American journalism is dead.
Someone should have stuck a cork in it. It bled out.

Report whats important, report it accurately, get it fact-checked, make sure that what youre saying is right, Koppel said. And then let the chips fall. He does realize that this would destroy the Democrats, doesn't he?

Is this the same Ted Koppel who praised serial liar and fake news producer Dan Rather, killed stories about Barack Obama's communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis and denied stories about destruction of evidence to support Hillary Clinton?
...oh

I don’t remember the details of why, but I remember Ted Koppel as a despicable piece of s***.

Walter Cronkite wasn’t subject to fact checking, unless you were in Vietnam or knew someone in Vietnam. Then it was clear that he was full of cheet.

Was Dan Rather fact checked when he published the forged Texas Air National Guard memos? Was NBC fact checked when it blew up a pickup truck with a model rocket engine to prove they were dangerous? Was the entire media corps fact checked for having their noses up Hillary’s ample backside?

Jeez, you mean to tell me Koppel ain't dead yet? Bummer.

He later added that a nation like ours cannot survive in freedom if we are incapable of agreeing on something as simple as what is factual.
I interpret that to mean: Life was much easier when the establishment media got to decide what was true and what was important for you to know.
We also (wink, wink) decided what was important for you *not* to know.
There has been significant differences in opinion about what is factual in the U.S. for much of our history.

The title immediately made me think he is either dead or outed. Usually that is the result of “Long-time . . .”

Re: “What social media does is give all of us the opportunity to say anything at any time at any length about anybody, without regard to fact-checking or its accuracy, he said. Thats something totally new.
So, it sounded like he’s decrying the fact the Internet makes it possible for the truth of an event to get out before the media or the government has a chance to censor it or spin it.

The problem isn’t news that’s “fake” — it’s news that’s slanted, usually leftward. I find their writing overemotional, to the point of irritating.

Ted, there’s a big difference between leftist propagandists and journalists. You do understand that, right?
