2. As he should

even if Koppel did have a valid observation, but he partially should have looked in the mirror.

3. Wish he could have used the Special Comment on the TSA instead

The terrorists are winning, thanks to Homeland Security.

7. He equated O'Liely with KO

Ted Koppel on Sunday published an op-ed at the Washington Post wherein he claimed that opinionated television personalities like MSNBC's Keith Olbermann represent ...More the death of real news.

16. You mean that Koppel's picked up Jon Stewart's schtik?

I hope Ted gives Jon attribution.

12. I agree mr. skittles

I used to watch k.o. and rachel and all the sunday news shows, but now they are sensationalist. I read this forum and the new york times. that is it. No t.v. watching except Hoarders and Mad Men!

19. I dont' watch any of it anymore on TV

although I will occasionally watch youtube clips of them from DU posts - I can't take it, it is all just nauseating and I'm glad they're getting called out - hilarious that they react just as we'd expect - "tearing new ones" - GAWD

13. I agreed with a lot of Jon Stewart

but I disagreed with Koppel. No one who allowed the BUsh lies to overwhelm a country into fear should get involved in the debate. Koppel was a fugging coward when it mattered.
