Hannity Rips ‘Hypocrite’ Ted Koppel: ‘You’re Not a Journalist!’
RUSH EXCERPT:
HANNITY: "I guess people like Ted Koppel feel you, the American people, cannot distinguish between opinion and news. That’s like Obama. People cling to their god, guns and religion. Ignorant, irredeemable deploy roles — Hillary Clinton said that. It is a flagrant example of what I call edited fake news. Remember “CBS news” is the former home of Dan rather. He was forced to resign after reporting and inflammatory fake news story about president George W. Bush, rather used fake documents to bolster his story. The former home of Cheryl Atkinson, she was marginalized at CBS and stonewalled. They would not show a lot of her investigative journalism into President Obama and his administration. Is that agenda driven? Now they produce a package, although prominently displaying their dishonesty, bias and total hypocrisy here for every viewer to see. Ted’s interview with me he was not about substance or getting my real opinion. The story was written long before he walked into this studio here at fox. I was just used as a prop to advance his narrative which is why only one minute and ten seconds out of the 45-50 minutes was actually used. In other words, it was one minute and that is the one minute that fit into their narrative. That is edited fake news. By the way, other networks played the same game and have for many years. Now it’s time to expose this for what it really is. I have the ability to fight back. Cheap shot attacks in the name of journalism all to advance their bias agenda. What tied with really asking was this — our opinion shows bad for America? He thinks they are. Meanwhile, Ted was giving his opinion. He considers himself an impartial journalist but he was airing exactly what he said was bad for America. Right here on this show, on “Hannity,” I expressed my opinion because I am a talk show host and an advocacy journalist, if you will. Ted Koppel thinks he is down the middle. Fair and balanced. A real journalist. You’re not a journalist. You are very hypocritical here."
