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.'

Hannity needs to act more like Cernovich on 60 minutes last night, when being interviewed 👌

[bigbob]

Says the man who’s head is wider than his shoulders

[Texas Eagle]

Why did he even agree to the interview in the first place?

I think it's known as "slummin'".

[WKUHilltopper]

Ted Koppel=a concubine for spirit cooking, perverted globalists.

[ichabod1]

How the heck old is that man? Why is he on TV? He isn’t still working is he?

[FrankR]

Hannity has a job...Koppel doesn’t!

‘Nuff said...

[Baynative]

It is hard to believe that Hannity could be foolish enough to sit for an interview without making his own audio copy.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Ted Koppel, excellently channeling Saul Alinsky.

[Red Badger]

He naively thought he would get a ‘clean’ interview from an old hack........................

[HelloooClareece]

Koppel and Hannity are equally biased yet only one calls himself a “journalist”.

Which one’s worse for America?

[GBA]

Koppel said 'yes' and elaborated: 'You have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts'.

As if that doesn't apply to you, Ted? Hahahaha... Oh the irony, the hypocrisy and the insanity of our world's talking heads on TV.

As Ted proudly demonstrates, progressives have mastered the "art" of accusing others of what they themselves are doing, so much so that he believes his own stuff.

These are dangerous times, Ted ol' boy, and you better get a hold of something solid:

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
2 Thessalonians 2:11

LOL!

[al baby]

He looks like my left nut after surfing

[Tax-chick]

I’m older than you.

Koppel added: ‘You have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts.’

Mr. Koppel do you want to try and back that assertion up with some facts?

You of left that truth is relative
That that are of infinite number of genders invented daily
You that blacklivesmatter but the rest don’t
You that say Michael Brown had his hands up and was shot in the back
You that they’re not different between legal and illegal immigration
You that there’s no such thing as radical Islamic terrorism
You that an organization called La Raza is not inherently racist
You that vetting people from 6 countries is a Muslim ban
You that Hillary running a private email server was perfectly logical and not Criminal
You that the Benghazi attack was driven by a video tape

Give me one something on the right that ideology is more important than fact versus a hundred on the left

You probably say global warming you say is indisputable

I will put up that two genders is more indisputable fact than your global warming any day ( I’ll give you XX and XY sometimes can be corrupted)

So come on Koppel you made it pretty broad assertion so PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!!.........

Give me the right ideology is more important than facts list..and let put it up against the left

We need to stay on Koppel ass on this to PUT UP OR SHUT UP on this ideology is more important and fax charges putting out there. I say we keep grinding on him till he backs off and apologizes and admits he’s full of s*** an infected total hypocrite

Ted Koppel is English. He’s also 5’ 4” tall. As long as he’s been on TV you can sum up everything about him when you realize he has a small man’s complex.

That’s the on-air equivalent of “Fuck you, asshole!”, that moment when you know that person should not have been arguing with you because he doesn’t have the intellect for it.

[goodnesswins]

Hmmm...did not know Koppel was alive

[Vehmgericht]

Verginius Rufus,
“Koppel, an only child, was born in Nelson, England, after his German Jewish parents fled Germany following the rise of Adolf Hitler and Nazism.[2] In 1953, when he was 13, the family immigrated to the United States.[3]” Info provided by the Pope of Poona.

This is something ALL conservatives need to keep in mind when being interviewed; there will never be full disclosure if you don't INSIST that your own cameras run simultaneously.

Correct. Then post the real version on Youtube. Modern tech enables other views to be seen and heard.
