Ted Koppel: Trump's 'Not Mistaken' That Liberal Media Are Blatantly 'Out to Get Him'

Thank you, Captain Obvious. The liberal media would never have been a friend to Trump under the best of circumstances. But there's a war on between the President and the media and both sides are out to win it.

Working for NYNEX in the mid 90s I was forced to attend one of these with “Teamwork” as the purported theme. During the course of discussions a young, female black worker kept touting the word “diversity”. This was a word not in much use at the time.
Being the pot-stirrer I was I asked, “What is “diversity”?
After thinking a moment, she responded, “Getting rid of all those 50 year old white guys.”
The silence was deafening! After a few moments the “facilitator” suggested that we all take a break.
While in the cafeteria I was called to some guy’s office where a phone was handed to me. On the other end was my foreman. I was informed that I was needed back on the job and was released to the field.

Never heard how the rest of that meeting went, but by the end of that decade I was given (not JUST me) a very nice early retirement package.....which I gladly accepted.

I knew Teddy when he was young, when was in the next year's pledge class at Alpha Chi Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha at Syracuse University. I helped put him through Hell Week myself, an experience designed to tested his character.

Even then, he was stable, mature, reasonable, and persistently reliable even before the age of twenty.

Several years later, I recognized his voice reporting from Vietnam on ABC radio, even before his name was given. I was so pleased.

In another meaningful TV broadcast, I watched him as the arbitrator of a debate between very capable reasonable representatives of the State of Israel and the unreasonable illogical appointed speakers representing the PLO. Both sides respected him and his cool ability to keep them in order during the debate. This even though Ted was himself Jewish in descent.

You know Grace Anne Dorney, his first and only wife, is a Catholic, right? I've read biographies on him. To me, though liberal-leaning, Ted was/is the epitome of a cool, reasonable, well-spoken observer of the world picture facing us.

A really big Little Brother of Pie Kay Aye, but able to get his dander up when it fits the occasion.

I worked with some liberals. Yes, pretty sharp and generally well-oriented tech-wise. I was impressed with some of their stuff.

They couldn’t read the tea leaves if you glued them to a 2x4 and whacked them between the eyes several times. They were committed to ridiculous ideology. For that matter, since it was a church organization, you couldn’t use Scripture to show them their gross error in many ways.

Another was not so bright, though. His voting depended upon one demographic, mostly. Talked all about knowing Jesus. Had no problem with homosexual marriage. You just can’t believe you’re having these conversations with these people.

I have no doubt the Antichrist is just going to waltz right in, with hardly any opposition. In fact, he will be cheered by many on the Left.

Glad that all worked out for you. That woman actually gave the honest answer of what “Diversity” really means.

Teddy was the great one, I was the loser at fraternity life. He talked his way out of school and graduated as a fine communicator; I drank my way out of school, and left after the fourth year without graduating.

I got married to s fine young woman who bore my children. While working a couple of years as a bread truck driver I taught myself the two semesters of calculus that I had flunked, and on the basis of that effort to recoup, was tested out and invitedby the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University to matriculate as an engineering student, where I never missed the Dean's List.

To shorten an otherwise long tale of an enriched life of experiences, the outcome was that ten years after the B. S. degree, I eventually persevered to obtain the Ph. D. degree in Ceramic Science. My life as an inventor and innovator with several corporations and universities, was concluded by retiring from the Dupont Company, where I was a Senior Research Scientist.

Ted Koppel went on to become one of the best world-recognized news communicators, and I to my own niche of electronics innovation. But now after having left active scientific research twenty-five years ago, an old missionary took the time to disciple me in the Ways of God. Now, I am committed to the Lord in an eternal vocation as a teacher of His new born-again babes in Christ.

Only God knows the end from the beginning. For us it is a never-ending adventure, full of surprises. Another of the happy serendipetous coincidences has been to become acquainted with your own exciting achievements, which to me are quite beyond my own, with the possibility through these forum exchanges of becoming your FRiend and encourager.

A salud, mon Amie! Toute la Vie, thou Saltine Warrioress of Onandaga! Be an Old Pilot, not a Bold Pilot!

That was the most eloquent, the most poetic, and the wisest post I have ever read on FR in over 20 years. It is also the most inspiring life story.

God bless you brother.

Just making public a point or two in which my Post #52 may need correctio, to wit:

(1) Perhaps my "Amie" should have bben "Ami"; and

(2) the term "Warrioress" should then have been "Warrior" instead.

=====

Together with Ted Koppel and many other kids of the '50s, we remember the old Archbold Stadium football game chant (according to my best recall):

The Saltine Warrior is a bold, bad man
And his weapon is the pigskin ball.
When on the field he takes a good firm stand
He's the hero of large and small.
He will fight, he will fight
With both might and main;
His opponents will fight,
But they fight in vain,
Because the Saltine Warrior is a bold, bad man
And victo-ri-uh-ous over a-a-all!

===

(Now utterly disavowed by his disloyal but PC offspring.)

That woman actually gave the honest answer of what “Diversity” really means.

I knew what the word meant, just wasn't expecting the age specificity that she volunteered. I was removed from that group simply because the facilitator didn't like the answer that was given to my question...not because of my question.

Several years later, the same scenario played out on the national stage. A fellow standing in his driveway asked a presidential candidate a question. That candidate answered in what was for him, an honest yet not well appreciated manner. As a result, the national media and every backer of that candidate went batshit crazy deamonizing the fellow in the driveway.

Once again, the problem was the answer not the question.
