SEAN HANNITY Stands Up For His Rights With CBS And Ted Koppel Interview!
IWB ^ | Pamela Williams

Posted on 03/27/2017 5:11:55 AM PDT by davikkm

Mainstream Media has truly declared war on those of us who do not watch and agree with them. Sean Hannity of FOX NEWS was interviewed by Ted Koppel of CBS. But instead of playing the whole interview straight through, they hacked it up, leaving out essential parts. They made the interview to express what they wanted it to express. Hannity has thus asked them to play the unedited version straight through, and he is rightfully angry at their manipulation.

“Why did Ted cut out my many examples of media bias?,” Hannity asked on Twitter. He’s also asking CBS News release the entire 45 minute interview “so people can see the BS games you play in the edit room. I dare you!”

Koppel’s story wasn’t a profile of Hannity, but rather how Hannity’s show, and those like it, exacerbate the divide, which led to a contentious moment:

The way Koppel spoke to him is rude and deceitful. Here is the transcript:

Hannity: You think we’re bad for America? You think I’m bad for America.

Koppel: Yeah. Yeah. In the long haul I think you, and all these opinion shows…

Hannity: You do? Really? That’s sad.

Koppel: …because you’re very good at what you do and because you have attracted a significantly more influential…

That's why Trump is smart to use Twitter.

Propaganda is all about controlling the direction of the listener's thoughts.

Ted Koppel wishes he had the talent of Sean Hannity....Ted is on CBS sometimes...is that right?? Ted is a liberal turd who thinks he’s better than everyone else...my bet is he could not find Texas on a map.

Better Q: Why didn’t H. have his OWN recording. He could have shown their bias the day after w/o having to ‘dare ‘em’

At least he goes to show how/why the Socialists are working. You don’t enlighten w/o the proof.

As long as conservatives continue appearing on CNN, MSNBC, or the three major networks, I have no pity for how they are treated or misrepresented. They go into the interviews with eyes wide open. Quit complaining and don’t give them the opportunity to do what they do best: lie...

I’m surprised Sean fell for that baited interview.

Right. We all know that if we lie down with dogs, we get up
with fleas. It’s a given, and grousing about it after the
fact is just naïve-looking.

Koppel goes after Hannity. 60 Minutes goes after Mike Cernovich. Must be a new dictate to the MSM from their DNC Party Masters. Discredit all conservative opinion shapers.

Sean, here is what I would ask you on “Twitter” if actually used it:

Why were you stupid enough to let those people use you to get ratings?

It almost goes without saying that *anyone* who speaks with the leftist media in front of *their* cameras, *has* to have their own cameras on as well.

When the inevitable lying, editing, deceit, and other dirty tricks happen, you can then counter it. You probably even need to time stamp yours, to counter the leftist media claims that *they* didn’t edit it, that *you* did.

Importantly, *your* version doesn’t need to have high quality video, but *very* high quality audio, to make your case. And record *all* the interactions between you and them, *especially* during any breaks in the interview.

Because, you guessed it, they use those breaks to their advantage to smear you as well.

Probably the best bet would be to bring two assistants who are both wearing GoPros, but with enhanced audio. So you can get two different camera angles, and have redundancy for any garbled audio.

Koppel is one of the elder statesman of liberal propaganda and fake news...25 years in charge of the pravda way of deciding what’s newsworthy for the peasants via Nightline turned this pompous sanctimonious douche into what he is...go play shuttleboard or something...

Why are those on the Right so gullible?

Hannity has been in the media long enough to know NEVER do an interview without contractual editing rights or provision that no cuts are made.

He knows how the Left is, so it should be no surprise if they edited his comments to their benefit.

So...as Koppel expressed his disdain for “opinion shows”, he expressed his “opinion” on the “opinion shows”.

Perfect, liberal, logic!

I didn't know Ted Koppel was on CBS. Then again, I really don't watch much TV anymore and especially don't watch the lying LIEberal SUCKBAGS on the "mainstream" networks.

So Ted Koppel wants America to unite under the LIBERAL LIE that CNNABCNBCCBSMSNBC and more regurgitate on TV daily, rather than hear the truth.

Koppel's complaint is that we're not "united" and has nothing to do with the TRUTH.

That's a stunning revelation IMO.

So what’s the big deal? This is just part of this week’s “narrative” in the Media, the White house, and here on Free Republic that “conservative ideologues” are the people responsible for the “divisiveness in America.”

Isn't that the truth? I have been amazed at the people here on FR, who are damning the Freedom Caucus for holding firm against the Socialist agenda.

Seems they think the Freedom Caucus should have screwed over their constituents, just like Rinos do, because President Trump shouldn't be stopped from winning, even though the prize was only a pile of crap.

Expect to hear unedited audio of the interview on his radio show.

Don't think it will happen, it's protected property of CBS.......

With that being said, Hannity is on the air right now asking them to air the entire tape...........Fox hosts this morning also came to Sean's defense......

This is going to come back and bite Koppel and CBS right in the ass.................

Libtards still have no clue about the power of pissed off Conservatives.....They gave us Trump and still haven't figured out how and why.
