted Turner. The TED AXIS OF EVIL.

.....Ted Bundy, Ted Kazinski (unibomber)....the list goes on.

Koppel sems to pride himself on the fact that he has never set his tiny dainty foot outside the east coast

Rearranging the chairs on the Titanic.

The only thing I liked about Koppel in the last 10 years is that he was an embed in my old unit (3rd Brigade, 3ID). I found that interesting, especially when hanging with the medics (I was a Ten-Week Doc).

You know does this really matter one bit, you get rid of Rather, another liberal takes his place, you get rid of Koppel, same thing. What you guys do on this board, and the other blogger sites, along with AM talk radio and FOX News do more to get the truth out then all the reform in the world will do to ABC or CBS or NBC or PBS or CNN, did I miss any?

Keep up the good work each and everyone of you, our message is getting out and people are not so blinding believing what the MSM tells them to.

Used to watch him every night during the hostage crisis.

How events change one's perspective. The hostage crisis seems minor when compared to recent events.

[doug from upland]

That's funny. I was going to add just those names, but the President only had three on the Axis of Evil, so I wanted to stay with his format. :)

[ralph rotten]

Even money ---He will land on PBS--good fit

[Eric in the Ozarks]

He didn't want to get a crack in his hair.

[BossLady]

I swear to God when I first glanced at this article I thought it said:

Koppel the Next Newsman to Lose his HAIR

LMAO!

[Zivasmate]

Koppel may be losing his chair soon, by he lost his mind about 10 years ago, when he became an unabashed and undisguised leftist, slanting every interview and video background piece in that direction.

[Bluegrass Conservative]

Ted Koppel. Ted Kennedy. Ted Turner. The TED AXIS OF EVIL.

Yet somehow you leave out Ted Bundy and Ted Kaczynski?
