Ted Koppel: Trump's 'Not Mistaken' That Liberal Media Are Blatantly 'Out to Get Him'
Newsbusters ^ | March 18, 2019 | P.J. Gladnick

Wow! This somehow slipped beneath the radar but it is highly significant considering who said it. In fact if you read just what the person said, you might even think that most of it was spoken by someone at NewsBusters. However, what is significant, is the words were uttered by former ABC News star Ted Koppel on March 7 during a discussion with Marvin Kalb at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

An article to print out and show to journalists whenever they laughably claim that the news media has no bias.

Koppel has usually been one of the more balanced observers and commentators of events. Even Rush Limbaugh once remarked that to call Koppel “a liberal” wasn’t being really fair to the guy.

Sometimes when you don’t have to worry about money or your job, you can say things you would never have before.

Or not.

I don’t know :)

I know firsthand.

I had to nod and smile at stupid liberal comments when going on interviews at investment banks in Manhattan.

Once I got hired and the two males bosses were conservatives who loved me, I attacked :)

Maybe out of 50 workers in my dept, there was a libertarian and that’s it. 49 hardcore, left wing die hards.

Made for interesting conversations.

I only had allies when the Jewish liberal guys got mad at the antisemitic liberal guys over Israel :)

After reading the piece I have to ponder that WOW! Liberals like Ted sure are thick headed.

I mean Gawd, they still couch things as maybe? How much proof do they need?

=============

Agreed.

He was scripted at times but closer to balanced than most would give him credit for and was quite articulate in many cases.

We could only dream today that the MSM was anywhere close to were Ted Koppel was when he was in his prime.

Yes. Yes they are.

But don’t tell the liberals. They call it “great reporting” with “journalistic integrity”.

I saw some clip of Brian Williams (on Hannity’s excerpt I think).

I see Brian Williams is still a stinking rat. (no offense to stinking rats intended).

Not that I expected him to change.

The Mainstream Media consists of PATHOLOGICAL LIARS trying to maintain their position of INDOCTRINATING the reading and viewing public with their failed MARXIST/LEFTIST IDEOLOGY.

They produce their FAKE NEWS while pretending to be objective and unbiased. They are far from objective and unbiased ... they are simply an extension and arm of the Marxists/Leftists Democrats. They are out to DESTROY AMERICA and anyone who puts AMERICA FIRST.

The MSM uses propaganda techniques honed over the course of decades by Soviet operatives. They learned these techniques from Soviet moles who infiltrated the media years ago.

The sad part is that our MSM willingly pushes the socialist narrative, while its counterparts at TASS were coerced into spreading propaganda.

Thanks for sharing that.

A few years ago, my company decided to bring in some leftist/feminist/Communist to give a "seminar" on "Micro-aggression in the Workplace."

As you can suspect, people knew beforehand that the premise of this "seminar" was to browbeat and humiliate anyone who dared to have a different opinion from the liberal wackjob mob.

When not enough people signed up, they made it "mandatory." As suspected, the woman giving the "seminar" started demeaning anyone who was not a leftist/feminist/Communist, and encouraged other employees to "call them out" if they didn't agree. Someone stood up, and told her that she spouted "Macro-Aggression" and that her "words were offensive." The leftists in the room gasped! How dare you!!!

Ted's a fellow Syracuse alum. He has come back to the university several times to speak to journalism majors. They need to listen to him.

He looks exactly like my wifes cousin who is a total liberal. Which I don’t understand because he lost his job as an electronic engineer due to one of those H1 visa holders. He even had to train his replacement. Talk about insult to injury. I have found that some liberals are intelligent in certain areas but stupid as heck in others.
