Ted Koppel on why he thinks Sean Hannity is bad for America

[yota691]

 

[pattyangel]

Ted Koppel praised Stephan Colbert and Jon Stewart a few years back for their journalism.  If this is who he associates himself with, then your fooled by his journalism.  These are men who are childish, whining babies and Ant-Trump, I don't call their journalism praise worthy.  Teddy boy has lost his marbles. 

[Shabibilicious]

Hannity is bad for everybody, not just America.  He's simply a conspiratorial dolt who managed to find his way to Fox News.......Blame and bluster is good for ratings.

FOX NEWS is more anti-America than almost anything or anyone I have seen or met... They want to destroy Democracy. Hell it's owned by a foreigner with a global agenda.

In the famous words of Dontlop - chew, chew, chew. LOL

[divemaster5734]

That is a compliment.

Ted Koppel is a globalist dirtbag who has been selling out America for fun and profit.

Let's see, besides nightline, he works for NPR, CBS, is a editor or something for The Guardian, but all they "guard" is the rights of the elites and socialists.

Heard he is working with "lyin Brian" Williams.

Hannity IS bad for "democracy", problem is, far too many idiots think America is a democracy.

We aint.

We are a democratic republic.

But America is a REPUBLIC, FIRST AND FOREMOST.

We have a representative government, but you wouldn't know it by all those feckless dolts out crying about Trump winning, blubbering about "popular vs electoral", and totally ignoring it was the democrats that enabled illegals to "vote", which basically means the democrats actively tried to overthrow America with illegal and subversive methods.

If those flipping progressive pissants were held to the same standards that conservatives were, the jails would be overflowing with stinking criminals and traitors who destroyed personal property, and attacked innocent humans.

Those faggotjerk protesters in Huntington Beach were lucky there were cameras present, or they would still be breathing through a freaking tube.

F you teddy, and f off to all dumbasses that think we live in a democracy.

You want a democracy, go to china, cuba, north korea, venezuela, spain, or even italy, just stay the hell out of America unless you are willing to live by OUR laws, and appreciate the millions of lives willingly sacrificed by patriots to keep America free.

Hannity had a show with a gentleman who recently passed away and was a shrill for the left. That is how he got his start with Fox so many years ago. After Colmes demanded to be rid of Hannity did Hannity get his own show. In all actuality if Colmes did not make the demands he did, Hannity would have never been a solo anchor on Fox News. Second, Hannity is not a journalist as he does bring news, albeit, through his opinion, which is not journalism. Hannity will tell you he is not a journalist because he interjects his opinion. Too many people conflate an individual's opinion with the way journalism is suppose to be. It's not and any journalist who says they have the First Amendment right to interject their opinion into their writing cannot be considered a journalist. A journalist is objective and should stand outside of the story.  A journalist interjecting biases, such as disparaging adverbs and adjectives, into their piece, the piece becomes an opinion piece not a news story. Many many so-called reporters do this under the auspices of the First Amendment and this is why there is fake news because its not news, it is opinion of the reporter to sway the masses in the direction the reporter/anchor leans. Until news goes back to being objective rather than subjective it will continue to be fake news as opinions are not news. (Disclosure: I used to help write for the six o'clock and saturday news shows. I also edited video packages for the news. I quit after the OKC bombing.)   Koppel was once an objective reporter and anchor but as time went on like rather he allowed his personal bias to enter into his stories. I no longer consider him a viable reporter or anchor.

And ratings is what makes the money. Any news director or television station not concerned with ratings is nothing but a government subsidized radio and television station. Ratings are what sets the price for spots and spots are the money makers for a television station. News is one of the biggest draws to advertisers because more people watch news than they do any other programming. In radio, again ratings matter combined with TSL. Hannity is good for Fox News Television and Radio because he has the highest ratings which draws in the advertisers. The advertisers are willing to pay top dollar for their spot to be aired during the Hannity shows. At least Hannity has never pulled a raving mad cow Maddow stunt to get ratings. That should have cost her job. Even Shaky  "I'm Gonna Wet MY Pants"  Matthews has never pulled a stunt like Raving Mad Cow Maddow in the name of news.

Loesch may have the body of an angel but she sided with Loony Toon Beck.Her mind is in question.  She also orchestrated a coup d'etat over Rush Limbaugh. She would eat her own children if it meant being on the radio and television. She espouses all the right principles but she will eat her own to espouse them. She is no more than a RINO in the making by selling her soul to the Company Store.. Besides I can't stand her when she goes ape-crap batty and starts yelling and the pitch of her voice goes into the upper stratosphere. My dog starts howling and the birds take flight. I swear somewhere wine glasses are breaking. I would rather listen to her scrape her nails down a chalkboard than to listen to her nagging high pitched voice.

You bring the restraint that I so vehemently refuse to observe, and I admire that.

I don't watch a lot of network, and have never even watched a Loesch piece, which means I really am lacking first hand knowledge of her presentation.

To be honest, there are only a couple Fox people I bother with, and even then I don't believe most of what they say, it's more for "keeping up with the enemy", same as I read democracy now, move on, think progress, and a few other far left sites.

Besides, it's fun as heck to log into a progressive forum and drop bombs, then sit back and laugh as they pound keyboards in outrage.

I can make 100 progressives hate me to my soul with instantly with one post, how cool is that?

There's a few with no profanity filters, we get into bare knuckle brawls. roflmao

Absolutely Fox knows Hannity is good for their pocket book.  They also know it's best for him to be on at 10 p.m......after America's impressionable children have gone to bed.

Loesch (pronounced Lash) is both on television and radio. She has her own radio show for awhile now. Before Trump was elected Loesch signed on with Blaze TV a Glen Beck outlet. The Blaze was formed after Beck was fired from FOX NEWS. She signed on with the Never Trumpers and put her John Hancock along with the other RINOs including Beck. She found out it took her nowhere. FOX NEWS only gives her airplay because 1) she is a syndicated radio show host 2) she fights for second amendment rights as a woman and 3) they don't have her as a host because she won't change her hair color and her temperament as evidenced by her radio show is to whiney that and she signed on with a Loon.

Well there it is, Beck was always about Beck, a proud a "Pied Piper" for the establishment.

His delusions of grandeur and intentional deceptions, wrapped in a twisted reality, was too painful to watch for me.

I can't argue that... Beck is a whack job pure and simple.

hahaha... setting; a quiet tranquil country road, 20 something couple with 2 1/2 children innocently hiking a magnificent beautiful forest.

Suddenly, from a deep, dark recess under the bridge, an eye opens, appearing from a nowhere void out of the blackness,  malevolent intent easily readable in the glowering red glare, portraying  the evil blackness of it's soul.

A thunderous growl that carries sonic waves which make the bridge structure shake.

"Halt, who goes there and what is your purpose?", causes the innocent couple to freeze in terror.

Then, out of the stillness of the stream explodes our hero, defying the troll's order to accept defeat, he counters the troll's lies with truth, assaults the deceptions with fact, and destroys that bridge to nowhere, stands back after explaining, and watching the epiphany wash over their faces, as that young family learns they have the power to control their oppressors, then bends his knee and gives thanks, as they are engulfed in the light of righteousness, as they can finally see the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ..
