Koppel on C-SPAN2: "I am a total idiot when it comes to the Internet"

[sabra]

Maybe that explains him totally dropping the ball in last night's report?

1. He should have stopped that message at

I am a total idiot.

[Zenlitened]

2. That's today's equivalent of saying...

"I am a total idiot when it comes to the library."

What a disgrace.

[Jo March]

3. He is an idiot

He doesn't even know that it's internets, plural.

Sigh. Some people just can't stick to the talking points.

[Atman]

4. That was made abundantly clear on Nightline last night

What a worthless POS show THAT was, eh?

[sabra]

5. No doubt!

I felt totally dissapointed.

11. But the important part WAS, the 'timing' of the story...the night before

the Inauguration. It's important to remember that of course they'll try and dismiss us. But the fact they even have to "defend" their side of the story, means they're on the offensive. They knew there'd be plenty of people in the streets today protesting the Inauguration and the Election Results, and they have a lot to hide.

They're no longer ignoring us. They're fighting us. And to quote Gandhi: "...then we win."

Do not let the scorn get you down. Scorn back the media whores who are NOT doing their job to investigate and cover the truth.

Then quit watching them, turn on CSPAN and the radio.

13. It's not just the TIMING, it the SPONSORS of the show last night

Ford Motor Company sponsored NightLine last night. It also is spending 250,000 on today's coronation. Gotta do a little story for your corporate massahs.

6. "Politics and the Media"

The kids are asking some really questions!

[Hugin]

7. And yet they call us... "Conspiracy Theorists" n/t

[Hugin]

8. I'm guessing Koppel lost the human race?

Am I right?

[sabra]

9. Huh?

[Hugin]

10. I read this link...

And I was wondering if Koppel was one of the losers.

[proudbluestater]

12. That goes without saying

[NationalEnquirer]

14. Well he'd better watch out.

The internet already took out one major anchor.
The rest had better bone up on what we are about.
Its a force to be reckoned with.

[The Backlash Cometh]

15. Wow! He said that?

Makes me respect him for it. It explains a lot.

[glitch]

16. Then he should hire people to inform him. He would if he were a journalist

I believe that's what journalists do -- they gather the information from people who know, they don't just blow speculation out their ass and call it news.
