Ted Koppel tells Sean Hannity he is bad for America
NEW YORK -- In a report that aired on CBS’ “Sunday Morning” about the polarization of politics and the media in the Age of Trump, “Sunday Morning” special contributor Ted Koppel charged Fox News host Sean Hannity with contributing to the increased antipathy toward opposing viewpoints that is prevalent in America.
Hannity made no qualms about presenting his own conservative agenda, but objected to Koppel characterizing his viewers as not being able to discriminate editorial content from news.
“We have to give some credit to the American people that they’re somewhat intelligent and that they know the difference between an opinion show and a news show,” Hannity said. “You’re cynical.”
“I am cynical,” said Koppel.
“Do you think we’re bad for America? You think I’m bad for America?”
“Yeah.”
“You do? Really?”
“In the long haul I think you and all these opinion shows --”
“That’s sad, Ted. That’s sad.”
“No, you know why? Because you’re very good at what you do, and because you have attracted a significantly more influential --”
“You are selling the American people short.”
“No, let me finish the sentence before you do that.”
“I’m listening. With all due respect. Take the floor.”
“You have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts.”
In a series of tweets, Hannity later accused CBS of offering “Fake Edited News.”
"Fake Edited News" @CBSNews release the Unedited 45 minute interview so people can see the BS games you play in the edit room. I dare you!
Ted Koppel tells Sean Hannity he is bad for America - CBS News
...audience size and advertisers determine Hannity's influence...whether or not he's "bad for America" is irrelevant and a tad condescending...
So next time Fox squeal "Fake News!".....
Not only was the tweet deemed unnecessary, it also wasn’t true.
Donald Trump had in fact spent much of the weekend at his Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, the 13th such trip in his nine-week presidency.
So you will never be satisfied no matter what the news, Putin hardly sleeps works non stop and you still hate him, now Trump takes time off at Weekends and he's a sinner.
Are you that unhappy with yourself that all you can do is hate success.
when does the "success" part start again?...Originally Posted by wasabi

Nobody would be complaining if it were not for the fact that he explicitly promised not to play golf during his presidency because he would be so absorbed in making deals to make America great again. Working days, nights and weekends with no spare time for golf. That and the fact that he skewered Obama relentlessly for his occasional trips to the links. The idiot manchild is a fuking hypocrite, wake up and smell the coffee instead of being a whiny apologist who constantly gives him a pass for his embarrassing behavior.

wasabi, being a bit dim, also seemed to miss the point that this is the Fox News thread and I was actually pointing out that they blatantly lied.
Such his is snowflake sensitivity to anything that remotely criticises the orange-faced wanker, that went completely over his head.
Bye Bye Bill O'Reily.
Is Bill O'Reilly Going Off the Air?
Advertisers have short memories.
Once it all dies down, who's going to care?
He'll be back grabbing them by the pussy in no time.
Fox News has lost number one place to MSNBC. CNN now number two.
Now that Bill O'Reilly is gone, Rachael Maddow has the number one prime time slot.

Just watching a news program about journalism and ratings. They were saying Fox is losing viewers now because Fox is not covering the very real news about Trump.
Hahaha orange cunto's biggest arse licker frantically signalling the producers not to show orange cunto's curtsy.
Very dainty.
Media Matters will try to get advertisers to pull out of Sean Hannity's program over his pushing of the Seth Rich conspiracy story.
Fox had to do a retraction of that story.
Fox News retracts Seth Rich conspiracy story | TheHill
Hannity is at a low point. He made his program by bashing Obama and Clinton and those two aren't making news any longer. Trump is making his own self-destructing news which Hannity can't bring himself to report on. Leaves him with only the alt-right conspiracies to fume over.
The end can't come to soon for Sean Hannity. He is really a piece of shit.

I posted this Factcheck.org piece that debunks Gingrich and Hannity's lies yesterday but the mods deleted it for some unknown reason. Maybe with Misskit's impramatur it will not be shit canned again.Originally Posted by misskit
'Newt Gingrich claimed that a Democratic National Committee staffer “apparently was assassinated” after “having given WikiLeaks something like … 53,000 [DNC] emails and 17,000 attachments.” But there’s no evidence for his claim.
The former Republican House speaker is spreading a conspiracy theory about the killing of Seth Rich, who was shot to death in Washington, D.C., in the early morning hours of July 10, 2016, in what local police have described as a likely botched robbery.
The unsubstantiated claim about Rich’s murder got legs recently after Fox 5 in Washington, D.C., reported — and a day later largely retracted — that the FBI completed a forensic report on Rich’s computer and found that he had transferred 44,053 DNC emails and 17,761 attachments to WikiLeaks.
Fox 5 aired those details on the morning of May 16, based on the work of a private investigator, Rod Wheeler, who was hired by a third party with the consent of Rich’s family. But later that evening, Wheeler told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he had no evidence that Rich was in contact with WikiLeaks.
“Maybe it is related to the DNC. We don’t know that. We don’t know that for sure,” Wheeler told Hannity. “It could have been a botched robbery.”
CNN also reported on May 16 that Wheeler had no firsthand knowledge that Rich had been in contact with WikiLeaks. Wheeler told CNN that he got that information from another reporter at Fox News.
Fox 5 issued an “update” the next day that quoted Wheeler as saying there was a “miscommunication” between him and the local TV news station on whether he had anonymous FBI sources who confirmed that Rich had contacted WikiLeaks before his death...'
Gingrich Spreads Conspiracy Theory - FactCheck.org
Ooh the little jokers.Fox News on Tuesday retracted a story regarding the 2016 killing of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich after massive outcry over sharing conspiracy theories about the murder.
"On May 16, a story was posted on the Fox News website on the investigation into the 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich," the retraction reads. "The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting.”
"Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed.”
Hannity defiant and seems a bit worried.
SETH RICH'S MURDER: WHY SEAN HANNITY CONTINUES SPREADING THE WIKILEAKS DNC CONSPIRACY THEORY
Despite the pleas of a grieving family, and the growing unease of his own employer, right-wing commentator Sean Hannity insists he will not back down from his increasingly problematic claims that Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was slain last summer because he'd leaked information to Wikileaks. His murderers, in this warped version of the story, are presumably liberal operatives out for silence and revenge.
"I retracted nothing," Hannity said on Tuesday afternoon. The defiant statement was in response to Fox News retracting a story, published last week, that suggested Rich had been in contact with Wikileaks. Fox News posted a statement on its website that said, in part: "The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting. Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed.”
Nobody has done more to promulgate the Seth Rich conspiracy theory than Hannity, who believes that a link between the DNC staffer and Wikileaks would absolve the Trump administration of charges of collusion with Russia. That suggests, however, a cynically simplistic understanding of the investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia. More troublingly, it relies on a wholly invented narrative about Rich's tragic death, which appears to have taken place during a late-night robbery gone horribly awry.
"I feel so badly for this family and what they have been through," Hannity said on his radio show on Tuesday afternoon. A little later, he hinted at why he has insistently peddled the ugly conspiracy theory: "This issue is so big now that the entire Russia collusion narrative is hanging by a thread."
That seems unlikely, given the appointment of former FBI director Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, which many believe to be extensive and some think could be criminal. A few even believe they may be grounds for impeachment.
Earlier on Tuesday, Aaron Rich, the brother of Seth, sent a letter to Sean Hannity's executive producer at Fox News. "Think about how you would feel losing a son or brother. And while dealing with this, you had baseless accusations of your lost family member being part of a vast conspiracy," that letter said. Oliver Darcy of CNN reported that Hannity had not invited members of the Rich family on his show, despite touting his search for truth on their behalf.
In one of several tweets defending his coverage of the Rich murder, Hannity claimed that "liberal fascism" was responsible for the attacks against him.
IMPORTANT! Mediamatters is trying to silence me, get me fired, pressure my advertising on radio & TV. Liberal Fascism. I need your help!!
He also promoted his Fox News show, whose ratings have been slipping:
Huge announcement tonight about Seth Rich, Trump/Russian Collusion corrupt media, the liberal effort to silence me. And my future at Fox!
