Ted Koppel had some harsh words for Fox News host Sean Hannity this morning.
In a CBS 'Sunday Morning' segment, the veteran news journalist said he thinks Hannity, a Fox News commentator, is 'bad for America'.
Hannity said, of the difference between commentary shows such as his own and actual news programs: 'We have to give some credit to the American people that they are somewhat intelligent and that they know the difference between an opinion show and a news show.'
Hannity then called Koppel 'cynical,' which Koppel affirmed.
Hannity asked: 'Do you think we're bad for America? You think I'm bad for America?'
Koppel said 'yes' and that 'in the long haul' such 'influential' talk shows as Hannity's hurt the American people.
Koppel added: 'You have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts.'
Hannity said that Koppel's rebuke was 'sad.'
On the television program, Hannity also said that 'liberalism has to be defeated' and said that 'angry snowflakes, a 'Democratic establishment' and 'the press in this country' are all obstacles.
Hannity later tweeted about the news segment and referred to it as 'fake edited news.'

Ted Koppel tells Sean Hannity to his face that he is ‘bad for America’
Koppel has no clue of who he is, who or what america is or what news is.
He is not even wrong.
I listen to Hannety.
Not to Koppel.
My bet is that H will outlast K.
Sean gets a wakeup call.
Being nice will NOT help you get your message thru.
Glad to see he seems to be waking up to this.
What we have, again, is a "heavily-edited" video cherry-picking segments to make the subject look bad. What's most hysterical is that Koppell is expressing HIS opinion that other opinions are bad.
CBS should stream the whole thing.
Ted Koppel is English. He should be apologizing to Sean for England’s 750 years of enslaving Ireland, for Oliver Cromwell, and for the English indifference during the potato famine (when food being grown in Ireland was being exported to England, while 1 million Irish died of starvation).
Don’t worry about it, Sean. Other than people confined to their nursing home beds, nobody saw it.
Why did Hannity agree to such an interview? He had to know that he would be butchered on the air. Without editorial control, the media can take any interview and slice and dice it to say anything they want.
When talking with the effete elite (Spiro Agnew had their number long ago) you must parse their terms very carefully. They claim to be the leaders of America and therefore they ‘are’ America. So anything they don’t like is bad for their America.
I have a rule of thunb: use invective, lose the argument. Koppel lost.
Ted Koppel, Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw .. all examples of the time when the newsmedia had the truth in their hands, and tossed it into the basket, in favor of THEIR chosen stories, written in THEIR ‘slant’.
To tell Sean Hannity that HE is ‘bad for America’, actually means that he is GOOD for America.
If you did NOT know, the day the North Vietnamese tanks rolled into the South Vietnamese capital, Saigon, Peter Jennings was on-air as giddy as a kid who just had a girl tell him that she liked him.
Koppel is a mid-septuagenarian who just needs to STFU. He should be satisfied with his liberal millions and just suck it. He defended that HS dropout Peter Jennings and I watched both of them onstage once. They were perhaps the two most arrogant bastards I’ve ever seen in my life.
The gigantic-headed sphincter just needs to STFU. He has no dog in this unless he’s already blown his millions.
The msm is spiraling out of control.
Koppell is ABC. Over on CBS, Pelley can’t let a day go by without saying Trump is losing it or he’s a liar or whatever. MSNBC and CNN have long been down the tubes.
Referring To Leftist Totalitarian Marxist as “Liberal” is a FAIL.
You mean like George W. Bush's Air National Guard records?
Why did he even agree to the interview in the first place?
He knows it’s a trap and a gotcha bazaar...............
