TED KOPPEL WHERE ARE YE?

Brian Lowry wrote [http://www.variety.com/VR1117944511.html|a cool article/review from June 4, 2006] at Variety.Com about how ABC News' Nightline sucks sans it's original host Ted Koppel who left in the not too distant past. Here's a clip that gets his point across pretty well:

correspondent Jessica Yellin delivered a recent "Sign of the times" piece maintaining that President Bush's sagging approval ratings have emboldened celebrities "to feel new freedom to kick him around" -- utter nonsense, as anybody who pays attention to talkradio, People magazine or the Drudge Report can testify. If outspoken music and movie stars have been consistent about anything, it's a devotion to progressive social causes and antipathy toward the current administration.

Driving the inanity home, McFadden finished off the report by musing, "Nothing like bad poll numbers to bring out the critics."

That's just downright right-wing. I mean, what about the facts that caused the poll numbers to go down?

Nice job folks at Nightline!

At least Lowry is willing to call you losers out.
