Some people in the workplace have to feign liberalism to fit in; SOMEBODY cast all those votes for Trump...
I’ll give Koppel credit for this, but I still remember several years ago when he spent an entire two hours berating a group of white people who had left Detroit for the suburbs. For 2 hours he called them all racists and held them personally responsible for the mess that Detroit is in. This was coming from a man who lives in a gated community outside DC that is 97 percent white, and only about .02 percent black.
He ambushed Hannity with a chopped-up, selectively edited interview, which I’m sure he does at every chance he has.
We only know about that instance because Hannity called him out about it.
He’s a preening Leftist dimwit who is balanced about nothing.
from the article:
“...the notion that most of us look upon Donald Trump as being an absolute fiasco, hes not mistaken in that perception...”
“Thats the kind of language thats used by people who genuinely believe, and I rather suspect with some justification, that Donald Trump is bad for the United States...”
It sounds like he is including himself in the same group of Trump haters that he is criticizing.
Those Khmer Rouge self-criticism sessions you describe would be bearable if they are on company time and you don’t have to make it up staying late; let the company bear the costs of the Red Trojan Horse they let inside the gates.
“Someone stood up, and told her that she spouted ‘Macro-Aggression’ and that her ‘words were offensive.’”
Wow. That took some balls. Did that person survive? I got in big trouble for simply rolling my eyes during one of those awful mandatory PC seminars. (I love retirement.)
he isn’t an even handed journalist
He is an ass who is proud of the attacks and diminishment of Trump and trump supporters.
Conservatives are so desperate to be liked that they take crumbs like this to justify their viewpoint.
in reality, conservatives have an excellent and realistic viewpoint and it needs no bolstering by leftists lapdogs.
I do not think the media or the people who follow the MSM even bother to defend themselves against claims of bias anymore. The agenda is clear. We do not really need a Ted Koppel to tell us this. If you need a Ted Koppel to sway you then youre just being ignorant. The media is heart and soul of the Democratic propaganda machine.
Exactly why I DO NOT and WILL NOT read or follow anything the liberal media puts forth. I have not, nor will I watch any TV news programs (including Fox News). The media idiots are guilty of major damage to this country and need to be reigned in. I want that actual “news”, not some jerks opinion telling me what he/she wants me to be hear. Where might a new, non-biased news station be hiding?
LOL, at 4 AM, unless you have cable (I don’t) you Freep, surf the internet, or watch the home shopping channel!
True.
Management and certain employees shot the guy dagger eyes. Others had pained expressions. I dont know if they took him outside behind the dumpster or anything, but he didnt get fired. Even the libs knew this seminar was BS. I remember the days when the most painful thing they would drag employees to was another TQM propaganda fest. These days, things can get downright Stalinistic.
Many years ago, Koppel gave the graduation speech at Duke University. It was in the football stadium... a large graduation.... He was on regular TV at the time and I expected “one of those” speeches. But he gave the most conservative speech I’ve heard. I was so surprised and it was a very good speech. I wanted a copy.. it was that good.
So I never found out if he was the guy on the news or the guy who gave that speech.
Koppel is old school...
~~~
Agree.
I always felt a tinge of that east coast liberal in night line, but what can you do, it’s practically institutional. He was old school in that his reporting really seemed motovated to expose a story, and drill down to the essentials.
It’s very little like the current activist motivations you see now where you blurt out a few facts or play a few soundbites, then go into punditry.
I need a hobby :)"
______________
I thought he was dead? (at least should be)
ROFLMAO!!!!!
Very true.
lol
Someone had guts!
I had to look it up :)
I thought it was something you drank lol
But thanks for the idea. I used to play tons of Solitaire in my 20s when we had down time at Citi.
