At a National Press Club event, Ted Koppel and Brian Stelter were among the panelists, and Koppel, the journalist and 25-year anchor of ABC News’ “Nightline” program, offered up a reality check for the CNN host about Donald Trump:

To consternation of @BrianStelter, Ted Koppel contended during 10/1 Kalb Report @PressClubDC: “You would be lost without @realDonaldTrump. CNN’s ratings would be in the toilet without Trump.” Stelter: “Ted, you know that’s not true. You’re playing for laughs.” #NPCLive 7:47 PM - Oct 2, 2018

cnn's ratings are in the toilet w\Pres. Trump. Where would they be w/o him ?

Kudos to Ted ... he gets it.

Jim Robinson needs to issue a thirty day moratorium on the use of the word “bombshell” in headlines.

Better yet: Filter every title and link for the word and prohibit any post using it from being posted. Really sick and tired of the "clickbait" crowd here on FR that uses that word way, way too much.

[proust]

The clickbait is tiresome and comes from just a few frequent posters.

It’s definitely click bait, even if it is on our side. It has absolutely no hint in the title, body or comments about what the topic even is.

Twitchy is on our side, kind of the Twitter for conservatives, this is not click bait.

Yep, Twitchy is a good site. I've been enjoying it a lot more lately.

[Drew68]

I’m not opening this stuff. Please tell us what it is, we are working. Thank you.

In a fraction of the time it took to write this reply, I highlighted Ted Koppel's name in the title, right clicked my mouse for a google search and then clicked on the "news" tab, something I've been able to do for the past decade.

The top two stories told me exactly what this was about.

[jjotto]

It’s not made up or plagiarized stuff like the various ‘Pundit’ blogs posted incessantly on FR.

Twitchy just catalogs stupid stuff said by libs on Twitter. It’s not really a news site in that sense.

It was started by Michelle Malkin and now owned by Salem.

I watch Trump at these Rallies, and you know, we all know, he’s from New York. He’s a bottom line kind of guy. Always has been, but he’s not full of crap. He’s as honest as he can be.

He has the patience of a Saint. He really does. He has the knowledge and intuition of Solomon. He has a really good heart, even though I’m sure he’ll come down on you, if you’re not doing the job.

You look at the thousands of interviews, and shorts in social media, and he’s always respectable, and cordial and funny...and smart.

He was heaven sent to us....no doubt about this... IN MY MIND.

Good for you

[usconservative]

I know, and I know who those few posters are too. They obviously won’t stop it and are IMO abusing the good will of this forum’s owner. I wish their behavior would be stopped.

Search Mark Dice in a YouTube Search. He covers it perfectly in 5 minutes.

Stelter is a Sissy Boy.
