Showing Original Post only (View all)Ted Koppel Gives it to FoxNews - To Their Face!! [View all]
Last edited Fri Sep 21, 2012, 03:38 PM - Edit history (1)
Ted Koppel visits Bill O' Reilly on his show on FoxNews - but he is honest (unlike the rest of the folks on FoxNews) and let's Bill O' Reilly know EXACTLY what he thinks of their brand of 'news'.
When O'Reilly says the difference between FoxNews and MSNBC is that Fox does HARD NEWS, you can almost sense Koppel is going to break out in a loud laugh. He is more thoughtful in his response, but shows what a real journalist is like by using restraint, but you know he must be thinking it.
Koppel doesn't have any problem with a business (like Fox News) being a business, whether for entertainment or politics, but he refuses to fall in with the Fox News opinion that they are either REAL news or anything remotely close to it.
You will love the ending when O'Reilly suggest what he is doing at Fox is NOBLE work.

What was Kopple's last word? I couldn't make it out as the sound cut off then.

LOL-smooch at the end is hilarious. O'Reilly admits there that all the prime time shows are not NEWS

Loofah Guy is indeed that arrogant. Not to mention grotesque as a human being.

MSNBC is as biased and tilted to the left as O'Reilly claims. The only difference

I think MSNBC doesn't lie. But, they don't put too many negative stories about corrupt dems

With the exception of the Morning Joke, MSNBC is pretty honest - both about themselves

We can't be on top and sell a product that is inferior or dishonest.
