How Ted Koppel Could Shut Bill O’Reilly Up For Good

Ted Koppel took on the issue of the “death of real news,” singling out Bill O’Reilly and Keith Olbermann who, Koppel sad,” flaunt opinions as though they were facts.” O’Reilly has issued Koppel a challenge – to provide an example of O’Reilly lying on air, or giving an opinion not based on fact.

O’REILLY: This is a fact-based news analysis broadcast here, and the fact is that we’ve invited Mr. Koppel on the ‘Factor’ more than a few times… We want to discuss his ongoing beef.

O’REILLY: Ted Koppel..couldn’t give me examples of me lying on air and giving an opinion not based on fact… He couldn’t do it, and if he could he ought to come on in here and do it and he’d shut me up for good.

So, maybe Ted Koppel couldn’t do it, but Media Matters for America had the following ten examples… six years ago!

1. Oh, this is silly.


Fox News Boycott does not understand what is happening. Koppel and O'Reilly are providing cover for each other. O'Reilly is helping support the myth that the very conservative Koppel is a part of a liberally biased media, and Koppel is helping to support the myth that the serial liar and arch conservative O'Reilly is a middle-of-the-road straight shooter. They both work for the giant multinational corporations, the RNC and the extremely wealthy.

This is a play between two actors employed by the same theater company.
