Ted Koppel: “Fox News is Bad for America” | The Big Picture
Ted Koppel from the middle, boy you sure must be too young to remember much of what he has said in the past??? There was a time, back in the Reagan era he was middle of the road and very fair, the longer he was on TV the more liberal he became. BTW, he is right, O'Reilly isn't a jounalist and has never pretended to be one, so what is your point or Koppels for that matter?

That describes viewers of every news outlet under the sun, especially the PBS crowd.

The third estate has always believed it has the right to control what is news and interpret it;no shock here.What they worry about is their basic belief that people are stupid and need controlled by a elite.

Most of the programing on PBS is apolitical. Children watch it.

This statement is absolutely absurd. Do tell me what you think Koppel's ideology is. Go ahead, I dare you to call him a liberal. His best friend ("co-ideologue") is Henry Kissinger! He was even taken to task for being TOO CONSERVATIVE in 1987. You righties really do live in a fantasy world where anybody who says something you don't like must be a left-wing ideologue. You make fools of yourselves day after day by repeating lies... but then again, I guess that's the "Fox News way".

and of course you do realize more people watch FOX than any other cable network don't you? In fact not just a majority but a huge one. So, I guess that means those who watch are clueless and the handful that do not watch FOX are the only ones that know what is happening...

I was referring to PBS' news outlets, not Sesame Street, & cet.

Do you know what apolitical means. PBS is so left-leaning that anybody should be able to recognize it. Not as much as MSNBC or CNN but left-leaning for sure.

Please show me a single youtube clip of a PBS newscast which pushes a political agenda the way Fox does.

Just. One.
