Ted Koppel: Trump Is Right, Liberal Media Really Is ‘Out To Get’ Him
Usually, when old news anchors ride off into the sunset, they reappear as virulent liberals. Think Walter Cronkite, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather.
Especially Dan Rather. He anchored the CBS News for 24 years, taking over the chair from Uncle Walter. And after his career imploded over some seriously shoddy reporting, Rather jumped on the crazy liberal train, parroting whatever prominent liberals were saying around him. Just this week, the purveyor of folksy said about President Trump, “Much of the time, I sense the public has a sense that they’re facing a manure spreader in a windstorm.”
But Ted Koppel, the ABC News international correspondent who went on to anchor the nightly news and hosted the news magazine show “Nightline” for 25 years, is a different breed.
By that we mean honest — and surprisingly unbiased.
“I’m terribly concerned that when you talk about the New York Times these days, when you talk about the Washington Post these days, we’re not talking about the New York Times of 50 years ago. We are not talking about the Washington Post of 50 years ago,” Koppel said March 7 at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in a clip that first reported by NewsBusters.
“We are not talking about The Washington Post of 50 years ago. We’re talking about organizations that I believe have, in fact, decided as organizations that Donald J. Trump is bad for the United States,” he said.
Koppel said opinion is now clearly evident in what are supposed to be straight news stories.
