Ted Koppel ticks me off .....about covering for bush ...this is ltte I wro
Ted,
Bush tried to speak without his a piece of paper with his scrip writers words. Look at the interview and then look at his campaign speeches. He reads what he is suppose to say. He can not think on his feet.

Ted you know this but yet acted surprize. You were making excuses for Bush.
He doesn't give interviews to reporters.
He only calls on reporters who have given pre screened questions.
His campaign is INVITATION only events
He doesn't take questions because his handlers know he can not handle them
He is not talking to all of American. He only allows some people into his events.

You surprized me tonight.
You need to be more observant of this man and that fact that he can not speak without a script in front of him

Eileen

1. Okay, remember this is the guy...
...who, when interviewed on NPR about the "perceived" bias in the media, said it was the viewers'/listeners' fault that the news media was biased. What do you expect?

2. When Koppel hosted Limbaugh
as a spokesperson about the environment, I became skeptical.

But when I actually saw Koppel actively intervene to protect and spectacularly LIE for Limbaugh from a factual "attack" from another guest, he lost me forever. For me, Limbaugh is a line in the sand where I hold all breachers accountable.

Koppel failed that test twice. Don't watch anymore. Never.

3. Had Bush been there...
Koppel would have been on his knees giving him a Lewinsky.   It was pathetic. :puke:
