Ted Koppel tells Sean Hannity he is bad for America

In a report that aired on CBS’ “Sunday Morning” about the polarization of politics and the media in the Age of Trump, “Sunday Morning” special contributor Ted Koppel charged Fox News host Sean Hannity with contributing to the increased antipathy toward opposing viewpoints that is prevalent in America.

Hannity made no qualms about presenting his own conservative agenda, but objected to Koppel characterizing his viewers as not being able to discriminate editorial content from news.

“We have to give some credit to the American people that they’re somewhat intelligent and that they know the difference between an opinion show and a news show,” Hannity said. “You’re cynical.” “I am cynical,” said Koppel.

The mainstream media is bad for America, and they’re not happy that people have more alternatives to them than they used to.

Misleading headline alert. I thought Ted was making a confession.

I vaguely remember someone by that name. Sort of an Alfred E. Neuman on quaaludes as I recall.

I feel the same way about Koppel. How you view Koppel and Hannity depends on whether you’re a communist or an American.

I was never much of a supporter of Hannity, but I’ve more respect for him than Koppel, the DNC’s curmudgeon.

Did Koppel have any comment about the squirrel he wears on his head?

Ted Koppel was that the kommie prick “journalist” who was kicked out of Iraq during the war for revealing pertinent military information to the enemy in violation of his signed agreement not to.
