O'Neil is taking Ted Koppel apart right now and Koppel is trying to keep him from talking. this is real good.
Right, why wouldn't Koppel point out that Kerry's own testimony on the matter completely refutes the vietnamese story.
Koppel: Put down the books! Put down the books!
This reminds me of the liberal wacko on Hannity who didn't like Hannity pointing at him and told him, "put away the finger!" Even Alan Colmes thought the guy was crazy.
This is worse than CBS.
To give creedence to sources in a communist nation is a joke. It would be like interviewing native cubans about Fidel in Havana, how could you expect the answers to be untainted by the government.
Furthurmore, Koppel mentioned 12 VC at one point and then 20. He couldn't even keep his story straight.
Disgusting.
Hey, someone should get ahold of those peasants and find out how much ABC paid them to lie! All you'd have to do is pay them to tell the truth.
Whens the re-run??? I missed it!
Floppel looked like an amateur tonight.
Could you post a link to Nightline's email address?
"You've been had Ted, by the Vietnamese." LOL
go to: http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/PersonOfWeek/story?id=64544 and fill in the form.
You should have seen Ted take this huge heavy sigh as they were going to commercial...LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Yes, and I'm sure the government knew exactly what ABC , having issued visas, permits etc, and helpfully "found" the right people.
Koppel is treating O'Neill as a hostile witness ... O'Neill is firing back. "pathetic"
'without bothering to look' at US soldiers reports.
Koppel wants to treat their report as 'objective truth' and any other source as irrelevent ... jeez, no wonder O'Neill is ticked. OTOH, O'Neill is weak on the point of relying on Kerry's own recollections. I believe that Koppel and Nightlight picked this incident because IT IS THE INCIDENT THAT PUTS KERRY IN THE BEST LIGHT.
No mention of 'winter soldier'
Koppel focusses on 1 incident ... why is that????
They took 2 months. Two months to get a different story.
'you seem reluctant to admit that peasant confirms ... Kerry's story?'
Ahem, Koppel, you seem reluctant to show any respect for Swift vets unless you have the 'goods' on something to show them up. You tried hostile, 'gotcha' interview and ONeill refused to play by your rules.
WHY - DEVOTE ANOTHER PROGRAM ?
"SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT" Um, when was the record 'bent' and who ... "Our interviews dont prove Kerry deserved a silver star, but they are consistent with after action"
Did they find anything that contradicted Kerry's biography?
I didnt hear much of that - the man was older, dressed in pajamas ... okay, is this a significant factor in whether the SS was deserved? It was in Kerry's book. what else... there were more VC there ... but there is
no reporting that indicates anything specific to danger to Kerry beyond the 'single fleeing VC'. Even the peasants were hiding until the battle was over, how would they know???
Koppel is "Rather ruined".
You should did. Oneill is a true American. Koppel needs to go report his junk to the VC.
Koppel kept talking "over" O'Neil....gawd these people are disgusting!
Seriously?
Because lefty journalists believe that in the end, ANY foreigner is more honest than ANY American.
Anyone record the show? If you're able to email it, please freepmail me.
Tape it, if it hasn't aired in your time zone yet.
You won't regret it!
He told Koppel he'd been HAD. It was so good he had my adrenalin flowing. Koppel was as unglued as Mc Auliffe on H&C last nite...
