Ted Koppel tells Sean Hannity he is "Bad for America" to his face

I agree, there supposed to report the news then give their opinion on it. Now it's all opinion and hannity is one/if not the worst. He contorts, manipulates, gives an incomplete slanted information on stories or simply doesn't cover or mention negative news/ideas negative about trump
 
radio talk hosts, tv news pundits/personalities, and internet "news" sites


all foster hate to line their pockets. Scum. all of them.


as are the powers that give them voice.




and we the people have been culpable for a long time in helping and allowing the misbehaving to gain celebrity.

I think this quote from Ted Koppel sums up the plague that cable news has become in the United States. Sean Hannity is not the only host that is guilty of this, there are many others that are similar to him. In the past, Koppel has said similar things about Bill O'Reilly and Rachel Maddow.

Do you agree with Ted Koppel that ideologues on "news" programs have had a negative impact on our country's ability to separate fact from opinion?

Here is the exchange for those of you who cannot watch the video:

He said the same thing to Rachel Maddow just to put things in perspective.

Oh no, he didn't waste his time in college and instead got a real job and actually did something with his life. Now he has a life of experience and knowledge that he didn't obtain from sitting on his ass in class all day long. Yeah, better make sure to never listen to this guy who went from being a low-tier contractor to having his own talk show and making a fuck ton of money.

That being said, Hannity is often over the top, but for a long time nobody had the balls to say the shit he was saying on the air. I hate the way he'll ask his guest a question with a pompous arrogance and then cut them off when they really make him look silly. But hey, most of them follow that same protocol.

Regardless, he's done well for himself and who gives a shit if he didn't finish school? He made something out of himself anyway.

Doesn't Hannity practice MMA? Anyone know who his favorite fighter is?

And I bet he could strangle every Shertard that dissed him in this thread.

Hannity gets so much hate. This man is exactly what America needs. Too many Americans are getting brainwashed by the left. Hannity provides mind changing facts that shook liberals all the way to the core. Believe me.

Sorry about that i went straight to the youtube videos without even reading everything you typed.

Ted Koppel is correct but the part he seems to not get is that due to changing demographics identity politics are the future of America.

Koppel is older so he might not realize that it's not the 1980's anymore when America was still a European country.

This wasn't really meant to be a Sean Hannity bashing thread, as much as it was meant to question the entire premise of "opinion news" programs, and whether or not they are damaging political discourse across the entire spectrum. Ted Koppel happens to be talking to Hannity, but he's not really singling him out. He's basically saying the industry in which Hannity has made his millions is garbage.

You know, I can see that side of the argument, but most people don't have time to invest into politics. So I see why people look to people such as Hannity or Maddow or the others to help them "catch up" and determine what all the nuances and bullshit means. Of course you're relying on that persons interpretation of events / timelines / facts / figures, so obviously you need to try and bypass the bias.

I think thats fair. Opinion news is now the most prevalent kind.

Amazing response with meme included... seeing a pattern of morons here. Congratulations! I even said I don't always agree with Sean and I'm not shill for him in any manner. But he had some balls to get on the air and say things which he knew weren't PC or popular. You are free to dispute what he says and debate that in any manner that you wish.

My main point in responding to was to refute his suggestion that Hannity is an idiot simply because he didn't finish college. Tons of people didn't finish or attend college and have led successful and fulfilling lives. Didn't Bill Gates drop out of college as well?

Regardless, glad you posted a meme and had no real substance to your post.

I think you made a typo here. I didn't say anything about Hannity going to college or being an idiot.
 
I don't care for Hannity but I don't see how he is "bad for America".

This has been my criticism of the partisan leftists and those on the right...

More and more, Political Dogma is considered to be more important and credible than facts.

According to the lefts slogan of "I'm with her", having a vagina is more important than facts.

Ideology above facts is better than "genitalia above facts"

Many Hillary supporters voted for her cuz "I'm with her".
