Ted Koppel is a shameless * shill

[valerief]

I didn't hear one mention of the navy ship available. Not one mention of all the help turned away.

He's got his head so far up *'s xxx.

1. I don't think so.

Some journalists are trying to tell the truth.

2. I'm talking about Ted Koppel being a shameless shill.

3. Bullshit

He was great during the Smear vet stuff. The report from North Vietnam and then tearing John O'Neill a new asshole.

Just because someone doesn't go where you think they should go doesn't make them a Bush bot.

4. You must not have been watching ABC the past hour

7. I just tuned in to the end

and I got the impression that he was doing a good job reminding people so that no matter what Bush promises now, we remember it's late and won't bring back the dead.

OMG: the president will change the politics will change and hope will be renewed! That's the promo for the Geena Davis show. NICE leadin to George.

8. I don't ride the roller coaster

He's not a cool guy one minute, and shit the next based on one report. Taken as a whole, he's a pretty good reporter.

5. Koppel is typically one of best - he actually thinks.

I read a book of his and it was really excellent. He seems to be a thoughtful and skeptical person.

6. He was an apologist for * in the ABC special the past hour

None of the gritty details were told. No explanation of why sooooooooo much relief was turned away. No explanation of why FEMA didn't have a clue as to what "we need everything" means. A GOP shill in care-giver clothing.

9. Meanwhile there are two threads on GD who say it's great

Opinions, everyone has one. Whatchagonna do.
